The reports are coming in that if anyone has the "fork" in them, it's the perpetrators of the smear because Cain is raising money despite the false allegations. BTW the reports were that Cain was loudly applauded last night when he denied the allegations again.
"Herman Cains campaign released fund-raising numbers showing that when it comes to the money race, the allegations of sexual harassment against the GOP presidential candidate havent hurt or helped.
The campaign said Thursday afternoon that it raised some $9 million since Oct. 1, 25% of which came in over the past 10 days when the accusations of sexual harassment were first reported. That indicates Mr. Cain collected some $2.25 million over the 10 days putting his fund-raising at the same rate as in October.
Mr. Cain has repeatedly said he was falsely accused, a defense many of his supporters appear to be accepting.
The campaigns numbers cannot be verified until next year, when the next round of campaign finance reports are due to the Federal Election Commission. It will be interesting to see how much money the campaign is spending on direct mail and telemarketing in order to raise money something most campaigns do.
This week, Mr. Cain quipped on ABCs Jimmy Kimmel Live that his fund-raising has improved since he began facing accusations of improper behavior.
When host Jimmy Kimmel asked if other candidates should hire people to charge them with sexual harassment, Mr. Cain, said, If theyre smart they will.
