apology of the incident......JMO. The late 80's and first part of the 90's was rampant with sexual harassment,so this does not surprise
me.....(has nothing to do with black/white.....just MALE perception of acceptable behavior.
If past performance is any indication, he will blame this all on racism and say he's being singled out because he's black.
Right now, he's refusing to talk about it ... and his campaign manager changes the rules on a press conference -- not allowing questions, as he he had previously promised. His ignoring the reporters toward the end of this clip reminds me of Sharron Angle when she ran away from reporters to avoid questions:
Now there is a witness who saw the incidents, and who said a lot of people knew about them but are not allowed to talk about it. Did they make EVERYONE sign a non disclosure on this? And he said it happened more than once so this is not just that hand gesture that Cain is saying. I actually fear for this ladies life. Not from Cain but from his supporters. He said.... "I was around a couple of times when this happened and anyone who was involved with the NRA at the time, knew that this was gonna come up.""It was only a matter of time because so many people were aware of what took place, so many people were aware of her situation, the fact she left---everybody knew with the campaign that this would eventually come up." Wilson said for legal reasons, he can not discuss details of the incident. "But if she comes out and talks about it, like I said, it'll probably be the end of his campaign."
I just heard a third woman stepped forward but I do not ever go by ANYONE that waits to report something like this until they are running for something. That is wrong.

Just a devils advocate here......what IF the individual just wanted to get on with their lives and move FORWARD........then,the victim
discovers the perp is running for office....not just any office,but POTUS! From my POV, you have two choices.....forget about it and
remain quiet OR speak up.....knowing full well that you will be vilified,called a media whore and will be cruicfied. It takes someone with
great resolve to speak up and NOT be a victim,but,in this situation,I believe it is MANDATORY......JMO
He really has to clear this up. Let the ladies talk. Let the new witnesses talk and then explain it and move on if there is no story. He can't even get his message out now. He talked today about healthcare and all people wanted to ask about after was about this story. He got pissed, yelled and them and left. That won't work. If there is no story let's get rid of it so he can talk about the issues again!
