Politico Defends Cain Story By Touting Number Of "Twitter Mentions"
Watch Mika Allen's weak diversionary effort. (via Newsbusters)
JOE SCARBOROUGH, "Morning Joe" anchor: "Mike Allen, you had Cain defenders yesterday seizing upon a line that Politico wrote about gestures made by Cain toward these women that were, quote, non-sexual in nature. Just to confirm you have evidence as well of sexually inappropriate behavior?"
MIKE ALLEN, Politico: "What the women said was that he said things that made people feel uncomfortable in that way. This story clearly resonated with people. There's an estimate out there that this is the biggest single Twitter controversy of the campaign. 48,000 mentions of Herman Cain on Twitter yesterday. That's more than the mention of any Republican candidate ever."
