I especially don't like it when there isn't much proof and it appears all foo foo and fairy dust. The restaurant paid out some $70k to make a potential suit go away? So what, that's less than it would take to litigate the damn thing. Good business ... good business if it doesn't blossom into 15 or 20 suits. It doesn't appear that Cain is running as a holier than thou, my marriage is better than yours, I believe women should be put on a pedestal, I think its a shame that everyone except me is a poon hound, ... campaign. That said, until its shown beyond a reasonable point that he deserves to be indicted, he gets a pass from me for (potentially) doing this. How can anyone as tonedeaf as Cain and his advisors hope to win the Presidency????? Like it or not, winning the Presidency is more about appearances than reality. No matter how good the policy points of William Calhoun (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Calhoun), he wouldn't win against the utter inanities of Dwayne Johnson (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwayne_Johnson). I don't give a rats ass about Cain's supposed sex life, his political acumen sucks. I don't like sex scandals in politics.

I loved it when Cain lectured reporters on journalistic ethics... HA!! There's an oxymoron if I ever heard one! Cain's latest accuser is being represented by Gloria Allred... 'nuff said on THAT issue.. It's obvious to anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together what the agenda is here.... Especially when one considers that Cain's latest accuser was all over Cain a month ago at a Tea Party convention.. No mention or indication of sexual harassment then, eh?? Strange how that is, eh..... Michale..... Will be interesting to see how Cain handles this with his press'er later today...
