New Herman Cain accuser to come forward with Gloria Allred
Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain pauses while speaking at the Congressional Health Caucus Thought Leaders Series, Nov. 2, 2011, on Capitol Hill in Washington.
/ APAnother woman alleging that Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain sexually harassed her in the 1990's will come forward today, according to her attorney Gloria Allred.
According to a press release from Allred, the woman charges that Cain harassed her during his tenure as chief executive of the National Restaurant Association (NRA), when she sought help from him with an employment issue.
The woman plans to make her allegations public at a press conference with Allred on Friday at 1:30 p.m. in New York City.
Allred's client would be the first of Cain's accusers to speak publicly about the charges. Already, three former NRA employees have reported that they were harassed by Cain at the restaurant lobbying group; two of the women filed formal complaints and reached settlement agreements with the NRA.
Allred is known for taking on high-profile clients. Last year, she represented Nicky Diaz Santillan, the housekeeper that California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman fired because of her immigration status.

It seems that most comments are being made by women-hating men who are more than slightly ignorgant.
After all, we should be more concerned about the Chinese developing nuclear weapons than this kind of dribble. Isn't that what Cain said?
Of course, most people are fully aware the Chinese have had nuclear capability since the 1960s.
The man is an idiot!
The man is ignorant and beligerant. But, then again, that is someone the majority of you making comments is just your kind of candidate.
