Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorums presidential campaign on Tuesday called on GOP frontrunner Herman Cain to be more forthcoming about harassment allegations dating back to his leadership of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s.
Santorum adviser John Brabender made the remarks during a forum of top aides to the 2012 presidential campaign managers in Washington D.C. hosted by the National Journal. Brabender appeared irked during the discussion when Cains campaign manager suggested Cain is the front-runner of the race.
What I would encourage the Cain people to do is if you are the front-runner and you plan to be the nominee to be forthcoming so that you are vetted and we that we dont get into a situation where youre the nominee and we find things after the fact, Brabender said.

santorum acts like a vindictive old woman.
and his aides project the same bitterness.
???
You can’t be more direct and fourthcoming. What is he talking about?
Now I am sending him money.
The smear is blowing up in their faces.
Santorum had better spank this guy or it will not go over well with the base.
Boooooo!
So much for the 11th commandment... RIP!
Time for Santorum to shut up and drop out.
Go home, you can’t even win the re-election as a senator for your own state. You even support a liberal like Arlen Specter over the conservative like Pat Toomey; when your in the White House you going to appoint left wing judges too; pack your bag, you can’t win sir.
If those comments had been made in private and never reported, I would consider that a positive (but I would not know). To make those comments in public was a mistake, one that makes me more confident that the voters got it right when they decided to ignore Santorum.
Maybe they should ask Obama when he stopped doing coke?
Hey, Ricky, how about calling for Cain’s anonymous accusers to be more forthcoming, starting with revealing their true identities, so that we can investigate their backgrounds and make an informed judgment of their credibility.
But, of course, that would only serve to help Herman Cain, and not destroy him, so you’re not interested.
F-U-R-S!
I am more and more convinced that poor ole Rick Santorum just ain’t that bright. Neither are his consultants.
He keeps attacking Cain, as if Herman Cain is the problem ANY of us face today. It’s not. It’s Obama. As long as Santorum attacks Cain, he will continue to lose support. Especially if he does it on the backs of liberal talking points and liberal smears.
I just KNEW Santorum would not be able to help himself!
I HATE that SOB with the intensity of a 1000 suns.
Been waiting to see which pub would be first out of the gate on this. Santorum. Wow.
Santorum is off my list.
I always suspect that those with no chance of winning, hang around because they are doing the dirty work of one of the front runners.
Hmmmm... Santorum..oh yeah... Rick “2%” Santorum? THAT guy?
....
Seriously, Rick... don’t join in the smearing. You’re going nowhere in this campaign and you’ll not benefit from this.
No, Bendy, you were charged with assault... with a dead weapon!
