There’ve been some tenuous signs of improvement in President Obama’s polling numbers of late. But a new poll out this morning from Quinnipiac shows the President gaining ground on all fronts with a jobs message that appears to be taking hold.

Well, it turns out that the Times has confirmed that Herman Cain’s then-employer, the National Restaurant Association (he was CEO), paid out $35,000 (one year’s salary) to a woman who accused him of sexual harassment. But is apparently not the one woman who is asking the NRA and Cain to release her from her confidentiality agreement so that she can tell everybody exactly what it is she said Cain did. Which would obviously be great for Cain’s campaign at this point.
