It was Cain who got the tears flowing.
The retired Georgia businessman, who noted that his wife of 43 years, Gloria, was with him, was overcome with emotion recalling the day he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
Luntz quietly interjected: “Take your time.”
“I said I wasn’t going to do this!” Cain said, light-heartedly berating himself.
He continued: “It’s as bad as it gets, I will never forget before my wife and I were about to get in the car I said, I can do this…”
Cain paused again. The audience was silent.
“She said, ‘We,’ ” Cain finished, and covered his face with his hand.
He removed his glasses and cleared his eyes with a handkerchief.
Later, Luntz asked Cain to share particular regret of his life.
“No one is perfect,” Cain answered. “And I believe that I have had a serious of little failures rather than one great big disaster.”
Cain, whose campaign has been dealing with a barrage of controversy when sexual harassment allegations leveled at him in the 1990s where unearthed earlier this fall, didn’t talk about those incidents, two of which ended in financial agreements
Instead he talked about another challenge of corporate life: time away from home.
“One little failure in my mind was, I didn’t believe that I was home enough when my kids were growing up,” Cain said.
Cain grew emotional again talking about the “the sacrifice I made to be able to climb those corporate ladders.”
“But my wife was that rock. She was that nucleus,” he said.

Thank you Guenevere, I couldn’t be polite therefore I wouldn’t post. The strength of his wife in the battle with Stage 4 liver cancer is remarkable and I must presume he is still here because the Lord wants him to be. He gave him a wife that stood by him in dire sickness. He evidently learned a life lesson that he needs to convey. It is time for us all to be Defending Mothers and Fathers of this great Constitutional Republic.

43 years of marriage says she's happy with her man.
and vice versa...
especially in today’s climate of kick him to the curb...
YES WE CAIN!
unfortunately some will see this as weakness, but love and appreciation of a good woman shows a man’s strength.
obama will be beaten with a cain and i pray the good lord keeps him in the race.

Mr. Cain's wife made her choice and stuck by the man she loves for over 40 years.
"No, Cain’s WIFE deserves better than a man who is a Clinton wannabe."
Your judgement concerning a matter that you have no knowledge of and quickness to believe a known and devious enemy of America proves you to be a total piece of $hit.
If you have it within you, you should feel the shame you deserve.
“and I must presume he is still here because the Lord wants him to be.”
He usually spares people that still have a mission to fulfill.
“He gave him a wife that stood by him in dire sickness.”
Yes, and he seems to appreciate her very much (IMO).
You sound like a frustrated ‘2-tons-of-fun’ liberal woman. So you believe Cain’s accusers do you sis? Based on what?
I got teary a few times watching this - the whole event was a wonderful exchange between good and decent people.
Cain is NOT a Clinton wannabe. Shame on you.
You’ll gain some of your reputation back if you apologize. It’ll be difficult, but worth it.
Go away. We like Cain here.
Did I miss a debate? Where was this event where they shared these poignant thoughts?
Let me guess. Newtie’s your guy.
“Cain called a secretary sweetie, so I’m switching to the
serial adulterer.”
yesterday
!
exactly!
it’s the most ludicrous thing I have ever heard of!
I found it, you are a Perry person. No need to slime Cain. Just remember that the purpose is to beat Obama in Nov. 12.
Perry was my second guess. :)
You are a disgrace to this forum.
