"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."
Cain gave his side of the story on CNN earlier tonight:
Cain's attorney is Lin Wood. He wrote the following message to the television station in Atlanta that is breaking this story:
"Mr. Cain has been informed today that your television station plans to broadcast a story this evening in which a female will make an accusation that she engaged in a 13-year long physical relationship with Mr. Cain. This is not an accusation of harassment in the workplace – this is not an accusation of an assault – which are subject matters of legitimate inquiry to a political candidate.Doesn't it seem like Cain's attorney is confirming that an affair took place?
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. The public’s right to know and the media’s right to report has boundaries and most certainly those boundaries end outside of one’s bedroom door.
Mr. Cain has alerted his wife to this new accusation and discussed it with her. He has no obligation to discuss these types of accusations publicly with the media and he will not do so even if his principled position is viewed unfavorably by members of the media."

Just wondering... I saw the story here on FOX 5 in Atlanta. Are we sure that this is Jungle Love?Understand that I am from New Orleans, and I have relatives on both sides of my family that look like her, and they are NOT White.
CCGroovy - I don't have a copy of her birth certificate or anything like that ... but, the word on Twitter and elsewhere is that she's a white woman.
How long, just how long do you think he's gonna stay in this race before he decides that he needs to "spend more time with his family"?
CCGroovy - The Iowa primary is about 34 days away. I don't think that Cain survives to be part of that process. I think that Mrs. Cain is going to explain the facts of life to Herman and that he will be leaving the presidential campaign trail within the next week.
Ginger White looks like a light-skinned black woman to me and her cadence is also a give-a-way.
My heart is with Mrs. Cain. A woman living with a man for 43 years whose attendance at a lot of his work related affairs were non-existent; has an inkling or knows what's going on.
He didn't share this 13 yr. relationship with this FRIEND because he knew he was wrong and he certainly wouldn't have tolerated that behavior from her.
This is a man, a so-called minister who can look one in the eye and "unequivocally" lie and change his story nth times. Please...he's not the man she thought he was and this may only be the tip of iceberg. No telling what else has been going on over the years that hasn't been exposed.
@CCGroovy...It's a little late for him to realize that he needs to "spend more time with his family".
A woman who has some self-esteem and integrity wouldn't want to spend time with someone of his character.
She should move on as she's still an attractive woman whom a lot of widowed and single men would like to make happy. If that's not her cup of tea..she can embark on goals and interests that she may have given up due to her marriage.
The children aren't in the home now and have families of their own. It's not like the old days anymore. Its "never too late" for Mrs. Cain.
Carolyn - It should be a difficult face-to-face discussion between Herman and Carol Cain today. I just don't see how Cain continues to run ... although I seem to recall that John Edwards continued to run for president in 2008 even though his love affair (and love child) were exposed by the media. In fact, he hoped to get Obama to select him as attorney general, if not vice president, during the period of time that he knew his secrets were coming out.
You can never underestimate the delusional nature of self-centered politicians.
