New witness in Herman Cain case
Source: ABC 7 News

A former suburban Chicago doctor is expected to reveal new details on Monday aimed at discrediting presidential candidate Herman Cain, the ABC7 I-Team has learned.

The new witness, according to sources involved in the case is Dr. Victor Zuckerman. He has scheduled a news conference for Monday at 1 p.m. with attorney Gloria Allred. The news conference is scheduled for Monday at a Holiday Inn in Shreveport according to a TV station KSLA. Zuckerman was the boyfriend of Chicago business woman Sharon Bialek, who is also represented by Allred.

Dr. Zuckerman is expected to describe how he was with Bialek when the two of them met Mr. Cain at a Chicago restaurant in 1997. Cain has denied any recollection of the encounter. That alleged dinner was the precursor for Ms. Bialek's one-on-one meeting with Cain in Washington, DC a month later. It was during that discussion in a car that Bialek claims that Cain "suddenly reached over and he put his hand on my leg under my skirt and reached for my genitals."

-----

The then-boyfriend was not identified at the time. The I-Team learned his identity last week and attempted to contact him. He did not respond. His Facebook page was taken down as of Monday morning.

1. It will be interesting to see how pathetically *they* try to discredit a male doctor.

4. This will not hurt Cain among Republicans...
My guess is they will claim this guy works also works for Obama...I am surprised that has not been said here on DU as well.

9. Ditto...and it again points out the perverse nature of the GOPBaggers and T.Haters...
Holy and Pious...loaded with Pearl Clutchers...

but with a simple Wink & Nod, they ALWAYS give a pass to these types because it suits their needs.

Outrage and Drama is only for those they disagree with.

...it's old and it's tired.

13. You mean they think like they did with Palin and Hillary?
McCain thinking that all the women who wanted to

vote for Hillary would turn around and vote for Palin?

e.g "One black guy can cancel out the other"?

Yeah, that has been brought up, and they are

dense enough to believe that.:eyes:

7. The Character Assassination Effort
Has focused on Bialek not being capable of anything more substantial than a burger flipper at Burger King. Dating a doctor certainly discredits that attack tactic and calls into question all the others as well. But the character assassination effort has been highly effective in that other women have not stepped forward for a joint appearance, fearing becoming another Anita Hill.

11. It hasn't happened yet...
I am watching a live feed which shows the media waiting for the news conference to begin. It is on CBC in Canada so I am not sure those in the U.S. can access it but I here's the link in case you can:

14. HEHEHEHEHEHE
I first thought mister cain also messed a man as well - LOL

OK I read it. Ex-boyfriend is backing up ex-girlfriend's story. Oh well, time to destroy him also.

I wonder if the Cain's clan is trying to settle out of court again.

16. Dr. Zuckerman is very credible....
I have no doubt the Cain campaign people are desperately scrambling to find something, anything to discredit this man, I don't think it will work, in fact, it will backfire badly.

19. Now it's a 'he said she said/he said' point.
I'd really love to see Cain get what's coming to him but all these news conferences that don't amount to shit are only distractions.

22. Was Herman Cain forced to resign from the National Restaurant Association?

The NRA paid off two settlements. In the first settlement, logic would say
that the NRA had a serious talk with Cain about the incident. With the
second settlement, the NRA had to ask him to leave. If they kept buying
off the complaints then the NRA would have opened themselves up for
a huge lawsuit for condoning sexual harassment. Just look at the time
he resigned from the NRA, about the same time as the second settlement.

Who would resign from such a prestigious position? Look at the job he had afterwards.
NRA Presidents
Ransom M. Callicott, association president, 1949
Herman Cain, President from 1996-1999.<17>
Steven C. Anderson, President, 1999-2007<18>
Dawn Sweeney, President 2007-current

After Cain's term with the restaurant advocacy group ended in 1999, Cain
returned to Omaha for about a year, moving to his hometown of Atlanta in 2000.<43>
