THE WOODLANDS, Texas (AP) -- Republican presidential contender Herman Cain grew agitated with reporters after a debate with Newt Gingrich and is vowing to never answer questions about allegations of sexual harassment a decade ago.

Speaking after a one-on-one debate with rival Gingrich on Saturday, Cain cut off reporters who asked about allegations of sexual harassment and suggested journalists who wanted answers were behaving unethically.

I don’t blame him. If the leftist media is going to perpetuate this non-story they can do it w/o him.

Cain cut off reporters who asked about allegations of sexual harassment and suggested..............I wish he said; “Go talk to Clinton or Edwards, they have far racier things to tell you than I do.”

Good decision. He’s answered it for 5 days. Time to stop. Just move on and it will die off.

He’s answered them. He said he didn’t do anything. The restaurant association confirmed he wasn’t found guilty of anything. He didn’t even sign the agreement based on what we know. Enough is enough until something solid and verifiable surfaces where there is some sexual component then there is nothing left to say.

How many Bill Ayers/Jeramiah Wright questions did Obama answer? Much, much more serious than harrassment.

Good for Cain. Wasting time treating these scum seriously is how GOP politicans get in trouble. Spends 90 mins on the best debate of the year and rather then talk about that they pimp the smear.

Good for Mr. Cain. If I were him I would have called a presser, said what he said ONE time, i.e. have not harrassed anyone and the old charges were found to be baseless, and that anything else would be repetitive, so this will be his last word on the subject. You know a conservative can never win with those guys, so why play their game? Just say it once and screw the AP if they don’t like it.

Suppose they gave a "scandal" and nobody came.

The shyster lawyer is pushing this. It might be worth a few bucks for Herman to pay an investigator to see what he can dig up on the shyster. Everybody has a few skeletons.

So he’s abandoning his campaign? Because that is the effective outcome if he doesn’t get ahead of this.
