Herman Cain Launches ‘Women for Cain’ Website
Embattled GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain has launched a new website targeted at women, titled Women for Cain. This news follows more allegations of infidelity against Cain.
The NY Daily News reports that the site, which is run by his wife, Gloria Cain, features letters and emails from women who support her husband despite the latest allegations by a Georgia woman who claims she carried on a 13-year affair with Cain.
“Dear Mrs. Cain,” wrote one supporter from California, “Don’t pay attention to these pathetic husband-less women who are jealous of women like you in happy long-term marriages. These vindictive women can’t find a husband or keep one.”
Another fan from South Carolina wrote: “It’s pathetic and shameful women are so desperate for their five minutes of fame that they would position themselves against the greatest potential President Americans could be blessed enough to have.”
The website was launched a day after Cain set Monday as the deadline for making his decision to stay in the race for the White House. Cain had said he would “reassess” his candidacy after campaign donations began to decline.
Meanwhile Ginger White, the woman who alleges a 13-year affair with Cain, apologized Thursday to Cain’s wife for going public with the affair.

Mrs. Long blames “years of attacks in the media” for her abrupt decision to file for divorce yesterday (Dec. 1).
But in a new statement released this afternoon, Mrs. Long said,
“Upon prayerful reflection, I have reconsidered and plan to withdraw my petition for divorce from my husband, Bishop Eddie L. Long,” she said in an emailed statement bearing the New Birth logo. “I love my husband. I believe in him and admire his strength and courage.”
Yesterday, Mrs. Long appeared to give up on her marriage to the troubled leader of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church:
“After a great deal of deliberation and prayer, I have decided to terminate my marriage to Bishop Eddie L. Long. Accordingly, I authorized my attorneys to file for divorce on December 1, 2011.”
The divorce filing followed a tumultuous period for the Bishop, who, earlier this year, settled a sexual misconduct suit brought by 4 former Longfellow Youth Academy students, and a fifth man who was not included in the suit.
