Third Women Accuses Herman Cain Of Harassment
Per TPM livewire:

AP: A third woman who worked with Herman Cain at the National Restaurant Association has come forward to complain that Cain engaged in sexual harassment, according to the Associated Press.

Here it is in the Globe & Mail:

A third former employee says she considered filing a workplace complaint over what she considered aggressive and unwanted behaviour by Herman Cain when she worked for the presidential candidate in the 1990s. She says the behaviour included a private invitation to his corporate apartment.

She worked for the National Restaurant Association when he was its head. She told The Associated Press that Mr. Cain made sexually suggestive remarks or gestures about the same time that two co-workers had settled separate harassment complaints against him.

The employee described situations in which she said Mr. Cain told her he had confided to colleagues how attractive she was and invited her to his corporate apartment outside work. She spoke on condition of anonymity, saying she feared retaliation.

Mr. Cain's campaign declined to comment.


I bet they did decline....running out of bullshit responses at this point.

1. This should pretty much finish his candidacy I would think. But one never knows with
voters on the right.

2. He's not a Democrat so they'll ignore it and minimize it.....a la Vitter....
I suspect the Party, though, is another story -- this will make them very nervous.
