Here’s what we learned from Herman Cain’s appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last night: sexual harassment allegations can be funny and the elusive Mrs. Cain is, in fact, a Democrat.
“My wife is a Democrat, but that doesn’t mean that’s how she votes all the time,” Cain told Kimmel.
Not much is known about Gloria Cain, the Republican presidential frontrunner’s wife of 43 years. We were supposed to meet her recently, but the Cain campaign abruptly canceled a planned appearance on Fox News. Last week, the Atlanta Journal Constitution profiled Gloria Cain and discovered that not only is she a Democrat, but that she “has voted in Democratic primaries and runoffs numerous times since 2000 — including the 2008 presidential primary that Barack Obama won with 66 percent of the vote, according to local voting records.”

Thumbs up.
ALWAYS....ALWAYS look at the Spouse....they have TREMENDOUS sway over the candidate/politician and what they do and how they vote!!! NEVER vote for someone who has a Democrat spouse like I believe Laura Bush is......moderate maybe, but STILL a Democrat.
No thanks, I heard the same nonsense in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008.
Have no desire to repeated the same mistake yet again in 2012 with the next GOP old boy's club member.
Teresa Heinz Kerry was ONLY a Republican because of her first husband. She is a RABID DEMOCRAT....she’s LOONEY as a goose also. Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.
Laura Bush is.
Not really, old sschool democrats, think Zell Miller and his type, were patriotic fiscally disciplined. Its only a recent phenom, Ted Kennedy, which have gone completely off the rails.
Big Deal! I came from a whole family of Democrats who among hundreds of thousands of others voted for Reagan, and in time all became solid Republican. In 2012 I would welcome as many Democrats we can get to our side, just like in 1980.
One of those two are frauds.
Heavens no, this must mean Cain is a sellout or something. Why are politicians held accountable for the actions of other people?
“Newt also supports the dream act and was all in for TARP. “
He also supports allowing some of the Illegals to stay and become legalized.
...but who cares now, because a handful of pitiful bimbos are going after Cain.
Newt Gingrich partnered with Hillary Clinton on Healthcare in 2006.
Newt has not kept his vows to two wives, by his own admission. How can we trust him to keep his vows of "conservatism" to us?
Whatever.
He’s the very best candidate from a governing standpoint.
That is pretty disingenuous.
Ever seen what happens to black who aren’t democrats?
Just look at her husband.
Can’t say I blame her one bit.
Who needs that crap?
I wouldn't say it's the ideal situation but if they play it up enough then it's going to take support away from Obama...and Romney!

But sadly pretty close to the truth.
No, I had no idea about her heart condition. I googled it and you were right, Cain said she has an implanted heart device. So that would explain her lack of being actively involved in her huband’s campaign.
But she is not incapacitated, she sings in the church choir, that takes stamina too. But she was not at a single event Cain had, except I understand when he first announced.

“Though she has worked as a teacher and a librarian, Cain says his wife — who sings in the choir at Antioch Baptist Church North in Atlanta — has been a homemaker for most of their marriage.
“Throughout our life together, she has been primarily the person who has taken care of the home because I moved around a lot,” he said.
Cain — who is expected to formally announce his bid for president Saturday at an Atlanta rally — said she’ll appear “selectively with me at certain times as it relates to this campaign.” He also said she has an implanted heart device, which cuts down on the stamina she may have to stump across the country.”
But it doesn’t explain her being a Democrat.
