Herman Cain at 5 to 1 Odds Despite Sharon Bialek Accusations

Following accusations made by Sharon Bialek of Herman Cain’s alleged “sexual improprieties” during the 1990s while she was employed with the National Restaurant Association, Cain’s odds of getting the GOP nomination remained above that of both Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich late Monday.  He was listed at 5/1 odds at Sportsbook.com.

Standing along side her famed attorney, Gloria Allred, Bialek became the first accuser to go public with her accusations.  The Cain campaign called them “baseless”. 

"I want you, Mr. Cain, to come clean," she said, claiming he had reached up her skirt then pushed her head towards his crotch during a dinner meeting.

Bialek does not plan to sell her story or file a lawsuit against the Republican candidate for the White House.

"Just admit what you did. Admit you were inappropriate to people. And then move forward. America is in a horrible turmoil as we all know. We need a leader who can set an example which exemplifies the standards of a good person and moral character. Mr. Cain, I implore you, make this right. So that you and the country can move forward and focus on the real issues at hand," Bialek said.

A statement was quickly released by the Cain campaign:

"Activist celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred is bringing forth more false accusations against the character of Republican front-runner Herman Cain," the campaign said in a prepared statement.

"All allegations of harassment against Mr. Cain are completely false. Mr. Cain has never harassed anyone," the statement said.
