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."

He made it very intriguing, White told FOX 5. It was fun. It was something that took me away from my humdrum life at the time. And it was exciting.
She says he gave her his newly-published book, Leadership is Common Sense, and he wrote: Miss G, you have already made a ‘big difference! Stay focused as you pursue your next destination.”
She says during the next 13 years, he would fly her to cities where he was speaking and he lavished her with gifts. She says they often stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Buckhead and dined at The Four Seasons restaurant. She says he never harassed her, never treated her poorly, and was the same man you see on the campaign trail.
Very much the same, very much confident, very much sure of himself, White said, describing Cain. Very arrogant in a playful sometimes way. Very, ah — Herman Cain loves Herman Cain.
When his new book, CEO of SELF, came out in 2001, she says Cain once again autographed it for her writing, “Friends are forever! Everything else is a bonus.”
When asked if it was fair to say the relationship is going on even now, White said, I think it is safe to say that after this interview, that will be the end of it. Yes, we have a friendship now.
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.

Yeah right. But as he said in 2001,”everything else is a bonus” (snickering)
Was it in a baskin robbins?
trailer parks and occupy wall street rallies.
If I didn't know she was a chick, I would have to say a Tranny convention. She looks like a truck driver in drag.
Which part of the Regime? Obama and the Dems or the GOP establishment? In terms of “up the sleeve”, if this latest story proves true then Cain has to be the biggest horse’s behind of 21st century politics. After the demise of both Dems and Republicans in recent years concerning a multitidue of sexual adventures, how could anyone running for President in 2011 believe they could keep this kind of stuff under wraps? Whether it is a lover scorned or political enemies, this stuff always comes to the surface. This is a list from just the past 5 years and I’m sure I’ve missed some:
David Wu (D-OR)
Anthony Weiner (D-NY)
Chris Lee, Representative (R-NY)
Mark Souder, (R-IN)
Eric Massa (D-NY)
Chip Pickering, (R-MS)
John Ensign Senator (R-NV)
John Edwards, Senator (D-NC)
Vito Fossella, Representative (R-NY)
Tim Mahoney, Representative (D-FL)
David Vitter, Senator (R-LA)
Larry Craig, Senator (R-ID)
Mark Foley, Representative (R-FL)
James Carville has been dragging a $100 bill through a trailer park again?
I had an affair with the front runner, whoever that is this week. ;)
“I think it is safe to say that after this interview, that will be the end of it. Yes, we have a friendship now.
So let me get this straight. This woman thinks that Cain will be friends with her even after she’s done this?
She’s cookoo for cocoa puffs. Seriously?
Rather, this appears to be an accusation of private, alleged consensual conduct between adults a subject matter which is not a proper subject of inquiry by the media or the public. No individual, whether a private citizen, a candidate for public office or a public official, should be questioned about his or her private sexual life
If Cain did not do it, he should fire his lawyer.
1 accuser = publicity stunt
2 accusers = copycat
3 accusers = dirty tricks
4 accusers = smoke
5 accusers = fire
“...and as late as 7:52 at night”
O M G, that is really close to 8:00pm.
time so send in more $$$ to Cain
This is so freaking laughable, it's so obvious who they are afraid of, heck they are TERRIFIED of Herman Cain.
5 accusers = time to donate time and money to the Cain campaign.
So what? Even if everything she alleges is true, this is sleazy. Not so much the affair but spilling the beans to hurt someone you love. I dare say this tells us more about Ms. White than it does about Cain.
By contrast, just LOOK at the way the whole media rises up to reject charges by LARRY SINCLAIRE:

They’re virtually spitting at him, in his press conference: “WHY did you wait all this time..!!?!!”
The contrast is amazing.
I caught that too, snickering here also. He does have a way with words alright.
Lin Wood is the best of the best at this game. He is a very heavy hitter. If this is the line he is selling, there has to be a reason.
She looks like Ralph Kramden without the bus driver uniform.
