As an aside: 61 calls/texts over a 4 month period doesn't seem to be that excessive.

Good point. A call every other day on average. I could have 20 calls to/from a number in a day just playing phone tag.

There may be days with many calls, or there may be calls of long duration. 61 calls of long duration might be a concern, particularly if they were followed by a hotel reservation call when they were both in the same city.

No proof of anything. I said in an earlier post and I'll say it again:

It is not in my character to throw someone under the bus just because it is politically expedient.

The only way he loses my support is if he is PROVEN to be a liar. Otherwise this is all calumny.

Actually the reporter lumps phone calls and texts together and doesn't differentiate the number of each from Herman as opposed to how many she originated:

She showed us some of her cell phone bills that included 61 phone calls or text messages to or from a number starting with 678. She says it is Herman Cain's private cell phone. The calls were made during four different months -- calls or texts made as early as 4:26 in the early morning, and as late as 7:52 at night. The latest were in September of this year.
A short session of texting back and forth could be as few as 2 or as many as 10 or more. Was the reporter being intentionally vague so it appears to be more than it is?

Something I just noticed from the article:

The calls were made during four different months
So, it wasn't over a 4 month period - they were even more spread out.
