The person who was “behind it” was probably simply a journalist sniffing about for a good story, and Cain should have been ready for this to come out, especially since he now acknowledges (after denying several times) that he had discussed this earlier at the time of his failed run for office.

And does it matter who was “behind” it? What about having Cain give a straight story in answer to it rather than trying to focus on who did it and attempting to tar the names of all of his rivals? In my opinion, this is disgraceful behavior.

It sure as hell matters to me, and I suspect I’m not alone.

I thought we all had a right to face our accusers.
Think they will call these women trailer trash like they did to Paula or Broderick or willey?

I think it does matter who’s behind it, if it’s someone other than just a “journalist sniffing about for a good story “.

I agree the whole thing should have been dealt with better.

It’s sounding more & more like he has a habit of speaking to or around women in ways he doesn’t realize might offend or intimidate or give the wrong impression. Not that he means to do it, but his ‘plain speaking’ may mean he also has difficulty editing himself to meet the demands of this PC world.
That’s just my guess until I learn more.

Bullshiite! The only thing disgraceful are so called conservatives falling for this hatchet job. This is nothing but throwing crap into a fan and hoping something sticks. Good thing it is only the 2% on FR who fall for this dirty political maneuver.
