Herman Cain accuser bizarrely happy

You'd think someone revealing perhaps one of the worst & most traumatic events in their lifetime would be extremely nervous, emotional, and sad. But that's not what Herman Cain's latest accuser is -- she's happier than ever! Laughing, joking - even her attorney Gloria Allred was feeling chipper enough to drop one liners about Cain's 'stimulus package' during the presser. Is this the behavior of someone who is telling the truth? Ref. Source 1

Presidential candidate Herman Cain will receive protection from the U.S. Secret Service, a source in federal law enforcement and two other sources told CNN.

Cain will be the first candidate in the race for the Republican presidential nomination in the 2012 election cycle to be placed under the protection of the federal law enforcement agency. The reason was not yet clear.

While early, it is not unprecedented for the Secret Service to take over the security of a presidential candidate. In May 2007, then-Sen. Barack Obama, who was running for the Democratic nomination, was placed under Secret Service protection.

Herman Cain Reverses, Signs Pro-Life Pledge on Abortion

Herman Cain has reversed position and decided to sign a pro-life pledge on abortion a prominent pro-life group has had other Republican presidential hopefuls sign that Cain initially declined to attach his name to months ago.

Cain declined to sign the Susan B. Anthony List pledge in June, saying he couldn't do so because he can't "advance" any pro-life legislation as president, saying, at the time, "As president, I would sign it, but Congress must advance the legislation." The statement seemed somewhat nuanced to pro-life advocates in that while Cain, as president, couldn't "advance" pro-life legislation through Congress, he could undoubtedly use the power of the bully pulpit the presidency affords to persuade members of the House and Senate to advance the bill.

The SBA List informed LifeNews today that Cain has now signed the Pro-Life Presidential Leadership Pledge.

"This decision is consistent with the Herman Cain we have come to know," said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA List, about the pro-life presidential candidate. "He understands the wound abortion is to America and especially to the most vulnerable among us - people that Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger labeled "human weeds."

"We commend Mr. Cain for adding his name to the list of candidates who have signed the pledge, and should he be elected to the White House, we look forward to him leading the fight to protect women and unborn children." Ref. Source 5
