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."

And let’s not forget Newt, the stellar of moral fiber that he is!
Not if they are trying to steer lesser candidates to the top for a nomination win. Obummer and the Chicago machine would be giddy high to have Mittens as their opponent. It would split the base and he is a weak 25% candidate.
Get ready to see stuff on "Wall Street Romney" nonstop if he wins. The Occupy drones will eat it up. Cain would be a much harder sell on being a greedy Capitalist, which is where the Regime is going to take this election.
Newt seems to be doing ok on that front. ;)
IF, and a big IF at that.
Let me guess: someone paid Ms. White to come forward and its just a coincidence that like Ms. Bialek, she is unemployed and has kids to support.
Yeah sure and I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you!
Fake but accurate.
Cain is not going to win the nomination. These stories now amount to kicking a dead horse. It has become apparent that Herman doesn't have the policy knowledge for the job anyway. That alone has been sinking him, not the bimbo eruptions.
Thank you for your sane words. The Cainiacs are truly nuts to think he is still a viable candidate and should get the vote.
I agree, and Cain's lawyer is one of the best. The lawyer is pretty much admitting it. Cain is toast.
Wake up. From the article.
“She says the physical relationship ended about eight months ago, right before Cain announced he was running for president. But the communication did not. When we asked for any corroborating evidence, she pointed us to her cell phone contacts. One name: Herman Cain.
She showed us some of her cell phone bills that included 61 phone calls or text messages to or from a number starting with 678. She says it is Herman Cain’s private cell phone. The calls were made during four different months— calls or texts made as early as 4:26 in the early morning, and as late as 7:52 at night. The latest were in September of this year.
“We’ve never worked together,” said White. “And I can’t imagine someone phoning or texting me for the last two and a half years, just because.”
We texted the number and Herman Cain called us back. He told us he “knew Ginger White” but said these are “more false allegations.” He said she had his number because he was “trying to help her financially.”
I’d wonder if he can explain all of that to his wife.
I really don’t care about who he sleeps with, but too many cainiacs can’t stop blasting Newt for his affairs.
Oh and what they will vote for Gingrich a notorious cheater?
If Cain goes down, then Obama gets another 4 years.
Gingrich does not appeal to the Independents. Plus the media and press have a lot on Gingrich and Romney.
My guess is that if Romney or Gingrich get the nomination, then you will see a third Party candidate.
Info coming out about Ginger White:
She has a court order against her for threatening to sue a fellow business women for defamation of character and for harassing the business woman with phone calls and text messages. The only records that this woman has are phone records where she called Herman Cain’s phone 60+ times in the past year or so. This woman was evicted two weeks ago and is a single mother of two.
“it has nothing to to with the lack of facts. it’s the seriousness of the charges!”
IF it is true... I’m not making light of adultery but consider if this was true, Cain’s wife would have divorced him years ago. A woman usually knows if a man is having an affair. This is not something you can hide from the wife and kids.
phleeeze FR is the Hermy Cain web site. Only pro Cain articles get sidebar. Newt and Cain are the only ones the mods give that honor to.
The Cain supporters are nasty and just as vile as their candidate.
To claim there was no relationship when CAIN told the station he was trying to help her FINANCIALLY..(ofcourse maybe his payoff to keep her mouth shut was to low)
I mean really he thinks the American people are FOOLS.
Oh, and way to slam Jim and the mods while you're at it.
“To claim there was no relationship when CAIN told the station he was trying to help her FINANCIALLY”
That’s not evidence of an affair, sorry. :)
Reasonable doubt would infer that they did know each other and kept in touch, but this isn’t sufficient evidence to show that he did, in fact, commit adultery.
Given that it’s been 13 years, makes me question why now? Why not earlier? He did run in GA. This raises reasonable doubt that the relationship such as it was was anything more than friendship.
Sorry marty, this dog won’t hunt.
Other than the middle of the night phone records you mean?
