Herman Cain’s campaign run imploding
“We think there has to be a solid conservative alternative to Mitt Romney,” Gingrich said Monday.
The latest embarrassing claim against Cain erupted Monday when 46-year-old Ginger White said she and Cain, who is married, had a 13-year affair that ended shortly before he began his run for the nomination.
“It was fun,” said White, as she described in an interview with an Atlanta, Georgia television station how Cain had bought her plane tickets for a rendezvous in Palm Springs, California. “It was something that took me away from my sort of humdrum life at the time. And it was exciting.”
In her interview, White said she decided to come forward after seeing Cain attack his other accusers in an appearance on television.
White told the Atlanta TV station she expects to be scrutinized by Cain and the media.
Georgia court records show a series of judgments against White for not paying rent in Atlanta-area apartments, including one filed about two weeks ago. She also faced a libel suit as part of a larger business dispute with a former business partner.
