"Is anybody more likely to vote for Herman Cain as a result of these allegations? The answer is no,” said Phil Musser, a GOP strategist unaffiliated with any campaign.
And the timing is problematic for Cain, too, just two months before the Iowa caucuses and as Cain presumably should be seeking to close the deal with undecided caucus-goers in the state.
Cain denied all along that he made suggestive comments to female subordinates while serving as president of the National Restaurant Association.
Yet, over the past five days, he has given conflicting accounts about what, if anything, he knew about the alleged incidents as well as whether he knew about financial settlements two of his accusers reportedly received from the trade group.
He’s blamed the mainstream media, liberals and Perry’s campaign, which said it had nothing to do with it.
A black conservative, Cain has said his race has played a factor in the turmoil.
Friday, a lawyer for one of Cain’s accusers disclosed that she alleged “several incidents of sexual harassment” in a complaint filed more than a decade ago, a fresh accusation that complicated the Republican presidential hopeful’s determined bid to lay the politically explosive controversy to rest.
Cain must tell the National Restaurant Association to make public any information on the sexual harassment charges brought against him when he headed the group and free his accusers from any legal restraints barring them from speaking out, Republican strategist Karl Rove said.
