sharon alleges and told dr. zuckerman at the time that she had spoken to herman cain a number of times that week at the convention prior to that night. i think that dr. zuckerman's points are very important because not only does that totally contradict what herman cain said about not to knowing sharon bialek but it also shows that she indicated -- that he was very nice that night and that's why dr. zuckerman suggested that she go to meet with herman cain in washington because he thought that herman cain was the kind of man who would help her to find an employment opportunity in a million years he never thought and she never thought that herman cain would do what sharon alleges ultimately was done to her, the improper sexual advances, which she feels was like a sexual assault in that car. >> if i can also comment on the fact that when we called -- let me take that back. when i suggested that sharon call mr. cain to see if he could help her with employment, that employment was set up fairly rapidly. i can't imagin

is this woman sharon bialek out and out a liar? does she have a financial or other motivation? did she just make up these things from a to z, from alpha to omega or is herman cain saying look, i'm going to go for broke and deny it. clarence thomas denied it, the difference between clarence thomas is, obviously, he acknowledged he knew her and he hopes it will go away. >> the ball appears back in sharon bialek's court and gloria allred's court. is there more political danger out there for herman cain. if there is correspondence between herman cain and the latest accuser that they know each other? >> there has to be documentation. they didn't provide the names of the two people who signed affidavits. i think they probably have to come forward. hotel records, restaurant reservations and there is a way to track who is telling the truth. he went on national tv and said i don't know this woman. i racked my brain. i am going to say, tom, was astonished at that defense. i thought the defense was these episodes did not occur. he's saying that the dinner, the driving around, and that the
