The reason it's been all over the news for nearly a week is because he started out denying it, then he kept changing the story, and then other people familiar with the situation started chiming in because of the inconsistencies.
So is the scandal that he found another woman attractive while married?
Or is it just that he found another woman attractive?

Is potential adultry, the scandal?

NONE of 'em!!

Having said that fact....Don't expect the next POTUSA to have any effect on improving the terrible situation America...and the world, is now faced with!
You are so so correct here....polititians really don't run the show anymore...banks do...

Third Woman Accuses Herman Cain Of Harassment; Witness Goes Public : It's All Politics : NPR

And you hope their every movement is brought to light? Every skeleton in their closet? You better hope you never have to accuse someone of sexual harassment.
They violated their non disclosure agreements to tell that something happened. they should not withhold the rest of the story because of the agreement they already violated.

Er, got any proof of that? If so, please cite.

For all you who call these "allegations", do remember that a monetary settlement of $35,000 was reached in one case.

That's the definition of allegation. That sum was reached out of court with both parties agreeing to that sum and the other terms.

They remained allegation as he was never proven guilty or found liable of anything.

But of course none of this matters unless the accuser is willing to come out and violate the agreement.

Right now she seems to be trying get get a better deal at this time than what they agreed previously. No doubt she's seeing more dollar signs.

Now she has the typical mindset of wanting her cake and eating it too and having a chef making her another in her newly bought kitchen.

Maybe she just doesn't want the whole sordid story all over the media.

She wants the sordid story all over the media but she doesn't want her name attached. That would be why she's appealing to the NRA to release the information but not her name.

I'd give it about 5.3 seconds after that that she starts anonymously probing for a tell-all with awards going to the highest bidder.

Hey, I could be wrong.

Maybe she's listening to and watching him lie all over the place about how it happened and she's getting pissed because she knows the real story.

He has changed his story so many times, I don't understand why anyone is giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Well then she shouldn't have accepted cash in exchange for her new found morals...

If she now wants to expose Cain then come out. Don't try to play the Wizard in our current weird little Oz we've found ourselves in...

But it was okay when Clinton got a little something from Lewinsky in the Oval Office.

Right?

Default Cain's Blame Game

Why can't Herman Cain keep his story straight about his history of sexual harassment? He's gone from denying knowing anything about it to remember exact details about the encounters, to now he's just saying it's all made up. He's gone from blaming liberals and the media, to Perry, and to Romney for the story getting leaked to the press. This whole turn of events highlights how Cain can't be trusted.
