They hugged each other backstage in a full embrace like old friends.
She grabbed his arm and whispered in his left ear.
She kept talking as he bent to listen, and he kept saying “Uh, huh. Uh, huh.”
Huh?
“I don’t know if what she was giving him was a sucker punch, but he didn’t put his arm down while she was talking to him,” said the Sneed source.

I think you make a lot of sense. My husband is just such a man. He likes to flirt with women and means nothing by it. Doesn’t do the “darling” thing, though; he’s a Jersey boy.
I hope this cougar gets her comeuppance.
What a GAY, blue shirt! Yuck!
...Gloria Alred should be ashamed to have exploited such an obviously deranged individual in such a public way.

Pretty sure such exploitation is Gloria’s specialty.
There is a good chance you are right, and at minimum it's a plausible explanation for Cain's behavior.
This is why avoiding even the appearance of suggestive actions is important for men, especially men in positions of power who might be attractive targets for stalkers or who could have their actions grossly misunderstood by a young female employee.
I realize there is a double standard here for men; professional women are expected to dress attractively and a certain level of smiling and social grace is virtually mandatory for female professionals or they get accused of being hard-core feminazis, but men can't get away with even mild flirting.
Too bad. Guys, get over it, and stop the flirting. It will come back to bite you in the butt.
After nearly a decade in the South, I am still very uncomfortable when someone calls me or others around them “honey,” “darling” or similar terms which are, at best, open to misunderstanding. In virtually all cases I am certain the people mean nothing by it; it's just the way people of a certain generation were raised.
We don't live in that generation anymore and unless you're a white-haired grandma sipping mint juleps, it needs to stop — ***ESPECIALLY*** in business when you have a power relationship with the person you're addressing in those terms.
In cases where I can deal with the situation privately without offense, I do so. In some cases I simply cannot do anything about it — and in those cases I put as much emotional and professional distance as I possibly can between myself and the person using such language. I cannot afford to be associated with men who act that way around women, and women who act that way around men are downright dangerous.
Personally, I think one of the best solutions to the problem is very public flirting and situationally appropriate public displays of affection with one's own own wife which observers can see are appreciated by her and not just endured. That's far from a guarantee the guy isn't two-timing his wife, but it sure does deter a whole lot of nonsense.
all we need now is the kiss and the thirty pieces of silver...
I'd hit it.
Bingo!
Go sit in your car and get your wife or lady friend to sit in the right seat.
Now try to put your hand in that magic spot and pull her head down to you...
Steering wheel in the way, a tight fit for a big man,,,,left arm reaching for her leg, right hand behind her head...
Cain would have to be a life time practitioner of yoga to make the stretch.
A guy raching for a leg would be much more apt to use the other hand to get a hug or a kiss.
As someone said on another thread, too much detail makes for a contrived story of lies.
Exactly, How?
From what I get from the article, the whore was throwing herself at Cain.
“Perhaps she’s the one who groped Cain, and got rebuked!”
Thats more like what I’m thinking. She probably grabbed his crotch and he’s the one that said “You know I have wife and I’m happily married”.
If a guy harrassed me I would never go near him again for any reason and neither would any other woman I know.
And what mortified, shocked, very upset woman would on her own approach a guy who “assulted her” and hug him and whisper in his ear?
Maybe to tell him she is going to hang him by his .....?
And in that even he would listen and keep saying uh huh, uh huh....?
That photo of the two makes it obvious that the so called harassment never happened.
Don’t look at the smile because facial expressions change. Look at the bone structure. I think it looks like the same woman because of the jaw line.
Did you see her outfit on Fox this morning?? I’m sorry, but....
And look for Herman Cain detractors (read: Mitt and Perry supporters/nut cases) to start a new line of attack accusing Cain of knowing that she was going to attack him because of this interaction and that his campaign should have gotten out in front of it.
Nope. The conspiracy will be; It was a setup to make himself look like a victim, gaining sympathy support in dollars and otherwise.
All to help further his stalking horse plans with Romney, of course./s
Yep, the classic liberal seminal caller scheme where they call in and tell the host they are Republican [real conservatives do not feel the need to do that] and then go on to mouth the standard liberal talking points. Liberals are herd mentality people so they tend to think other people think that way as well and will be persuaded by a person pretending to be "one of the herd". Her tea party creds are that she voted in the Republican primary in 2008 and showed up to a Tea Party event... and the press eats that up as meaningful, forgetting that a lot of Democrats voted in the Republican primary that year in order to swing it to McCain and Tea Party events aren't restricted. So, did she vote in 2006? 2004? 2000? Earlier? No one seems to have the answer for that, have they? And no one implies a lifelong voting record, at least not as of last night. She's also never been a political donor, which is unusual for a so-called conservative. One source said she didn't even register to vote until 2006, which would be awfully late in life for a "conservative" to take an interest in voting.
Are you sure that pic is from the Tea Party Convention just over a month ago?
Sharon Bialek seems to have balooned in weight yesterday.
If so, I recommend she joins the reality show -— THE BIGGEST LOSER.
