Cain Dodges Harassment Questions at Hilton Mark Center Meeting

Presidential hopeful Herman Cain spoke at the annual meeting of Docs4PatientCare in Alexandria this morning, but he avoided questions about women who have accused him of sexual harassment.

Docs4patientcare is an organization that works to “preserve the good qualities of our healthcare system, address the problems, while preventing its bureaucratic destruction,” according to its website.

Cain’s speech at the Hilton Hotel on Seminary Road near the Mark Center was not open to the public.

At several points after Cain's speech, reporters asked Cain about allegations that he sexually harassed women when he led the National Restaurant Association.

Cain refused to answer questions, Politico reported, and he hosted just a three-minute press briefing before leaving for McLean.

In McLean, Cain spoke to a breakfast meeting of more than 400 gathered at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Tysons Corner sponsored by the Northern Virginia Technology Council.

McLean Patch will have a story Thursday morning about his appearance in McLean.
