MANCHESTER - Herman Cain acknowledged Thursday that he repeatedly gave Ginger White money to help her with "month-to-month bills and expenses" without telling his wife of more than 40 years.
In fact, the embattled presidential candidate said, his wife, Gloria, "did not know that we were friends until she (White) came out with this story" alleging that the two had a 13-year extramarital affair.

Cain also stated clearly for the first time that as a result of the constant controversy he has been facing, he is considering getting out of the presidential race.
Asked whether leaving the race is one of the options he is currently assessing, Cain said, “Yes, it is an option.” Regarding his decision, he said, "You will know by next week" as he takes the weekend to reassess where he stands in the campaign.

Honestly, I couldn’t care less.
Almost as stupid an idea as imposing a national sales tax on top of the income tax.
Awww. You maddy waddy?
“Not only didn’t his wife not know about the financial assistance, he said, but she also “did not know we were friends until she (White) came out with this story.”
I doesn’t matter how right Cain is on the issues if he’s untrustworthy. Cain’s major appeal for me was his supposed integrity and his Christian witness. That’s gone now.
Well, you certainly came out as a Bot of some sort pretty quick.
You should...
Yeah, it would be a bad idea if it wasn’t actually a tax cut.
I’m sure you will find someone without sin at some point.
Good luck with that.
I can imagine helping a female with expenses but I could never imagine doing it without my wife’s knowledge and agreement.
About whose a doctor? Um. No.
Good to know the troll meter still works.
Whoops - my bad. I thought you didn’t care about what Her-man’s wife thought about his “troubles”...
As I said the other day, there was something about this “accuser” that sounded ominous.
Stick a fork in Mr. Cain......he’s done.
I cannot imagine sending another woman for 13 years- I don’t care what the circumstances are, without telling my wife. This is a lie by omission.
We have seen in the past what we get when we have a leader who cannot even honor the trust between husband and wife. We don’t need another one.
So long Herman. We hardly knew you.

If Cain is really innocent, or even if he isn’t, I think he owes a whole lot of people a whole lot of money for taking donations under what is now appearing to be false pretenses.
If he wimps out, that is.

I have been married for 5 years. I can’t imagine doing that without my wife being involved no matter how much money I have.
So we have a group of candidates who have pretty messy personal lives.
Shame Palin didn’t run.
Palin / Bachmamm would have been epic. Those two are my favs.
