The woman in question was sacked for her job performance and received a stipend as a separation payment equaling 3 months pay. NBC, a left wing liberal company, will try to paint any conservative politician with the dirtiest brush they can find. Your writer of this article (note: not a journalist)does not even provide his name and credentials. Try including a balanced report which is what journalism is supposed to do. This is just spreading rumor - GARBAGE.

Laurabee cannot argue the point of Cain's sexual harrassment so we go back 50 yrs to the kennedy's and the hearsay that surrounde them as for Teddy he paid a political price for his indiscretions.Why not name the republican perverts over the same period you know!like the repub picking up boys in toilets or the other pervert picking up junior staff in the congressional dining room.Let those without sin--Laurabee.

Was Bill Clinton "Toast" after his BJ in the oval Office? Was he "Toast" after lying under oath? Was Ted Kennedy "Toast' after drowning a girl and swimming away? Was JFK "Toast" after sleeping with Marlyn Monroe? Was Alec Baldwin "Toast" after telling Sen. Henry Hyde that he wanted to stone him to death", "Then we would go to his house and we'd kill the family! Herman Cain will not be toast either. After all what exactly did he do? Make a gesture? Big Deal.

Well if we've really taken this to first grade level. I too bagel to differ and would imagine Senator Boehner might be more offended ! A very rye response Tom.if not too char-itable! Good to see you loafing around and giving them a good grilling, a very nicely sliced pan. Looking forward to the next comment some crouton might make along these breadlines, can only hope it gets butter. Rise up ye men of the yeast and crumble not aldough sour notes may follow, be ye not crust!

Cain has neither judicial or legislative experience - things the Repugs went after Obama over. Will a Republican out there explain why Obama was criticized over not having the right experience and not Cain? Is running a business all it takes to become President??

maryo137, come now, let's be grown-ups, shall we? Calling Cain toast, a racial slur! Not even close. Calling someone toast is akin to saying 'his goose is cooked,' or he's going to 'crash and burn,' or, to use a grisly expression by highway patrol officers at a fiery wreck, the driver was a 'crispy critter.' Nothing racial about it.

Calling Cain Toast would be taken as a racial slur if he were a Democrat, and it wouldn't even be in the news. As a Conservative who can beat Obama, he had to be stopped by any means, but this won't do it. I'm still voting for him. What passes for sexual harassament in America is a joke.

I'd agree with you there Tom, and it's a pity Ron Paul can't get a soundbite. He'd make a good Biden.

Herman Cain is toast whether or not these sexual harrassment allegations have any merit. He is not a serious candidate. He has no organization in place anywhere in the country and seems to have no interest in building this critical component of a serious presidential campaign. He is popular with various republican segments because he is seen as refreshingly new and untainted - attributes, which to the more observant, are viewed as those of an inexperienced, ignorant and profoundly incompetent amateur, definitely not ready for prime time. His 9-9-9 tax plan is not just a non-starter, it is ludicrous - but it's catchy, which is why the cerebrally challenged or lazy like it. Cain will soon become yesterday's news and the Republicans will, eventually and reluctantly, nominate Romney.
