I don't know Feisty, is his campaign circling the drain? Who picks up the anti-Romney vote if Cain is toast?

Newt? I haven't heard exactly what Cain is supposed to have done, but what I have heard is not anything worse than the things we know Newt has done.

Perry? I'd guess he will pick up Cain's voters should Cain go down, but Perry has a LOT of issues that make him even less palatable than Cain, they just haven't come to the fore yet.

Bachman? Yeah, I can see her winning a competition to see who can eat the most paste while sitting in a corner, but not the Republican nomination.

So many women, so little time....gotta' listen to those voices in your head, eh Pizza Man!

He tried to make the ladies offers that 'they couldn't refuse'.....But they did refuse!

Barf!

He claims this as a witch hunt. Do any of the Republicans remember Pres. Bill Clinton And Ken Starr. Now that was a witch hunt.

Who picks up the anti-Romney vote if Cain is toast?

Ron Paul?

He has quite a cult following...

*kool-aid* anyone?

So how many came forward with Billy Bob stories during his run? Flowers, and the rest. Didn't stop his election.

Billy Bob didn't have an issues until Monicagate, and he then assisted all of us by asking the question defining sex. Remember Billy Bob did not have sex with that lady! Only got a BJ.

Just like the tip hotline into law enforcement. Always a lot of claims, but what is really the truth? Seems like a lot of people may very well be seeking their own version of "15 minutes of fame".

Somebody check the toaster...Cain is done!

Poor Pawlenty must really be regretting his premature pullout these days. Nice, safe and dull may start looking more attractive to conservatives as the other GOPsters implode. I'd bet that Timmy never sexually harassed anyone, and would never give a weirdly loose Perry-style performance either.

Well of course Cain would say more false allegations would come out in the future. It's the only way to explain away all the true allegations that he knew were going to come out in the future. He was trying to be on the offensive. hmm... but I see right through it.

"There were more who did not"?? What kind of stupid comment is that? So that makes it ok? That's like saying, "Mr. Doe only had 2 girls report him of rape. There are more who did not."

I know, it must've been the way they were dressed at work huh? They should've known better than to be in a room alone with management.

Or is it toasted cornbread?

Yes, on an open fire!

We are starting to smell something ! Not sure its walnuts

...and then there's this little nugget...

GOP pollster makes Herman Cain accusation

A veteran Republican pollster and former National Restaurant Association employee said Wednesday morning that Herman Cain sexually harassed a woman at an Arlington, Va., restaurant in the late 1990s.

Chris Wilson, now the principal of an Oklahoma-based GOP consulting firm, said in an interview on Oklahoma City's KTOK radio station that the episode took place in the neighborhood where Cain kept an apartment when he headed the restaurant trade group.

I suspect the greatest of the gleeful gloaters you reference are his Republican rivals, as Democrats would have welcomed the Hermanator (his term) into the 2012 race for POTUS. And, although we may have lost some "great legislators/leaders to the politics of personal destruction", there is a significant difference between that and political self-destruction. Whatever is the outcome of this story, be consoled that at least Mr. Cain wont be mourned among the "great leaders" we have lost. In addition, "if it turns out that he's just an ass who made some suggestive and smarmy comments" that would make him guilty of sexual harassment of employees in the workplace. You don't seem to think that seemingly lesser infraction should end his career, but fortunately the law states that women no longer need to tolerate that sort of abuse from their bosses.

no democrats would want him to self destruct....everyone in the democratic party would love to see herman cain v. obama in the southern states i think with white voters sitting it out obama could actually make headway...i have some of the first obama test buttons that say....vote for me at least i'm half white...lol lol

I can't wait for the Republican nominees to post their comments here, as that was my obvious point of reference, only the disingenuous would pretend to think otherwise. As bad news for the front runner is good news for the rest of the field, stating the obvious seemed so well, obvious.

It is doubtful if Herman Cain would ever be elected to any office let alone be a "great leader" , Like FDR, whose polio would have been exposed by opposition research and surely ended his political career long before his first attempt at national office. Or Dwight Eisenhower, whose affair with his aide, Kay Summersby would have been exposed by opposition research and ended his political career before it began. JFK?

Under today's "journalism" those three and countless others at the municipal, state and national level would have been prevented from or never have attempted to seek office. Herman Cain may be 'the least of us", but the situation is the same regardless of the merits or political stripe of the person involved. My statement that '...If it turns out that he's just an ass who made some suggestive and smarmy comments, the damage is already done and probably so is Herman." is a simple statement of fact.

As to your reference to the "seemingly lesser infraction" of bad speech as opposed to stalking and groping someone...yes, that DOES seem to be a lesser infraction as FORTUNATELY every state has stiff penalties and things like orders of protection against the latter...but you can feel good about your high standards, higher than the law, society in general and well, me.

Thanks for the rebuttal, only I wasn't defending Cain, calling him a "great leader" or condoning sexual harassment, I was commenting on the endless parade of politicians sexual scandals, the politics of personal destruction (Cain didn't 'out' himself, did he?) and the double standard that the left and right use when the creep is one of their own.

Don't know about the loser part. Painting Helen G Douglas RED in the 1950's congressional campaign worked quite well for Tricky Dick.

Remember, he doesn't need to know the details. He has advisers for that! :)

Evidently, Politico had approached Mr. Cain's campaign for their comments ten days before they went public with the story. To now act as though he was caught off-guard by the media on the first day of coverage is completely disingenuous. Rarely, would a President have that much warning before needing to give his first reaction to an issue. Feigning amnesia for the events, 'confusion' between the terms agreement and settlement, and a plethora of misleading statements was obviously the best strategy he or his team believed they could devise for dealing with this still-developing scandal.

This was leaked by Karl Rove.

Can you prove it, or is this just another liberal lie?

dude im not a republican but karl rove has taken the perry and cain thing seriously he thinks their goofs watch fox news he hates them think they are destroying the gop chances.....dont blame the dems they would like nothing more than perry or cain.....

da good news

faux will no longer be on Direct TV

wanted to much dinero

Charlie,

Based on Haley Barbours comments it could have been Barbour who instigated this, either way they are dumping Cain and fast, he was just a little too successful as their token negro!

So true, they wanted the token, they just didn't want him to win the nomination...

Ann Coulter: "Our blacks are so much better than their blacks," she said, speaking of Democrats. "To become a black Republican, you don't just roll into it. You're not going with the flow...and that's why we have very impressive blacks in the Republican party."

Republicans are so clueless when it comes to race and gender, they don't call it the Grand Old Party for nothing - old ideas and stereotypes...

i've seen pictures feisty is hot....

She also sounds like her brain is functional

reasoning-inductive and deductive

unusal in this day and age

wunder if she takes to lder men

I am 63 and married

wife in Switzerland though

3 boys 5 ,9, 10 years old

my man 63 is the new middle age....if you got kids that young and a wife in switzerland....i think you'll be sufficient to charm fiesty...

charming is not what I was thinking of

wife only visiting sister

will be back in Honduras in 1 month

hoping I get my VA problem solved by then so i can be home

just kidding about fiesty

my wife uses a knife rather too well

she is getting old though

she turns 28 this month

So was Billy Bob Clinton also a dirty old man back in his day? lol, lol.....dirty lying dogs, huh?

With Clinton, they were consenting adults, with Cain he's a sexual predator.

Women flocked to Bill Clinton in droves

Women run from big bully dirty dog Herm Cain

Herman Cain is the Devil !!!!!!

Does that make Obama the Anti-Christ?

Clinton was just as bad as Cain, he lured them in, and used them, then threw them away. I guess by your definition that would also make Bill Clinton the Devil.

Do you have any proof? You remind me of Jesse Jackson and the Duke Blue Devil Lacrosse Team.

like we say there a difference between sexual hara and sex ones unwelcome...

proof that cain lied about everything that's all i need a sexual hara suit i can understand he made a mistake lying about it i can't..

ted bear

I am tthe anti-christ and anyone with a brain is anti-christ and if it was not for the f---king christians we would not be in Iraq or Afganisr-tan worrying about our heritage. when they are going to get even for the deaths of 150,000 innocent civilians.

not today but I do worry about my great-greAT=GRANDCHILDREN

FURTHERMORE THERE WAS NO CHRIST

only people wanting to make money and gain influence by promoting crap

Yeah, "tap three times on the stall if you want me"...

yes i am....i liked monica l. im into berets

Too bad it wasn't raspberry...

Yeah, they are adament about everything that doesn't make sense to normal people.

Hmmmmm...Axelrod, neighbor and health club co member of Bialek...you fill in the blanks

Let's see if MSN will allow this to be posted...hope so. So sad how so many people are being manipulated by the "severely leaning to the left" media group MSN.

Think for yourselves people, go online for your source of news, other than mainstream tv media.....there is SO much more out there...

Just letting everyone know that MSN DID CENSOR MY POST! I tried to include two links to other articles available on line...I'll try it this way to see if I can get it through.

Just type in: http:// then type in: www. then type in : cbsatlanta.com/ then type in: story/16002149/investigator-herman-cain-innocent-of-sexual-advances

it's a video.

Now I will just cut and paste this one:

DAVID AXELROD'S PATTERN OF SEXUAL MISBEHAVIOR

November 9, 2011

Herman Cain has spent his life living and working all over the country -- Indiana, Georgia, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Washington, D.C. -- but never in Chicago.

So it's curious that all the sexual harassment allegations against Cain emanate from Chicago: home of the Daley machine and Obama consigliere David Axelrod.

Suspicions had already fallen on Sheila O'Grady, who is close with David Axelrod and went straight from being former Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley's chief of staff to president of the Illinois Restaurant Association (IRA), as being the person who dug up Herman Cain's personnel records from the National Restaurant Association (NRA).

The Daley-controlled IRA works hand-in-glove with the NRA. And strangely enough, Cain's short, three-year tenure at the NRA is evidently the only period in his decades-long career during which he's alleged to have been a sexual predator.

After O'Grady's name surfaced in connection with the miraculous appearance of Cain's personnel files from the NRA, she issued a Clintonesque denial of any involvement in producing them -- by vigorously denying that she knew Cain when he was at the NRA. (Duh.)

And now, after a week of conservative eye-rolling over unspecified, anonymous accusations against Cain, we've suddenly got very specific sexual assault allegations from an all-new accuser out of ... Chicago.

Herman Cain has never lived in Chicago. But you know who has? David Axelrod! And guess who lived in Axelrod's very building? Right again: Cain's latest accuser, Sharon Bialek.

Bialek's accusations were certainly specific. But they also demonstrated why anonymous accusations are worthless.

Within 24 hours of Bialek's press conference, friends and acquaintances of hers stepped forward to say that she's a "gold-digger," that she was constantly in financial trouble -- having filed for personal bankruptcy twice -- and, of course, that she had lived in Axelrod's apartment building at 505 North Lake Shore Drive, where, she admits, she knew the man The New York Times calls Obama's "hired muscle."

Throw in some federal tax evasion, and she's Obama's next Cabinet pick.

The reason all this is relevant is that both Axelrod and Daley have a history of smearing political opponents by digging up claims of sexual misconduct against them.

John Brooks, Chicago's former fire commissioner, filed a lawsuit against Daley six months ago claiming Daley threatened to smear him with sexual harassment accusations if Brooks didn't resign. He resigned -- and the sexual harassment allegations were later found to be completely false.

Meanwhile, as extensively detailed in my book "Guilty: Liberal 'Victims' and Their Assault on America," the only reason Obama became a U.S. senator -- allowing him to run for president -- is that David Axelrod pulled sealed divorce records out of a hat, first, against Obama's Democratic primary opponent, and then against Obama's Republican opponent.

One month before the 2004 Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate, Obama was way down in the polls, about to lose to Blair Hull, a multimillionaire securities trader.

But then The Chicago Tribune -- where Axelrod used to work -- began publishing claims that Hull's second ex-wife, Brenda Sexton, had sought an order of protection against him during their 1998 divorce proceedings.

From then until Election Day, Hull was embroiled in fighting the allegation that he was a "wife beater." He and his ex-wife eventually agreed to release their sealed divorce records. His first ex-wife, daughters and nanny defended him at a press conference, swearing he was never violent. During a Democratic debate, Hull was forced to explain that his wife kicked him and he had merely kicked her back.

Hull's substantial lead just a month before the primary collapsed with the nonstop media attention to his divorce records. Obama sailed to the front of the pack and won the primary. Hull finished third with 10 percent of the vote.

Luckily for Axelrod, Obama's opponent in the general election had also been divorced.

The Republican nominee was Jack Ryan, a graduate of Dartmouth and Harvard law and business schools, who had left his lucrative partnership at Goldman Sachs to teach at an inner-city school on the South Side of Chicago.

But in a child custody dispute some years earlier, Ryan's ex-wife, Hollywood sex kitten Jeri Lynn Ryan, had alleged that, while the couple was married, Jack had taken her to swingers clubs in Paris and New York.

Jack Ryan adamantly denied the allegations. In the interest of protecting their son, he also requested that the records be put permanently under seal.

Axelrod's courthouse moles obtained the "sealed" records and, in no time, they were in the hands of every political operative in Chicago. Knowing perfectly well what was in the records, Chicago Tribune attorneys flew to California and requested that the court officially "unseal" them -- over the objections of both Jack and Jeri Ryan.

Your honor, who knows what could be in these records!

A California judge ordered them unsealed, which allowed newspapers to publish the salacious allegations, and four days later, Ryan dropped out of the race under pressure from idiot Republicans (who should be tracked down and shot).

With a last-minute replacement of Alan Keyes as Obama's Republican opponent, Obama was able to set an all-time record in an Illinois Senate election, winning with a 43 percent margin.

And that's how Obama became a senator four years after losing a congressional race to Bobby Rush. (In a disastrous turn of events, Rush was not divorced.)

Axelrod destroyed the only two men who stood between Obama and the Senate with illicitly obtained, lurid allegations from their pasts.

In 2007, long after Obama was safely ensconced in the U.S. Senate, The New York Times reported: "The Tribune reporter who wrote the original piece (on Hull's sealed divorce records) later acknowledged in print that the Obama camp had 'worked aggressively behind the scenes' to push the story."

Some had suggested, the Times article continued, that Axelrod had "an even more significant role -- that he leaked the initial story."

This time, Obama's little helpers have not only thrown a bomb into the Republican primary, but are hoping to destroy the man who deprives the Democrats of their only argument in 2012: If you oppose Obama, you must be a racist.

Darrell,

Cain is out. The GOP is not about to allow the election choice to be between Cain ( Mr. Black), and Obama, (Mr. Mocha), they are going to put a white guy in their somewhere , somehow! Look to Haley Barbour and his minions as the source of this story. In any case Cain was just a little TOO successful as the GOP's token negro. The really alarming part of this story is that Cain doesn't seem to know that!

Yup, too much success breeds contempt. Cain should have known better, but tokens never believe they are actually tokens - just ask Michael Steele... He's just a pawn on the Koch brothers chess board, White Bishop takes Black Pawn - check mate! They want to crown Perry but he acts too much like a rook...

Mav, You left off the C ----crook!
