The Cain campaign is flailing desperately. The latest example?
Herman Cain campaign manager Mark Block, in an appearance with Sean Hannity on Fox News just now, insisted that a relative of the second woman to publicly accuse the candidate of sexual harassment in the 1990s works at POLITICO.
Character assassination is their only hope. As more and more accusers emerge, the Cain campaign's response is growing ever more pathetic and scattershot. Hannity says the second accuser's son works for Politico. Block says he confirmed that as fact.
Block appeared to be referring to former POLITICO reporter Josh Kraushaar, who left for another outlet, National Journal, in 2010.
Sounds bad. Politico broke the story of Cain's history of alleged sexual harassment. Now Block seems to be suggesting that both their and one accuser's credibility are compromised.
Josh Kraushaar tweeted earlier in the day, apparently after getting questions, that he's in fact not related to Karen Kraushaar, and simply has the same last name.
Ouch.
