According to a statement from the Cain campaign, Cain will hold to the conference at the Scottsdale Plaza at 3 pm.

“I know what happened, and he knows what happened,” Bialek said on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight. “One of my whole objectives was to give him the opportunity to come forward, to redeem himself, say, ‘Hey, I’m sorry. I did this. It happened. And let’s move forward.’ And it is unfortunate. I’m very disappointed that he didn’t take the lead in this.”

She said in the interview that she was prepared for an expected media onslaught, but was more concerned about how it would affect her teenage son

Yes, I saw him, and he was excellent. Made me want to tune in to the press conference tomorrow.

Kimmel was very fair to him—didn’t give him “the treatment”. Audience reaction was far better than I thought it would be.

Cain lost my vote when he stated that there were no sexual,harrassment settlements, then backtracked and said there were...his credibility was gone at that point.

Welcome to FR.

We're careful to deal in facts here.

Cain never signed the "settlement agreement for the termination of the employee" of which "sexual harassment" was not any part of her termination from the company.

Herman was terrific on the Jimmy Kimmel show.

A perfect blend of outrage and humor.

Yep, just watched it myself. It appears his press conference is at 3PM but it made no mention of time zone.

That is not always a good thing when fearlessness exceeds the wisdom of caution. He’s got a serious problem here.

Freepers can tell themselves it’s okay and they are all lying women, but voters are not necessarily going to see it that way.

I feel bad for his wife.

It’s similar. They also said that the women were trailer-park trash and bimbos, they blamed Clinton’s political opponents unendingly, counted nothing as evidence short of a DNA test or criminal conviction, and announced that Clinton deserved a free grope, anyway.

Cain supporters and Clinton supporters say a lot of the same things.

It wasn’t a settlement, it was severance pay, which was without any admission of liability by Cain and who was not a party to that agreement.
