I will say a prayer for their marriage. 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. It doesn’t really MATTER that he didn’t have an affair with her, she well may be a liar. BUT if any spouse hides giving monthly payments to a person of the opposite sex for years and doesn’t tells his/or her spouse is in some serious trouble - the TRUST factor between the two is broken. I’ll pray for them but I believe he’s gone.

There really isn’t any reason to call it “hiding”, insomuch that he is known to give money to others in need, and not every one of them she was told of. If this is an issue, you’d hear it from Gloria...

I am afraid you are probably right. :^( This totally sucks. I am so sick of the media and the elitists picking the candidates. If this were the democrats, there would be a media blackout on all of this garbage—even with pictures and video. It makes me sick.

I will pray for the Cains, too.

I can easily envision a married man caring for another woman with his substance without telling his spouse. In fact, it would not surprise me if many men do this. It is precisely because he did not want his wife to doubt his loyalty that he quietly helped someone else. If anything I would think it strange for a man who cares for others - especially a man - 1.) to ask his wife's opinion about how or whether he should take care of someone else of the opposite sex, and 2.) to doubt his spouse would back him up if/when such a thing would come to light.

Come to think of it, a couple years ago I gave $20.00 to a young lady with whom I work; a single mother, younger than me, whom I admire, because she needed it for gas. I did not ask my wife's permission, and I have never told her. Were I Herman Cain, the amount may have been greater but the concept is the same.

I'm not going to let the implications of private decisions become fodder for public accusations. That's the business of people who like to fabricate dirt. I will have no part of that. Sorry.

Trust factor? Well, at least he will fit in well with politicians.
