This could be really bad for Cain.

Now Cain is blaiming Perry. But Perry will be on Hanity tonight able to defend that.

I think you're missing the obvious answer... I doubt that the women came forward because he was running for office. My guess is that they were already under a non-disclosure agreement...Why would they suddenly decide to ignore that and spill the beans? If they were going to drop a hint to the news guys, why would they do it and then through their attorneys say, "We can't divulge details because we're under a non-disclosure agreement"....? That makes no sense. No, this smacks of a typical Republican "dirty trick." One of the other primary contenders probably found out about it and leaked it. (Who hates the "wingnuts"---Bachmann, Palin, Cain, Perry....? Does the name Karl Rove ring a bell?) This sounds a LOT like something Rove would do. So, the story gets leaked; the news media scrambles to get the juicy details, and turns up these women, and starts releasing more and more information until they are tracked down; and now they are being badgered to "tell their stories", but they can't...because of the non-disclosure agreement...

C'mon, people... Stop the kneejerk reactions and think...for once. These women had NOTHING to gain from spilling the story. They had their money already, and they had an NDA agreement on file. No, this smacks of the right-wing dirty-tricks-machine devouring its own. Who else would stand to gain from Cain's downfall?....Hmmmmmmm.... Could it be Perry? Now, THAT I would buy. Could it be Romney? Not likely, but possible... Bachmann?...She's not that smart.

SO-O-0........Has anyone one seen the George Clooney's produced and directed move "The Ides of March"???????........the story has
to unwind and THEN we will see the true facts.....take a deep breathe and exhale.

Hate to admit this, but for once there is some degree of logic behind what you are saying here. Not to worry, eventually some empathetic progressive news organization or sponsor (Soros perhaps?) is going to pull out their checkbook to provide the money that will have to be paid back if the NDA is breached to allow the "victims" to disclose all the "facts" surrounding the events so that they can "clear the air" and "defend their reputations".

More likely, it's the Koch brothers who are trying to take down Cain.

A third former employee considered filing a workplace complaint against Herman Cain over what she deemed aggressive and unwanted behavior when she and Cain, now a Republican presidential candidate, worked together during the late 1990s, the woman told The Associated Press on Wednesday. She said the behavior included a private invitation to his corporate apartment.

The woman said he made sexually suggestive remarks or gestures about the same time that two co-workers had settled separate harassment complaints against Cain, who was then the head of the National Restaurant Association.

Cain specifically blames a Perry consultant, Curt Anderson. He says he told Anderson about the sexual harassment allegations when Anderson was working on Cain’s 2004 Senate campaign.

They just asked Block about what proof they have of that and they don't have any but they are demanding an appology from Perry for this story. Serious?

More accusations...

Steve Deace, an influential conservative talk radio host who hosts a nationally syndicated show in Des Moines, Iowa, also accused Cain of saying “awkward” and “inappropriate” things to his staff.
