ATLANTA (AP) - Republican candidate Newt Gingrich is decrying media coverage of the sexual harassment claims against rival Herman Cain and says that Cain's tax plans deserve more attention.
Gingrich has told WSB radio in Atlanta on Wednesday that he thinks it's "disgusting" that the news media has started what Gingrich described as a "witch hunt" against Cain. It was revealed this week that Cain's former employer, the National Restaurant Association, settled in the 1990s with two women who claimed that Cain had sexually harassed them.
A third woman has told The Associated Press that she considered filing a sexual harassment complaint but never did.
Gingrich says Cain is trying to help a country that's in trouble and has gotten more coverage for what Gingrich termed gossip than for Cain's tax policies.

It could end up a Cain/Gingrich ticket.
Good for Gingrich.
Speaker Gingrich was the person the left perfected this tactic on.
I’d vote for a Cain / Gingrich ticket in a second.
Next Saturday, 5 p.m. Pacific, 8 p.m. Eastern - C-Span. Newt and Cain are having a two man debate. Sounds fantastic.
Id vote for a Cain / Gingrich ticket in a second.
>>It could end up a Cain/Gingrich ticket.<<
Heaven!
Good on Newt.
Exactly!
I am soooo sick of the GD Marxist media in this country blowing up this who gives a damn story in their attempt to destroy this good and decent man, while totally ignoring the blatant theft of a billion dollars (or more) by Jon Corzine, who should be in a prison cell by now.
Looks like Newt is gunning for Cain’s VP slot...which is fine.
The VP debate alone is worth that.
That’s what I’m thinking too. It sure does seem to be heading that way.
He has baggage, but God Bless him. Gingrich did the right thing in this case, and it will not be forgotten by Cain supporters, everyone has my word. (I also think he is savvy and sees the tide turning and knows that if you don’t get on board and help a guy that is savaged like this, then it will speak ill of your own Presidential campaign...I wonder who will be next to show up at the party).
Contrast Newt supporting Cain on this with MittsyFlippsy’s comments, which were along the lines, well questions about Herman Cain’s sexual harrassment issues should be directed to Herman Cain, not to me. What a friggin a%$. Kudos to Newt.
Someone had done a pretty good job connecting the dots on the leak to the Romney camp.
For example:
The Northern Virginia Lawyer blog says Steven C. Anderson, who donated $1,000 to Mitt Romney in July is the same person who took over as head of the National Restaurant Association following Cain’s departure. As such, Anderson would have knowledge of Cain’s case.

Mark my words, this wasn’t Perry; it was Mitt’s camp.
Yep. He and Ron Paul are the only two who didn’t jump on that bandwagon.
It could end up a Cain/Gingrich ticket.
