These almost substantial charges trigger the dreaded...
Hotair can’t wait to bury Cain and exaggerate unsubstantiated claims with unnamed sources.
This is close to my sending Cain some bucks.
It pains me to say this but I just don’t have a good feeling about where all this is going.
I would love to be wrong.
Let’s see? Where does that billionaire bundler of shady Obama bucks live? Oh yes - Tulsa.
This is completely bogus. There's no legal reason this guy can't talk.
As per other thread, Wilson used to work for Rove, now works for Perry.
I don’t know about the rest of you folks, but if I had this somewhere in my background, or any other negative incident, I would not even think of running for public office. It always comes out. Especially if you are a Republican. Keep those skeletons in your closet and find another interest besides politics.

Former President of National Restaurant Association has Ties to the Mitt Romney Campaign
0diggsdiggBased on a suggestion from a local blogger to look into political donors on the Board of Directors of the National Restaurant Association for potential ties to presidential campaigns, I have attempted to identify anyone privy to inside information about the National Restaurant Association who also has recent ties to any presidential campaign.
According to the October 2011 FEC report for ROMNEY FOR PRESIDENT INC. a gentlemen named Steven C. Anderson gave $1,000.00 on July 14, 2011. FEC search function here.
Steven C. Anderson is the same gentlemen who took over the helm as Chief Executive Officer at the National Restaurant Association (after a brief intermission) upon Herman Cain’s departure in 1999. As CEO it is highly likely he would have been privy to details of litigation and threats about litigation from the immediately previous tenure of Herman Cain.
There is little more than a coincidence between the support for Mitt Romney and the likelihood that Mr. Anderson knows the background of the sexual harassment threats. Nonetheless, watchers of this scandal endlessly pontificate about whether President Obama or a rival campaign is the driving force behind the bombshell story that appeared in the Politico on Sunday.
Reporters should follow-up with Mr. Anderson to discern his knowledge. At the least he likely knows the short list of people with inside knowledge about the sexual harassment allegations.
~23:15 11/1/11 UPDATE: Apparently as this post has taken on a life of its own I need to clarify a few things.
1. This truly is the exact same Steven C. Anderson at the same address that gave donations while at the National Restaurant Association in the early 2000’s.
2. I have purposefully not listed his address, and made it slightly difficult to find. There is an error in the FEC database that leads to a mistaken link for those who dig deeper. Rest assured he made the donation.
3. He may not be the source. If he is not, then he likely knows the short list of people who could have been the source.
Lastly, do not forget to follow @ppradoslaw on Twitter as I broadcast to thousands of conservatives libertarians, and a handful of patient moderates, democrats, and progressives.
Romney damage control. Trying to point finger at Perry staff.
O’Reilly said that if a repub did this they are finished. So Myth and Perrito are running hard on this thing.
At this point I’m wondering if we’re all better off hearing from the women - a non-sexual gesture that made her uncomfortable???? I hate this PC crap. Probably if it actually comes out it will all be much ado about nothing.
Unless he dropped his pants in front of her and told her to kiss it ( or do her with a cigar), or if he didn’t father a love child, or he didn’t leave her to drown in a car, I don’t see how this should impact his campaign.
This whole story reminds me of my dog (dog = media).
Every morning, 6:00 AM, she gets up at the first sound of movement in the house. She pesters the first able body without pause. Runs in circles, runs to the hall, runs back trying desperately to get the able body downstairs. She works herself into a panting frenzy in short sprints between the closest person and her dog dish. Her entire world, every morning, for a time, revolves around one of us pouring 1.5 cups of dry dog food into a bowl. She scarfs it down in 34 seconds. She then saunters upstairs to go back to sleep.
Really? All that and your going back to bed?
That will be how this story ends. “Well, that was fun.”
Herman is in an impossible situation—there’s no way to prove a negative.
The Left does it when anything is said about Obama. So should we.
If there is any truth to any of this, the act will have to be quite horrible for Cain to be disqualified. We had a president who, in the Oval Office no less, pulled his pants down and inserted his erect penis into the mouth of a 21-year-old girl. This country gave him a pass. The bar has been set pretty high.
and as we all know, a pollster, would never, ever lie!

Wilson described the woman as a low level staffer who was maybe two years out of college. “This occurred at a restaurant in Crystal City....
This would make a lot more sense if it said Crystal City Restaurant.
“This occurred at a restaurant in Crystal City (Virginia) and everybody was aware of it,” he continued.”
So what did this “witness” see?
if a guy can’t tell a gal that she’s got a sweet rack, how’s he gonna get anywhere these days... sheesh...

all men are pigs.
and some pigs are more equal than others.

If true ....and its a big IF ...how do politicians put themselves out there knowing this stuff is coming? .....I always thought that the sexual history of Clinton showed incredible corruption as he was a top politician operating with tons of baggage ,,,,the only way someone can do that is to intimidate people into silence
