Sometimes things fall apart

  I don't like people coming forward "anonymously." It's such a mean, uneven accusation to make. You want your anonymity, but you want to destroy someone else's reputation based on stuff you claim happened.
  That said, the latest claim is directly associated with a trusted source. (Not that someone is trusted simply because he's a conservative, but rather the "anonymous" person is obviously known but being protected by her boss. In addition, this incident seems more recent.)
  Once again, the complaints seem to center around a woman feeling "uncomfortable" for being complimented.
  At this point, it sure seems like the wheels are coming off the Herman Cain bus, which is a great disappointment.
  Politico:

POLITICO has learned that the incident involved a staffer for Steve Deace, an influential conservative talk radio host who hosts a nationally syndicated show in Des Moines. And Deace says he did take offense. 

Deace, who penned an opinion piece critical of Cain earlier this month, told POLITICO in an email that Cain said "awkward" and "inappropriate" things to the staff at his station. 

"Like awkward/inappropriate things he's said to two females on my staff, that the fact the guy's wife is never around...that's almost always a warning flag to me," Deace wrote. "But I chose to leave that stuff out [of the opinion piece] and make it about his record and not the personal stuff."

  This has been coming for a while. Ace said he's been hearing about it for about a month and that there are more women:

I  say this is a big question because I heard about this stuff a month ago, and I didn't hear about two incidences. I heard about many more.
I did not have detailed information, certainly nothing publishable. But I heard there was a long and numerous history here.

  But that:

The problem here is that I just don't consider all awkward moments a cause of action, but I know that some feminists do, and so does the media, at least when the alleged cause of the awkwardness has an R after his name.
If you're a Democrat, you can chat up sixteen year old girls on Twitter, no problem. 

I'm beginning to wonder if there's any there there. At some point this is going to have to get more serious or I'm going to need it to go away.
I have suspected this would become serious. I still sort of do. But if it's going to be this kind of a thing, these minor bits of social discomfort, well.

  Legal Insurrection has another perspective:

A good way to ruin a departing broker is to create customer complaints which go on the broker’s record and create hiring and licensing problems.  So what the firm does is start calling customers and asking questions like “were you happy with Joe,” or “did you have any problems with Joe,” or “did Joe ever make any transactions without calling you first,” and so on and so on.  Out of hundreds of clients, some percentage will be unhappy and start complaining, and then those complaints get entered into the system, and voilà, an otherwise clean broker now has 5-10 hits on his record, no one will hire him, and the regulators hold up his license transfer. 

And that pretty much is what Politico did to Herman Cain.  The original thinly attributed and fairly vague article was an attempt to smoke out people who had a gripe about Cain, to create complaints from people who never before complained. 

  Mark Block, Cain's campaign manager, is on FNC claiming that Rick Perry is at the bottom of all of it and needs to apologize to Cain. It seems awkward. Cain needs to be absolutely sure that Perry is at the bottom of it to be claiming this. Bret Baier says are you absolutely sure there's nothing to these allegations; Block says absolutely not. 
  We'll see how all this falls together. The Cain campaign seems pretty unprepared to handle the fallout.
  Somehow if this were a "D" all this would have been ignored.
  He's well-liked, but we'll see.
  But women ought to get it together and not take offense of every little thing.
