“The federal government also impedes economic growth by interfering in the employer and employee relationship.” [Cain 2012, via @jonlovett]
“A new woman alleging sexual harassment by presidential hopeful Herman Cain[!] will break her silence at a news conference with her powerhouse attorney Gloria Allred Monday afternoon in New York City, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.”
“Herman Cain[!]’s wife, Gloria, will not be appearing on the Fox News Channel on Friday night after all, a person close to the talks told the Caucus.” [NYT]
Correction of the Day, from wingnut Pajamas Media: “A previous version of this story mentioned that a source witnessed Cain[!] and the woman entering a taxi together. This was incorrect. The previous version also mentioned that the woman awoke in Cain[!]’s bed — the source only claimed that the woman awoke in Cain[!]’s apartment. The previous version incorrectly attributed comments from one source to the other source.” [via Weigel]

Today’s Herman Cain! roundup…
POLITICO has learned that one of the women who accused Herman Cain[!] of sexual harassment at the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s received a payout of about $45,000 as part of her settlement – significantly more than the two or three months’ salary Cain[!] initially recalled the woman obtained.
“So yes, they’re a military threat. They’ve indicated that they’re trying to develop nuclear capability.” —Herman Cain!, laying out his foreign-policy credentials. China first tested nukes in 1964, and has 250 stockpiled. [ThinkProgress]
“During Herman Cain[!]’s tenure as the head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, at least two female employees complained to colleagues and senior association officials about inappropriate behavior by Cain[!], ultimately leaving their jobs at the trade group, multiple sources confirm to POLITICO.”
