A controversy has developed this week surrounding Politico’s allegations that Herman Cain was sued by two separate women for sexual harassment when he was head of the National Restaurant Association during the 1990s.  According to Politico, “The women complained of sexually suggestive behavior by Cain that made them angry and uncomfortable, the sources said, and they signed agreements with the restaurant group that gave them financial payouts to leave the association.  The agreements also included language that bars the women from talking about their departures.”

Politico called up the Cain campaign for comment, which were refused. So the questions persist.  What exactly did Cain do, if anything?  Did he engage in innuendo-filled conversations and ask sexually suggestive questions of the women?
