(CNN) -- The attorney for a woman who accused presidential hopeful Herman Cain of sexual harassment in the late 1990s said Thursday his client is not prepared to hold a news conference about the allegations until all the other reported victims agree to join her. Joel Bennett said his client, Karen Kraushaar, has tried to reach two other women who also claim they were sexually harassed by Cain during his 1996-99 stint as head of the National Restaurant Association.

Something good did come out of all this....we got to see how Herman Cain responds in a crisis.

Bodes well for the future if he becomes President.

"Or do they even exist?"

At this point, Bialek has soured the well. No career-oriented DC woman is going to get up on stage with Sharon Bialek. NONE.

“IMHO, Ms. Gloria Allred is not the sharpest knife in the drawer!!! Again, if this women is smart, she will disappear into the safety net of the invisible, never to be heard from again.”


It would appear Ms. Allred has already disappeared.

I’ll take option number 2: The “other 2 women” don’t even exist.

This was an establishment (RATS and maybe even RINO) and media orchestrated hit job that failed, IMO.

People (Coulter, et. al.) were uncovering connections to Obama’s Axelrod, much of the public was simply not buying it (although the meme of “5” accusers is still out there), and Cain’s name and popularity was/is growing as respect for the media was/is tanking.

Likely a good time for them to pull the plug, but we will see.

Right. The RATS are nothing more than bullies on this and many other issues. It is time they are stood up to and smacked down hard on many issues.

Personally, that is why I think he was hit with this pile stinking crap now - because he was gaining pretty quickly. The wanted to stomp out a growing brush fire.

The steam went out as soon as Cain said that no amount of allegations would drive him from the race.

I guess they figuered eventually they are going to have to answer a sustantive question but than again with the Obama controlled media maybe they wouldn’t but who knows a question like...

Why did Bialeks boyfriend allow a black man to sexually assault his pretty white girlfriend and yet he did nothing, never called Cain, wrote Cain, confronted Cain, never went to the police, never told his pretty white girlfriend to go to the police, nothing. Girlfriend without a job molested by the head of the NRA, a rich black man and they expect people to believe they did nothing for 14 years? Not only does that make him a sorry excuse for a man, it doesn’t pass the smell test.

You know, these sorts of comments are very affirming for conservatives and very damning for the racist RATS.

Out of all I read and heard on this issue on Free Republic and many, many other news sources, the only racist remarks that I heard came from the RATS bashing Cain, conservatives who support Cain, or both. It was VERY clear when a conservative was speaking about versus a RAT.

If there are any lawyers on this thread... Do you think there is back channel communications going on between Wood, and Bennett or Alred?

I am just wondering if Mr. Wood is delivering a more explicit warning to the shysters about how this is going to pan out if they press it.

The picture was from google images, and was obviously mislabeled, I’ll delete it.
Thanks

If I recall right, the witness also said that she couldn’t understand why Bialek would say that she did not know Cain would be there and made it sound like Bialek KNEW Cain would be there. From what I remember reading, she basically proved Bialek was a liar right then and there. If course, the MSM discuss dwell on that admission.

Indeed. They had expected to be able to play this with nothing more than soundbites and innuendos, but with Wood watching every move they make it becomes very difficult to manufacture any salaciousness.

This could be a watershed moment in American politics. The first time a “borking” has been effectively preempted. I’m not counting Thomas in that list because he won his fight by means of a “hail-Mary” pass at the close.

There are going to be a lot of lessons to be learned from this fiasco when the dust settles.

What we need is a photoshop of Karl Rove and Gloria Allred sitting on the couch like Nancy and Newt.
