GOP pollster makes Herman Cain accusation
A veteran Republican pollster and former National Restaurant Association employee said Wednesday morning that Herman Cain sexually harassed a woman at an Arlington, Va., restaurant in the late 1990s.

Chris Wilson, now the principal of an Oklahoma-based GOP consulting firm, said in an interview on Oklahoma City's KTOK radio station that the episode took place in the neighborhood where Cain kept an apartment when he headed the restaurant trade group.

"This occurred at a restaurant in Crystal City (Virginia), and everybody was aware of it," Wilson said on the station. "It was only a matter of time because so many people were aware of what took place, so many people were aware of her situation, the fact she left — everybody knew with the campaign that this would eventually come up."

In an interview with POLITICO, Wilson said he was present for the episode and that it took place in the late '90s.

1. Herman was probably counting on it coming up.
It's doubtful he even wants to be president; he just wants to make millions pretending he does, the way Palin did. The last thing he wants is the GOP nomination.

He can sell tons more copies of his books, go on lecture circuits, become a paid analyst on Fox. The harrassment charges just make him more of hero with the Teabagger crowd.

The millions will just be rolling in.

5. Wilson is a Rick Perry supporter and does polling for a Super PAC that supports the Texas governor's
Perry supporter....I guess the kitty cat is out of the bag now. Of course this doesn't mean that Rove wasn't involved also.
