I don't know if there is more than one source or not, but, according to Politico, Chris Wilson, a Governor Perry supporter and pollster for the super PAC that supports Governor Perry, worked at the National Restaurant Association and is the (a?) source for the Cain/sexual harassment story.
He said the episode of harassment occurred in a public restaurant in the 1990's and that many people knew about it. What is WEIRD about the Politico story and Chris Wilson, is that Chris Wilson would not or did not say what happened. The only reason that omission catches my attention is that sexual harassment is a rather fluid concept. Some actions are OBVIOUSLY sexual harassment and some are NOT and are merely actions misinterpreted or exaggerated.
Hence I would like to know what it is that people (Chris Wilson) say Mr. Cain did. Of course because Wilson is also a Governor Perry guy, his remarks (accusation) should be looked at with a discerning eye and it is all the more important that he provide more information about what he claims Mr. Cain did.

Thank you. You just exposed your agitprop agenda. i’m not a Cain supporter, but you don’t care so long as you spread your spittle out upon GOP in general. N00b, you’re stinking up the place.
I have lived here for over 2 decades and I like the guys governance.
Good. Keep him. We don’t want him infesting the United States with his liberalism. Keep him in Texas especially since you seem to love him.
BobL responds:
Dont answer me that way, pal. I had said that PERRY signed the (gay-friendly) Texas Hate Crime Bill.
Rather than defending Perry, you seem to have a problem with what he did. Watch out, or Ill tell Cincinnati on you, and shell whip you into shape.
We CANNOT allow Perry supporters to leave the reservation...because that makes them start to look like legitimate FReepers, rather than campaign staff (and it makes it tougher for me to label them).
So, Ill give you a chance to take back what you said.
Begin with: I support Perry signing the Hate Crime bill because...
Wow....what a tool. LOL
You have no clue what’s going on.
I know lots of educated black men and women that will vote dem even though they themselves have lived conservative lives for the most part.
There is a great sympathy on their part, that even they cant call BS on.
Many have Grammys and Grampys that are bitter and poor.
They meter how much they dole out to the family by blaming the old folks plight on the conservative pricks.
I have seen it over and over.
You will find Hispanics to be far more accepting of conservatism.
“What escapes the Perry and Romney supporters is that, should either win the nomination, they will be pummeled by the same type of anonymous accusations, and they will have helped create the precedent for it.”

I couldn’t agree more.
I just can’t imagine aligning myself with the likes of Politico the way the Perrybots have.
As you noted, once these tactics that the Politico have been employing on Cain are used on Perry (should he win the Primary), we’ll hear non-stop cries of: “Hey, this isn’t fair...they are just accusations by an un-named source!” The Perrybots have decided to join in with Left-wing hacks like Politico in destroying a conservative GOP candidate. I will not suffer their cries of unfairness when the media savage Perry.
“You will find Hispanics to be far more accepting of conservatism.”
I agree with that, and I don’t even think that Cain will convert a large number of blacks to conservatism...but he still may well get their votes, based solely on his ideas.
We shall see.
Perry has NO record of alcohol abuse.
That's the sort of crap liberals throw around.
GWB is a "Dry Drunk"
Keep it up weenie.
Oh, I know. They were embarrassing. I like Sarah Palin, but some of her supporters are awful. And most of them have transferred their slavering worsphip to Herman Cain.
Oh, be careful or theyll label you a Perrywinkle.
That's OK...I've labeled them the Tiny Hyenas of Groupthink Island. LOL
What's very telling about Perrybots like yourself, is that you never seemed bothered that this was a hit piece by Politico...a Left-wing rag. If this were happening to Perry...accusations that were almost 20years old, and never litigated because they were deemed baseless; you'd be outraged. I think this makes Perrybots like yourself as sleazy as the Politico.
You think this won't happen to Perry? If he does win the GOP primary, I expect to see the same silence from the Perrybots about the Politico (and other Left-Wing rags) who do these types hit pieces, and the same criticism of your candidate. Trust me, there will be things in Perry's past that the Left-wing media will trounce out, just like their doing to Cain. Any defense or excuse you make for Perry will be met with: “Remember your standard for Cain?”
Yeah, Chris Wilson has a lot to answer for. Half-stepping allegations won't cut it.
I understand that the purpose of the campaign is to select the best candidate and that could include exposing weaknesses in other candidates before they get to the general because they will certainly get exposed there.
However, as you say, these things can be handled face to face or in a private phone call and giving Cain a chance to respond. Leaking unsubstantiated rumors to a liberal rag like politico through an operative reeks of unsavory political instincts.
Perry has NO record of alcohol abuse.
I never said alcohol abuse so stuff it nor did I say a record so you are the exaggerator not me. Second, you obviously didn’t see his pathetic video in New Hampshire. If that is the case, you should it is a laugh.
I completely missed the Bobs post LoL!
I don’t know much about this Hate crimes stuff, but I do know there was tremendous National pressure in 2001 when the stuff got passed.
The entire media was in a tiff about them Texans dragging James Bird to his death.
It is my personal opinion that we don’t need laws to micromanage the laws that exist.
The pricks that killed Mr Bird are murderers and worse.
Perry believes the same and he has taken aim at ridiculous legal action with the tort reform.
Right now it’s based on medical lawsuits, but it sets a legal precedence.
We know who you are.
If you analyzed the info that came out on this story, these women are not the “leakers”... but don’t let a little fact like that get in the way of trashing them.
That faked video with the editing and false premise?
We know who you are.
AFAIC they are as responsible for her downfall as anyone... hero worship never benefits anyone... it is one reason I pretty much stick elsewhere.
What on earth are you talking about?
