In the last week, three, now four women have come forward anonymously to accuse Herman Cain of sexual harassment in the '90s when he worked for the National Restaurant Association. One of the women has even said that he tried to persuade her to accompany him to a corporate hotel room. The fourth accuser has not yet spoken, but is backed up by a celebrity lawyer named Gloria Allred. She's put together a tough defense and it'll be hard for Cain to counter now that four people are coming forward. Cain has not handled the attack well though. He's denied all claims, but his denial has been shaky at times. These accusations came forward just as he was becoming a frontrunner with Mitt Romney in the GOP race for nomination, so he is beginning to blame his opponents for the accusations, claiming that Rick Perry's campaign put them forward. This all just seems like a big excuse to me. Surprisingly though, Cain hasn't dropped many points remains a frontrunner with Romney. This all seems very fishy and I know that my trust in him has gone done since these allegations have come up, but more due to the way that he's dealt with them. It will be interesting to see what the fourth accuser has to say and how her lawyer will back her up.
