Cain Gets Major Applause At Debate After Dismissing Harassment Claim
Real Clear Politics ^ | 11/9/11

Posted on 11/09/2011 8:55:44 PM PST by Kartographer

CAIN: Yes. BARTIROMO: You know that shareholders are reluctant to hire a CEO where there are character issues. Why should the American people hire a president if they feel there are character issues?

CAIN: The American people deserve better than someone being tried in the court of public opinion based on unfounded accusations. That's...

(APPLAUSE)

And I value my character and my integrity more than anything else. And for every -- one person that comes forward with a false accusation, there are probably -- there are thousands who would say none of that sort of activity ever came from Herman Cain.

You're right. This country's looking for leadership. And this is why a lot of people, despite what has happened over the last nine days, are still very enthusiastic behind my candidacy. Over the last nine days...

(APPLAUSE)

Over the last nine days, the voters have voted with their dollars, and they are saying they don't care about the character assassination. They care about leadership and getting this economy growing and all of the other problems we face.

(APPLAUSE)

Personally, if you think Romney is any different than Obama you’re hoping against hope.

Can you clarify? Do you mean you took that as the audience supporting his words ‘princess nancy’?

By the way, I think if the boos were people supporting Cain calling her ‘princess Nancy’, that there would have been a lot more than 3 or 4 boos to support him. Generally applause is used for support and boos for disapproval. jmo

He sounded like Ronald Reagan when he said the third thing that was wrong with Dodd/Frank was Dodd and Frank. HA!

I missed the debate but caught the sound bite on how you work with the other side of the isle. (paraphrasing) ... you present a compelling argument to the American people, then you bring both sides along!!! ZING! the camera panned Romney and he knew he had been beat!!!!!!

Yes. I thought they liked his characterization.

Good points. I took them as support as little as there were,
if they were disapproval, then good, there weren’t many of them.

Bigger picture. Herman is standing strong in spite of intense scrutiny.

The links I provided above, are much more exhaustive.

I wouldn’t worry so much. Cain’s telling it like it is, is what people like about him and most people are praising his saying what they think but don’t say. Cain has LONG called Pelosi “Princess Pelosi” and Harry Reid “Prince Harry”

Cain is doing better with women than teh left wants you to believe. Most people are not buying these allegations, in fact SeekandFind posted some polls yesterday that showed majority of GOP women believed Cain’s version of events.

Investigator: Herman Cain innocent of sexual advances

Thanks for stepping up and saying what I've been thinking.

One of my closest friends was sexually assaulted (the real kind, not the faux outrage) when she was much younger. 30 years later, she still has nightmares about it.

Since then, she has had to deal with harassment issues in the workplace, and has either blown them off or shut them down herself, without making any complaints. Like you, she says that compared to what she experienced long ago, it's insignificant.

Then we hear they are planning a joint presser with the Allred phony Bialek.
Okay, enough already. What is the point?

Alinski rule #11 - "If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into it's counter side."

Cain MUST keep going.......

Alinski Rule #7 - "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."

Right now, they have to push this and push it hard, so it breaks through and becomes a "truth. " If Cain continues to fight back, that "truth" is blurred, and their tactic fails.

The real question at this point is, Do these fools know who they are dealing with?

Allred just might be smart enough to have a clue, probably is. The Chicago floozie and the serial whiner, probably not.

Agree.

That’s why Hermans using him is backing up his words, with action.

Lovely glance into the abyss, wasn't it?

I'd stow any relative away on a tramp steamer rather than let them consort with the likes of that one...

Maybe by the time they'd worked their passage they'd come to their senses.
