Looks like Cain's perversions are at best a minor issue, since seven out of ten Republicans don't give a shit anyway.

PS - - the issue is not whether he signed it, but whether he knew about it.  Obviously he did.  Hence his ludicrous attempts, after denying the settlement, to distinguish between "settlement" and "agreement."

[Xavier_Onassis]

So effing what?

Plausable deniability rules here. One needs to be extremely naive to believe that Cain was unaware of his organization buying off these women with rather huge awards.

If THREE of ten Republicans DO give a shit and vote against him or simply stay home, then Cain loses. Do, as they say, the math. This is not about the nomination, it is about the general election.

If the election is seen as the philandering Negro vs the Socialist Negro, there will be a White third party candidate,and Cain is likely to lose. There are racists and there is a racist vote, and Cain will not get it.

D'OH

I still think Cain's best bet is to get the NRA to release the two victims from their non-disclosure clauses  (apparently the settlement to each of them was equal to or greater than their respective annual salary) so that, if it's only sexual talk in an alcohol-saturated environment, most rational people can see that it's really NBD.  Cain's ongoing refusal to lance the boil seems to indicate either that he's incredibly stupid or that he's really got something that needs to be covered up.  And in either event that he's a bit of a sleazeball, although that in itself is certainly no turn-off to GOP voters.

Not necessarily. from the linked article.

Bennett said the agreement was resolved relatively quickly, about two or three months after she complained.

That means it may have been reached after Cain left the association, and Bennett said it's conceivable that Cain didn't even know about it.

<<That means it may have been reached after Cain left the association, and Bennett said it's conceivable that Cain didn't even know about it.>>

Fair enough, although quite a stretch, since most people would be concerned enough to enquire, but nevertheless, how do you spin your way out of Cain's flip-flops on whether he knew if there was a settlement? 

"No settlement" 

"oops, well I thought you were asking about an agreement" 

Like in that context there was such a huge gap between "settlement" and "agreement" and Cain "innocently" mistook the one for the other, even though the interviewer HAD asked about a "settlement."

The currency of journalism is credibility.

Politico is bankrupt.

Why worry over a fabricated story about Cain when nobody cared about Clinton and his bimbo eruptions. I think Clinton had an entire team of people in place to deal with and extinguish his perverted sexual escapades from becoming campaign issues.

[Xavier_Onassis]

The Restaurant Association paid one woman $45K and another $35K. It was clearly not a fabricated incident. It is not the incidents themselves that reveal why Cain should not be president, but his stupid and clumsy way of trying to weasel out of the whole thing with the phony confusion between "agreement" and "Settlement". There is a greater difference between beard and whiskers, car and vehicle.

It seem to me that the left is not behind this, because the time to spiring this would be three weeks before the general election IF Cain were to get the nomination.

Apparently you don't understand that frequently settlements are made for fabricated sexual harassment because it's cheaper than litigating. Too bad you live a sheltered life that does not allow you to know such easy to know facts. Anybody can make a false charge and collect a settlement; it happens all the time. The amounts you mention easily fall into this category because had there been a real case the amounts would have been into 6 figures. For a guy that claims to be the smartest man in the world you are rather dense.

I understand that no organization is going to shell out $80K based on no facts at all.

Apparently you don't know that.

[Amianthus]

Sure they will, if they think that attorney costs will exceed that amount if it went to litigation. Discovery alone could exceed $80K, not to mention the trial. I was once involved with a federal contract dispute, and the cost of discovery exceeded $120K. The case was settled after discovery but before the trial.
