ATLANTA -- Herman Cain on Monday pre-emptively denied a forthcoming accusation by a woman who is expected to say she had a 13-year affair with the Republican presidential candidate.
In an apparent effort to get ahead of the story, Cain appeared in a cable news interview to say the woman is "someone who I know, who is an acquaintance, who I thought was a friend."
MyFoxAtlanta.com released some details of the story, which is scheduled to air Monday night, shortly after Cain appeared on CNN -- identifying the accuser as an Atlanta businesswoman named Ginger White.
"It was pretty simple," White told the station. "It wasn't complicated. I was aware that he was married. And I was also aware I was involved in a very inappropriate situation, relationship."

Accusers of what? ZERO proven accusations of anything illegal or beyond private. Way to lump them all in together
Did she produce the blue dress?
I think he is done now... sad to see this. It doesn’t matter if I believe the lady or not... if true, he has a lot of fences to mend at home. If not, well... I think he has a lot of fences to mend at home.
I wish I could say this event was in response to anything, but I don’t think it’s a strategery by anyone to have this woman come forward. It’s just an event percolating out of the subculture, like Lady Gaga pulling down her pants to take a sh*t on stage.
Will Cain survive this? Possibly. Hopefully.
If I were him, I would feel like “yeah don’t vote for me if you don’t like my “so-called-foggy foreign policy”, but please let me die with my boots on and smoke my last cigarrette rather than being taken out by *this*.”
I say he can come back from this if he can prove that she's lying. I also say that he's smart enough to know that he is done if she can prove that she's telling the truth. That's why is quick denial tells me that she is lying or he knows that she has no proof.
With Gingrich tanking, they must have felt the need to bring up this non-story. An alleged affair. Which by the way is not a crime last time I checked. And its irrelevant to Cain’s candidacy because it doesn’t shed light on what he may or may not have done. But it does tell us about how far the media is willing to go to destroy a man and his reputation... on the mere word of a floozy!
So he allegedly treated this woman great for 13 years by her own claims, but we are supposed to believe he tries to rape women in cars and harasses them at work?
yes, some one is going through a Herculean effort to snuff of Cain candidacy. Is this new woman a democrat voter? Any connection with David Axelrod, to go along the previous two?
Agreed...without proof she will never be believed by Cain supporters...and a 13 year affair leaves proof...but my guess is...she does have proof...and she will bring it out in due time.
That much is obvious, and I am probably alone in thinking that the person behind it all is Obama himself.
This just does not strike me as the kind of dirty tricks thing that Republicans would do. For one thing, it’s tawdry, tacky and very low class. For another, there is too much of a chance that the MSM would trace the leak back and use it to slam whichever Republican leaked it.
OTOH, Chicago thug politics rules in this administration and regardless of how the rest of the country perceives Cain, I think he is the candidate that scares Obama the worst.
The race card has always been his ultimate “never-fail” trump. He’s always been able to use it to his advantage to get things he knows damn well he does not deserve. The worst nightmare he has — one that would definitely cause sleepless nights — is finding himself in a one-on-one debate against Cain.
Hope yer right.
FEAR your JOKING right.
He is a miserable womanizer. But hey if a white guy can turn the WH into a Whorehouse. Why not a Blackman?
I can just hear the documentaries in the future. The Republican Party after decades of ridiculing Bill clintons many affairs and criminal sexual behavour, nominates a man that has the very same sexual resume.
Maybe some of you should stop trying to COMPETE with the Dummies as to how LOW you can drag this country and do a check up on the Character requirements for a President.
You can try to bad mouth this woman all you want. But remember CAIN PICKED HER. Bet his wife doesn’t take this so lightly.
Sad, but true. If Cain goes down, who gets the biggest bounce - Perry or Gingrich?
Good point. Supposedly, he lived with another woman for 13 years and no one knew about it until now. And we’re supposed to believe liberals’ claims that he hated women enough to create a hostile work environment for them. It doesn’t add up!
Another bimbo - ho hummmmm.
She’s a cocktail waitress at an off airport lounge for crying out loud.

During Special Report, I thought I heard them mention that Ms White had a litigious history and had won a sexual harassment suit — tho it wasnt with Cain.
I heard on Fox that she says she does have late night messages - don’t know if they are phone or email. If she’s got them, suppose they will appear.
It takes a staggering amount of narcissism and arrogance for someone to run for president of the United States with this much baggage. He must think he is too big to fail.
