When Herman Cain held the long-awaited news conference late Tuesday afternoon to tackle allegations that he sexually harassed four women, a smooth-talking Southern attorney was the first person to step to the microphone.
Cains lawyer is L. Lin Wood, a well-known Atlanta-based trial attorney who has carved out a successful career representing the high-profile and falsely accused, often seeking eye-popping damages for those he believes have been libeled or slandered in the press.
Former CBS news anchor Dan Rather once called Wood the attorney for the damned.
When asked why he had chosen to represent Cain, Wood cited the media circus.
I have spent many years representing clients who have seen their reputations and lives destroyed by false accusations in the media, Wood wrote in an e-mail message to The Post Tuesday evening. I believe that Herman Cain has been unfairly put on trial in the court of public opinion based on reports from unknown or anonymous sources, rumor, speculation and inherently improbable statements by the most recent accuser.
With Woods hiring, Cain has a powerful ally on his side. A partner with Wood Hernacki & Evans LLC, Wood has a three-decade-long career prosecuting, and defending, celebrity clients, sometimes winning mega-settlements on their behalf. He is a fierce advocate....

He is also leading in the polling, has been raising money hand over fist, and is far more credible than any of his accusers. He still has my support and he should have the support of every conservative who wants to see Mitt Romney be defeated.
To Tear Down Herman Cain is to aid Mitt Romney & the Marxist Kenyan
Well duh. But that doesn't oppose what the poster said. C'mon. Did you read my post? I suspect not. It fits your image.

I jumped to Cain after The Flirt© bailed. Now its on to Newt if Cain drops in the polls. So far Cain is hanging in there. We'll see. If its Mitt, might as well just cry myself a river and pine for the country I thought I lived in.
Newt should handle it like Europeans. Wink and smile and nod and get back to debating the issues. Everyone knows Newt is a sleazy lover but, after 8 years of Bubba, will anyone in the USA care? The Dems should flock to Newt!
NEVER doubt your instincts. Instinct is the voice of G-d warning you...
