Lawyer: 4th woman to accuse Herman Cain
Attorney Gloria Allred is holding a news conference today with a woman who claims she was sexually harassed by GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain.

In a news release sent out by Allred, the woman allegedly sought Cain's help on an employment issue when he was head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s. Allred said her client is not one of the three women mentioned in news reports about the scandal, which has roiled Cain's campaign.

Cain has repeatedly said he has been falsely accused of sexual harassment. He said this weekend that he's done talking about the issue and wants his campaign to get back on message.

Allred is noted for representing women in high-profile incidents. The New York Times once described Allred as "a feminist avenging crusader or a deluxe ambulance chaser catching a ride on the latest tabloid scandal."

The news conference, first reported by RadarOnline, is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET in New York City.

1. It's a conspiracy, I tells ya!
Even though KochCain will be the first to claim that racism is dead & buried in the good ol' US of A, I expect his handlers will suggest exactly that in the near future.

2. Does anyone ever say yes to him? No accounts of affairs, just harassing.
Maybe he just says offensive things?

4. He Would Have Been Better Off Hiring Escorts
But I am sure there is a power component to his aberrant sexual behavior.

3. Herman Cain: "It's not harassment. It's a sexual advance you can't refuse."

5. He was just joking around.
Can't a boss joke around with the female employees?

7. I wonder if this one will be specific.
So far the other three have not said exactly what was done or said.

9. Cain wants to get back on message?
Just what is his message? Pokemon uber alles? I saw that ultra bizarre TV ad (the last one) he made with a cowboy in it and I'd like to know what the political message was.

11. A few days ago I thought, "This smells like the type of thing where Gloria Allred will
eventually be involved." Whenever she shows up, you know it's a "big f'in' deal" as Biden would say.
