WASHINGTON (AP) — An Atlanta businesswoman who has asserted she had a longstanding affair with Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain stood by her story Wednesday despite his denials, saying she was not proud to admit it.
"Our relationship was on and off for the last 13, 14 years," Ginger White said in a nationally broadcast interview. "This was not a consistent love affair that went on every day for the last 14 years, so he is correct when he made that statement."
But White also said she was "disappointed" that Cain had called her a "troubled Atlanta businesswoman."

Welcome to the United Soviet States of America..where the Pravda State Media “vet” the candidates to the pleasure and needs of the RinoCrat UniParty.
This “election” will be a non-election...featuring the state approved “candidates”-whose only distinction is whether they are black or white.
What he told Neil was that he will decide by next week. I don’t like that answer.
Although I agree with you, I have to respect the man for putting his family first.
Remember that we have had two known first ladies who became hooked on substance abuse.
The Bush daughters hated it.
Life in the White House is brutal and you have to admire Cain for putting the vote up to the family.
Sure, they had the same kind of discussion before he started, but reality is so much more difficult than the dream. I doubt that they had any idea a year ago that it would be this rough.
I hope he will not quit, but I admire him for not dragging them where they don’t want to go.
Heh - the article says she only “asserted” that there was an affair and today is still “standing by her story.” That ‘assertion’ was national media interviews - why wouldn’t she “stand by her story” 24 hrs. later?
Every time the accusers make serious allegations and Cain responds, each one of them says they’re surprisingly (quote) “disappointed” in his response. Each one of the accusers waits for Cain to respond and deny, so they can claim he’s somehow attacking their character. It’s a predictable game - never about factual proof, but waiting for Cain’s response to use against him. These accusers are in lockstep - I just hope someone finds out who organized this setup.
Oh, wilco200, I hope you've got your flame retardant suit on. You are SO going to get flamed. The truth is not wanted here.
The fact that he was dropping like a rock, before the new allegations, following his disastrous debate performances shall not be acknowledged.
The fact that people are realizing we need someone with the knowledge and experience to hit the ground running, that this election is the most crucial and most dangerous of our lifetimes (and I'm a ole great granny) is being realized on an ever-widening scale.
We can't afford another vote for personality election.
Our new president has to be someone who can hit the ground running on Day One.
There is no time for a new president to 'get up to speed.'
"It's too late to get up to speed after you've been driven of the cliff." (mt)
Election 2008 was all about personality. It hasn't worked out too well.
Cain should be man enough to put his ego aside and step aside, take care of his current troubles and if he can clear his name, he lives to fight another day. If we lose this election, America may well not live - period.
If he continues to let these troubles commandeer the news cycles to the detriment of the campaign/election issues, then I lose respect for him daily. Ego has no place in this.

Thanks. :)
I agree with you. My first impression was that the negotiations for monetary compensation to keep quiet broke down and that is when she went public. IF the story is true. I’m not so sure that it is. I don’t know. She doesn’t seem to have much proof that this relationship occurred.
It’s either a) she’s lying and was paid to do this by either the opposition or the dems or b) she is telling the truth and blackmailing Cain and he told her no more “financial help” would be forthcoming. She may have gotten too greedy.
Good post #83.
And yet to this day ZERO PROOF of any and every claim against Cain that has been aired. ZERO PROOF.
If these women (shady characters all to begin with) and their political operative handlers had PROOF, they would set Cain up with his denial then -bam- provide the smoking gun. Yet that hasn’t happened. Not once.
The media has been digging and digging. They surely would have their hands on a damning text or phone recording by now and would air it - whether the accuser wanted them to or not. There would be no making the sordid accusations then hiding behind lawyers saying oh yeah we have proof and one of these days we’re gonna show it. Yup just you wait we have proof. Any day now...
With those stalker eyes the only evidence would be the family cat boiling on the stove.
Pray for Cain
If there was something to those text messages they would have been all over the MSM by now. I bet they show a platonic relationship.
She is doing it for money, that is ssfor sure. Is there nothing she would not do for money and by all reports she been doing it for years.
I cannot believe the airheads who believe this scummy bimbo!
She is a cow. Cain could have done much better if he wanted to. It is funny that the democrats could not find someone better to blackmail him with.
Well, there now. The Christian, non-judgmental all-knowing, all seeing wisdom of paperdoll has weighed in.
No need to opine further. It is now settled.
I really don't know. But is Cain actually conservative? His position on tarp didn't sound conservative to me. His position on quotas for hiring minorities does not sound conservative to me. His 9% national sales tax does not sound conservative to me. Without a record can we really decipher how he would govern? Is this election about personalities or policies? Who would he be able to recruit to help him serve us?
“The only good ginger is a dead ginger” General sheriden
So don’t vote for him and support your candidate but quit attacking FReepers.
Pray for Cain
Bull. Cain’s drop in polls is directly tied to the first wave of scandal which is still to this day totally unproven. Everyone who polls and anyone who is objective and honest (leaving you out) knows it.
That’s why you made sure to say the “latest” allegations then lamely try to say it was because of debates.
And lol you are losing respect for Cain. Can’t lose what you don’t have.
Nice try though shill as always
