New (Fourth) Cain Accuser: He put his hand under her skirt "toward my genitals." AND....

Cain faces new claim of sexual misconduct

Washington (CNN) -- GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain faced a new claim of sexually inappropriate behavior Monday as a Chicago woman told reporters the former head of the National Restaurant Association groped her after a dinner together in 1997.

Sharon Bialek, who worked at the restaurant group's education foundation until shortly before the alleged groping incident, said Cain unexpectedly put his hand on her leg beneath her skirt "toward my genitals." She also said he pushed her head toward his crotch.

Cain stopped when she protested, Bialek told a news conference.

Looking into the television cameras, Bialek said: "I want you, Mr. Cain, to come clean. Just admit what you did."

5. I have a big problem with that.

My "Horror' reference was to the implications to the campaign of someone who allegedly did this.
Again...we don't know the facts yet...this can very well be an internal Rove attack.

7. When there were just two, I knew there would be more

People who sexually harass women don't stop at one or two. It's a power thing as much as it's a sexual thing with them.

I have no doubt there are many more and perhaps dozens. Most of them will probably never say anything to anyone about it.

I'm surprised his wife is still behind him. I suspect at some point she won't be. Deep down she knows the allegations are true.
