Both Romney and Perry are to blame in this story. Perry’s campaign leaked it, and Romney’s campaign picked up the story and ran with it. Not it is being found out that Emmunal and Obama were the original planters, and give the story to Perry.
THere is nothing to leak, and no evidence ANY campaign leaked it, and no evidence Perry’s campaign had anything to do with it.
Both women knew the settlement, as did apparently other people at the NRA< and people Cain told it to in the past, and apparently people in his current campaign. There were people who observed the incidents, Cain notes that he turned the investigation over to others, and those others had staff, and there were lawyers involved, and lawyers staffs.
Cain has repeatedly used his presidency of the NRA as a campaign point, so of course the news media was going to ask around for anything bad that happened in the NRA during his time there. The question isn’t “how did the story leak”, but rather “how could Cain be so stupid as to believe nobody would ever find out about it”?
I can’t believe intelligent freepers actually think that the media couldn’t learn about this just from asking people in the NRA about it. Clinton couldn’t keep the blue dress from getting out, and it was just him and Monica, and he thought Monica WANTED to stay quiet.
It’s clear the women talked to their friends, and I’m sure their friends remember the stories. And now Cain is national news. THAT is what changed in the past month. And you all think one of those women, or friends of the women, would NEVER think to pick up a phone, call someone, and say “Hey, I see this Cain guy is like going to win the republican nomination. Did you know that he was accused of sexual harrassment? Yea, there was a settlement and everything”.
Really? You think instead that it had to be some political campaign that would dig up the story?
