The CAIN TRAIN keeps chugging towards 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

"Herman Cain says he hasn't yet faced his wife and family to discuss a woman's accusation of a 13-year extramarital affair."

Don't know about you, but there's something wrong with this picture.

It is simple, he has not talked to her in person yet, however, he has talked to her on the phone.

Lin Wood will be on CNN Piers Morgan, he is going over the money shakedown and the phone calls..

He says he hasn’t discussed this allegation with wife or family, but he’s discussed it in campaign meetings and conference calls. Nice.

Only Herman Cain has a chance to break the stranglehold democrats have on the black voting block. I have little doubt Herman can accomplish that. And that will make it near impossible for Zero to win 2nd term. Once you understand that it is easy to see why Bialek surfaced after 15 years, living in the same building as David Axelrod and frequenting the same gym.

As for the most recent Ms. White’s allegations , whether true or false, matters little since no crime has occurred. It is the message that counts, not the messenger. I have serious doubts about these allegation based on the background of the accuser, but even if true, it will matter so little in the future of this country.

IN PERSON. You think he hasn’t been on the phone with his wife?

No there’s not, he is talking about FACE TO FACE. He has had events in NH, Ohio, and Oklahoma - he heads home today. He has spoken to his family on the phone, obviously.

I stand corrected. He hasn’t discussed it with his wife or family ‘IN PERSON’.

He didn’t say that. Why would you think this?

Herman Cain has a campaign schedule he has to meet.

Pure Bull. Cain has stated many times that the day the story broke he talked to his wife about it, and stated he denied the allegation to her. He also has stated that his wife told him she believed him.

Gotta say, if it didn’t happen there would be no need for a “sitdown” with the wife. There’s some there there. Sadly I think Cain may be done, and I was going to vote for the guy.

Because he is a supporter of Newt Gingrich, and much like his candidate, his honor is only skin deep.

With many of these Newt supporters, anything, even non-issue, non-provable, and anything negative without factual evidence is fair game.

Anything to hurt a competitor to their candidate.

What's wrong? Are you reading this as in he has been hiding something from his wife? If so then I think you are falling for the deliberate spin by the author.

Read the story again with this in mind. He is on the road campaigning, so he hasn't "faced his wife" to discuss anything! Second, how can he discuss this accusation with his wife before the accuser made up the story? Do you expect Cain to discuss affairs that never happened with all women that he may know or had contact with that may at any moment make up a story about an affair with him? This story is a play on words and deliberately written to mislead the reader.

You know what they say about the word ASSUME, right?

Another perspective might be, he just want's to see what his wife's perspective is about staying in the race, and it has nothing to do about the validity of the charges, since he has already stated without any hesitation they are not true.

I may be the only person who has this picture in the back of my mind, but at least one person has it in their minds-eye.

Goria AlWeed is standing behind a podium with a picture of Herman Cain in her right hand shaking it up and down with a big snarl on her pus. “How can we as Americans allow this to happen to these innocents?”

On her left are two or three women. Then there’s a big line behind them that has young girls, a couple of young boys, a cow, a goat, a camel, a sheep, and two turtle-doves.

Standing about ten feet behind the turtle-doves, is Obama with a big “S”-eating grin on his face, with Soros, Ayers, Wright, and a sign with Obama’s face on it, with a caption, “Yes we can, and will!”

This guy can hang with domestic terrorists and damners of the U.S. Cain gets charged with something that even if it were true, would register less than 1/100th as important to the safety of our nation.

Obama got no vetting whatsoever. We may have an illegal alien as a president, but the media doesn’t give a hoot. “Let it rest, he’s black, he’s brilliant, we want him back.”

What’s actually quite funny, is that Cain has only been charged with affairs, and so it has cost him. We have another candidate who was proven to have had two affairs. This hasn’t hurt him at all.

We live in a wing-nut nation. Both sides have more than their fair share, that’s for sure.

Maybe someone in his family was not aware that Ginger White and Kimberly Vay were bisexual and they need to have family discussion about all those matters and what God's Word says about these things.

True or not, these types of charges cause a lot of pain and pressure on the family. Friends want to know the full scoop. Some of them won’t believe the truth even from the wife. Then there’s the kids.

If she remains strong and this doesn’t bother her, Cain can continue. If she has been worn down by this and is having a hard time, he’ll have to consider it heavily. No guy want’s his wife to live in misery.

I look at the history of these women, and am not impressed with their veracity. It’s not that hard to get someone’s private line, if you want it bad enough. Sometimes, if you work for the same organization, the paperwork falls right into your hands.

If the Cain family was helping this woman, it’s certain there was communication.

I’m just not buying the word of a woman who has been involved in so many negative situations prior to this.

Cain has a good rep. She doesn’t, yet she’s the one people believe. It’s a sad take on our society.
