point. i have been criticized by some members of the media that i changed my story. when the firestorm started a week ago monday i was presented with the accusation that some settlement was made. settlement to me means there were legal implications. later during that same day, i then recalled after all these years that there was an agreement. that is what businesses sign with employees who are departing the company. they call it an agreement. settlement implies legal implications. all of the potentially legal implications, ramifications or accusations were found to be baseless. wall street journal, still, mr. cain there are now a total of four women who have accused you of some form of sexual harassment. how do you explain that? are they making it up? is that possible? can you explain where you
and now herman cain in the court of public opinion has to respond not to admissible evidence. he has to respond to hearsay. he has to respond to rumors and speculation. he is not afforded the opportunity from me to cross examine his accusers. he is not afforded the safeguards that are part of our system of justice. but he comes before you today to defend his reputation. a reputation he has built over 40 years of bag good and decent man and a successful business person.
addressing the economy and addressing the kimberly: trying to do that. trying to address jobs and economy and the 9-9-9 plan. again, we said he raised $2 million in the last week. it s not significant in a serious presidential campaign but in the entire reporting period from june to september, $2.8 million. he almost matched bob: keep in mind when you are in a crisis like this, your base comes to you. it helps you financially. that is i m not surprised he raised that money. just remember he did. eric referenceed it. he did at one point accuse the perry campaign of doing this. then he walked it back the next day. he has been somewhat inconsistent on this. i think the person who benefits from any of these things the person with momentum, that is newt gingrich right now. i think in the end that herman cain will not get the nomination because he is tainted fairly or unfairly. by the way, i ll stop disciplining myself. i came close to swearing again. thanks for swear box.
out completely? kimberly: or does he tarnish the ticket? andrea: who does the support go to if he does lose? maybe newt gingrich. if you are so offended by the allegations do you go to newt gingrich or a squeaky clean conservative like rick santorum. greg: it s hard to go to newt from cain talking about personal character issues. andrea: it could be split. greg: it raises questions more about his organization, which i thought was refreshing he wasn t a politician. but the way it s been going, it makes you wonder. greg: that is the most serious thing you said. greg: i m out of jokes. eric: the rest of them the one i would like to hear from is michele bachmann to be honest and rick perry because there were accusations. i think they all did okay, let s move on. if they are smart they ll say let s get back to what matters. what is the economy doing? that is what will put g.o.p. right, a conservative and/or republican in office in 2012,
kimberly: or stuck someone with the bill for the wine. greg: that was offensive. for somebody who does come up to that height, for him to do that. bob: eric has his grassy knoll theory of the assassination. i know you will work on it. 40 years now but you will be there at some point. eric: no, but there are conspiracys and there are also bob: for the purpose of the family, can you clarify this andrea: let s move it forward. let s move this forward. does this help or hurt herman cain going forward? bob? bob: of course it hurts him. andrea: you don t think he can overcome this? bob: perhaps he can. but i think there is an effort here when he says there are other people coming he knows they re coming. kimberly: he raised money, which is good. bob: $2 million. that s nothing. kimberly: nevertheless it s significant when you compare it to what he was raising before. the criticism is he wasn t
