Politico: Two women accused Cain of inappropriate behavior in '90s

Politico is reporting that Herman Cain was accused of "inappropriate behavior" by two female employees while he led the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s. The Cain campaign denies the accusations. The association settled with the two women with five-figure settlements, Donald Trump is suggesting it did so to avoid even larger legal fees.

PJM's Roger L. Simon is calling it a "body blow" for Cain's campaign, but chides the mainstream media for taking its time in reporting the John Edwards affair with Rielle Hunter. But he also writes, "the goodfellas at Politico are letting the uppity black conservative have it."
