Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has raised $2 million in campaign contributions in the week since sexual harassment allegations against him became public, his spokesman J.D. Gordon said today. By comparison, the Georgia businessman collected $2.8 million in political donations in the entire June-to-September fundraising period. The release of the fundraising numbers came as Cain's GOP rival Jon Huntsman urged Cain to disclose all the information about the allegations, which have dominated the GOP contest in recent days. "It's got to come out in total," Huntsman said, during an appearance earlier today on NBC's "Meet the Press." "Legitimate questions have been raised." Huntsman, a former U.S. ambassador to China who trails in the polls, said the allegations have "taken all the bandwith" in the primary. Cain has repeatedly denied allegations he sexually harassed women in the 1990s when he headed the National Restaurant Association. During an appearance Saturday in Texas, Cain refused to answer reporters' questions about the issue. "We are getting back on message," Cain said. "End of story." Gordon blamed journalists for the controversy, saying "not a single shred of evidence" supports the allegations. "The American people see it for what it is, a malicious smear campaign," Gordon said in an email today. "And it has not impacted Mr. Cain's poll numbers." He said Cain is eager return to discussions about the economy, taxes and national security. On Friday, Joel Bennett, a lawyer for one of Cain's accusers said a "series of inappropriate behaviors and unwanted advances" by Cain prompted his client to file a sexual harassment claim with the restaurant association. The woman, who has declined to be identified publicly, received a financial settlement. News reports say another woman also received a settlement from the trade group in the 1990s to resolve a separate sexual harassment claim involving Cain. Cain will remain in the spotlight with an appearance on late-night TV. Gordon confirms Cain will appear Monday night as a guest on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

Does anybody really expect anything different from Leftards and their media lapdogs????
"CHANGE" you can step in..... Have you chosen a candidate to support yet?
Nope, probably won't either...... My pet horny toad has fewer warts than they do...... I think this pretty much sums up my feelings about politicians nowadays...... "CHANGE" you can step in..... Looks like the Koch Brothers discovered whitepages.com....
I'll believe that a corporation is a person 1 second after Texas executes one...
Two payouts say otherwise.

And another woman is set to speak out today. We'll see. Even though nothing will matter to the baggers, it's the independents that the GOP has to worry about.

C'mon war..anyone who's been in business knows these accusations are weighed against the bottom line, and anyone who's worked in corporate America knows there are young women willing to exploit their sexuality to get ahead.
I just read that there is a fourth woman accusing Cain of sexual harassment and she'll have a press conference today at 1:30 p.m. - Gloria Allred is representing her. This should be fun. I wonder what she looks like.
#4 victim is going public with press conference in two hours. Drip, drip, drip... I remember when Tiger Woods was caught with his first bimbo and I thought well one indiscretion isn't such a terrible thing. And then the floodgates opened...
I've been on Wall Street for 26 years and have worked for only 4 firms, which, among the guys I work with is a record. Most of the brokers here have worked for 7 or 8 firms over the same amount of time. I've been here for 8 years and I'm a Senior guy now. Background given, I've seen over a dozen of these "accusations" over the years and 2 of them here. Not one has ever been frivolous. All of them "paid out" eventually and, in easily half the cases there were firings or "retirements". As for what women "use". They are smarter than us and they don't fight fair. The best advice then is "Don't shit or 'shit on' where you eat." What some of these guys do stuns me. For the two lawsuits alone that I have seen here, I've seen 100 potential. Women who are willing to "put out" are rarely the ones who sue, in my experiences. IN fact, I can only think of one and the heart of her allegation was that the the partner who was fucking her had promised her that he was leaving his wife for her. When he broke it off by firing her, she sued. She had cards, letters, phone records, everything. Men are stupid.

Tiger Cain is what we'll be calling him soon. That might be unfair to the women though, since all of Tiger's women were willing bimbos while Cain's were unwilling employees. This is still helping Cain, though, because it keeps things like his horrible performance at the "Lincoln-Douglas Debate" with Gingrich out of the news.

Don't dip your pen in the company ink - I remember my dad using that expression way back when.
Nothing at all if you take your political advice from Rush Limbaugh.

In the ultimate capitalist battle of management versus labor, it's the employers that get the perks. Cain was only taking what he felt was his right as a modern day slave owner.

She longs... for someone to Teabag her. a man that squats on top of a women's face and lowers his genitals into her mouth during sex, known as "teabagging" She aches for it"... ~~~JWpegler. Head Tea Bagger and Tea Party supporter extraordinaire, explicitly expressing his fantasies in public about other posters.
That helps explain why Limbaugh likes him. He wasn't the drug addict; it was that damn servant who procured all his drugs that was to blame.

He wasn't the drug addict; it was that damn servant who procured all his drugs that was to blame. Just like Rush used to blame the occasional honest caller that made it through on Snerdly or earlier to that 'Kit' Carson's inattention to detail. His whole enterprise is set up to take any responsibility away from himself for his own screw ups.

I still remember the day he came on at the end of the hour with the "news" that Hillary Clinton had a secret NY apartment and the Vince Foster's body had been moved from there. Of course, after the "break" and the news that the story was 100% bogus, el Tubo took no responsibility for reporting it, saying he was just repeating what he had heard.
