Citizen Cain



The Herman Cain saga continues to get interesting by the hour. The Associated Press is now reporting that a third woman considered filing a workplace complaint against Cain over what she deemed aggressive and unwanted behavior when both worked together during the late 1990s, the woman told The Associated Press on Wednesday. 

The AP article states that the accuser said Cain's behavior included a private invitation to his corporate apartment.

Cain is of course denying any wrong doing, but at this point he's waffled and went back and forth so many times, that it's really hard to believe anything that he says. 

I think the real issue with Cain isn't that these alleged incidents happened years ago, but the fact that he initially denied the existence of  the complaints and now  keeps repeatedly changing his story. 

Look, everyone has skeletons in their closet and has been accused of doing something that they aren't particularly proud of. But to hide these accusations when you're questioned on them in such a public arena, in this day and age, is an invitation to court disaster. 

A little honesty would have gone a long way in securing confidence in this troubled time,  that many of Cain's supporters demonstrated during his recent surge in the polls.
