Sex Scandal, Herman Cain | featured news

Herman Cain told members of his campaign staff on Tuesday that he was reassessing whether to proceed with his presidential campaign, an aide confirmed, a day after an Atlanta woman disclosed details of what she said was a 13-year affair with him... Mr. Cain denied the accusations from the Atlanta woman, Ginger White. But he acknowledged that the latest report of sexual misconduct might be more difficult to overcome, considering that the first voting is set to take place in five weeks at the Iowa caucuses. He said that he had not lost his enthusiasm to run, but suggested it was a distraction that could be difficult to recover from.

A new woman alleged a 13-year-old affair with Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain on Monday, prompting the former Godfather's Pizza CEO to issue fresh denials of any wrongdoing.

After repeatedly declaring this weekend that he was going to completely ignore the sexual allegations swirling around him, Herman Cain has reversed tactics once again, scheduling a news conference for Tuesday evening and promising to take the latest accusations “head on.”

The lawyer for one of the two women who accused Herman Cain of sexual harassment said Tuesday that she wanted to come forward but was bound by a confidentiality agreement with the National Restaurant Association.

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain's visit to Washington this week was supposed to reassure the nation's rule makers that he's ready for national office. Instead, he's struggling to manage a sexual harassment report and show that he can manage a crisis.
