CNN has been reporting about the Cain story tonight. And they're going to stay on the story...

[jenmito]

This is what happened when Cain was confronted. They showed this on CNN:

"I am not going to comment on that," he told Politico when asked specifically about one of the woman's claims.

When asked if he had ever been accused of harassment by a woman, he responded, Politico said, by asking the reporter, "Have you ever been accused of sexual harassment?"

This has legs!

1. Good enough!

[jenmito]

3. Strange that he didn't deny it. n/t

4. Translation: The GOP has had their fun, but it's time for Cain to go away.

Can't have him actually being a viable threat to win the nomination, but he did give the GOP a little bit of "See? We're not racist!" cover for the gullible.

[jenmito]

5. Yup. If it is a fake story, it didn't come from the Dems. It would've come from Perry or another

Repub.

[golfguru]

15. Who has the most to gain from this story NOW?

It is Perry.

[Sherman A1]

16. I disagree with your assessment

The ones gaining from this story now are the media. It is the typical cycle of build up one candidate then tear them down. It's about the news cycle and keeping stories alive to hopefully keep interest then sell advertising. It has nothing to do with journalism just sensationalism.

[golfguru]

25. Of course you have a point there too.

The story will sell quite a few newspapers and boost ratings of TV news shows.

[jenmito]

21. I agree. Romney, on the other hand, would WANT Cain still in it so he and Perry can slug it out to

be the anti-Romney. But it looks to be a true story no matter who got it out there.

20. +1

[Tarheel_Dem]

6. I wonder who tipped them off? I'm gonna bet it was one of the other campaigns.

But whoever did it, let's hope Herman goes the way of Caribou Barbie pretty soon. :hi:

[jenmito]

7. I agree...

Dems. would have no reason to want him to be out of the race yet. :hi:

[JaneQPublic]

13. Exactly. HC should be our first choice for an opponent, if Palin isn't running. (nt)

[jefferson_dem]

8. And on FauxNews, Geraldo is (hard) on the case...

It's a total feeding frenzy... Watch the video at http://www.mediaite.com/online/politico-reports-herman-cain-sexual-harassment-allegation-coverup/

And Cain will be at the NPC tomorrow. http://press.org/events/npc-luncheon-herman-cain Oh goodie!

[jenmito]

23. HA! The Freepers called it. I was reading there to see how they were feeling about this

and sure enough, they said Geraldo would be all over this. GOOD!

Yeah-the media is waiting for him to maybe have to say something today at 12:30pm today.

[TeamJordan23]

9. Funny, I don't see any mention of this on Fox News' website. Imagine if it was a Dem candidate. jk

[Tx4obama]

14. But Geraldo put the cherry on the top tonight on FoxNews when Cain's spokesman called in

Watch this video: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/geraldo-blasts-herman-cains-spokesman-during-call-in-for-not-denying-sexual-harassment-claims/

Bravo Geraldo !!! :)\

[Politicalboi]

11. Yes who among us hasn't been accused of sexual harassment

LOL! Just like getting a ticket for some I guess. This is going to be good. :popcorn:

17. RepubliOinkery is not an American Family Value

Sheesh.

[SkyDaddy7]

18. Damn! I was kinda hoping that Cain...

would be the nominee...I guess it will be Romney after all.

Romney is the most sane one besides Huntsman but Romney is the biggest political chameleon in my lifetime!

Does anyone else think Cain would be better for Obama than Romney? Or do you have a different opinion?

[Raven]

19. I'll bet Perry will be next. n/t

[WI_DEM]

22. It might help him with GOP voters to be confrontational with the media.
