GOP pollster makes Herman Cain accusation

[Tx4obama]

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.

"This occurred at a restaurant in Crystal City (Virginia) and everybody was aware of it," Wilson said on the station. "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."

"It was very uncomfortable," said the pollster, recalling that other individuals present asked Cain to stop.

Wilson said there were at least three other people at the gathering, but wouldn't share the name of the woman for publication.

5. Will this GOP pollster be accused of being part of the liberal high tech lynching?

I can't wait to see how the hatemongers will explain this story...coming from one of their own. What a freakin' circus! :rofl:

10. Yeah, the republicans have been trying to pin this on the democrats ...

But I hope everyone remembers that it doesn't matter who leaked the story, the main thing is Cain's actions and the fact that a monetary settlement was payout which is documented.

It's gong to be interesting for the next few days as the dripping continues :)

6. Is this Herman "Don't Talk to Me Unless I Talk to You" Cain?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=post&forum=439&topic_id=2230842&mesg_id=2230842">Herman Cain Staff Policy: Don’t talk to me unless I talk to you

ABC News’ Jonathan Karl (@jonkarl) reports:

Today’s New York Times story on Herman Cain is based largely on anonymous quotes from disgruntled former staffers, but it includes an intriguing reference to a staff memo directing those traveling in a car with Mr. Cain, “Do not speak to him unless you are spoken to.”

Could the affable Mr. Cain really have a “don’t-talk-to-me-unless-I-talk-to-you” policy?

Yes. He does. Really.

A top aide to Mr. Cain explains to me why.

“It’s the same policy for any Secretary of Defense or four-star general,” a senior Cain staffer explained to ABC News. “You don’t talk to them unless they talk to you, generally. Sometimes you get guests in the car and they want to talk and talk and talk, and then Mr. Cain wants to prepare for the next interview or the next speech. and he’s very engaging, so it can be a distraction. After a while, he gets to the point where he doesn’t want to talk, but wants to prepare for what he’s doing next.”

17. He's done. Not so much by his accusers, but by the ones that

willingly shlepped with him. Eventually they will talk for the money.

Doomed.
