That would be ideal, wouldn't it? Much harder for Cain to counter with his blanket disavowals.
http://blogs.ajc.com/jay-bookman-blog/2011/11/08/cain-struggles-against-an-outgoing-tide/Another woman — one of the two to whom the National Restaurant Association had paid a settlement — has now been identified by name. She is Karen Kraushaar, and her credibility is more difficult to attack.
Kraushaar has begun, more reluctantly, to speak as well. “When you are being sexually harassed in the workplace, you are extremely vulnerable,” she now tells the New York Times. “You do whatever you can to quickly get yourself into a job some place safe and that is what I thought I had achieved when I left.”

Kraushaar and her husband are longtime Republicans. Cardona has told CNN that she hired Kraushaar directly from the National Restaturant Association, and that at the time, Kraushaar had thanked her for rescuing her from “a monster.”
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/08/a-second-accuser-goes-public-against-cain/?hpMs. Kraushaar had previously allowed her lawyer to challenge Mr. Cain’s denial that he had done anything wrong while at the helm of the restaurant association in the late 1990s. But after another woman, Sharon Bialek, went public on Monday and several news organizations published Ms. Kraushaar’s name on Tuesday, she said she had decided to talk publicly — at least in a limited way.
She said she did not know whether or how she might tell more of her story, but had been warming “to the idea of a joint press conference where all of the women would be together with our attorneys and all of this evidence would be considered together.”
She said of Mr. Cain: “These allegations can be considered together as a body of evidence.”
http://www.newspressnow.com/news/29715699/detail.htmlCNN contributor Maria Cardona, who hired Kraushaar at the Immigration and Naturalization Service after she the left the NRA, said that Kraushaar's "stomach is in knots."
"This has been heart wrenching for her, and still is," Cardona said.
One reason Kraushaar that has been reluctant to come forward publicly, she told Cardona, is that "she can't stomach forming the words to talk about what happened to her."
Kraushaar worked under Cardona at the INS and was sent to Miami to handle the media during coverage of the deportation of young Cuban immigrant Elian Gonzalez.
"Karen was the ideal employee," Cardona said. "In my opinion, her credibility is beyond reproach. She was the utmost professional, one of the hardest working individuals I have ever known ... the consummate team player."
