Predictions

Background

With his chances for winning the GOP nomination sliding by the day, Herman Cain’s team today launched a “ Women for Cain” campaign, chaired by his wife Gloria, in what appears to be a last-ditch effort to salvage his candidacy.
The embattled candidate said this afternoon that he’s going to make an announcement Saturday to “clarify” what his next steps are. He made the comments moments after his spokesman JD Gordon told ABC News that Cain has no plans to announce the result of his “reassessment” Saturday, but that “things change hour by hour.”

Cain heads back to Georgia this weekend to discuss the direction of his campaign with his wife. The two will meet in person for the first time since businesswoman Ginger White came forward with allegations of an affair.

Unlike other candidates’ spouses, Cain’s wife of 43 years has rarely been seen on the campaign trail. The only time she publicly appeared by his side was when he announced his candidacy in May, in a Fox News interview to defend her husband against allegations of sexual harassment, and then at a Thanksgiving forum in Des Moines.

But today, the embattled candidate’s campaign announced that she’s heading a “Women for Cain” campaign, described on its Web site as “an online national fellowship of women dedicated to helping elect Herman Cain as the next President of the United States.”

The Web site features testimonials from women around the country touting Cain and his policies and assailing White, who says she had a 13-year long “on-and-off” affair with Cain.

There is, however, no testimonial from or video of Cain’s wife, except this reference: “Gloria Cain is the National Chairperson for ‘Women for Cain’ and is the very special woman who Mr. Cain devoted his life to many years ago.”

I didn't believe any of those stories. you can be as pure as the driven snow. They will still make up stories or exaggerate minor stories to make some voters back off.

I can't afford a woman on the side however i do have Skeleton in my closet if i race for office i would put all my cards skeletons on the table or the Democrats & Republicans both had they hands in the Herman Cain Skeleton closet and when you start pulling out Snow White (Ginger White )out its always a deal breaker for a black man. If he would not have cheated on his wife he would have still been in it what you do in the dark-will come out in the light

   cici

well Kentoine, we can argue was it the Democrats or the Republicans, but one or the other had to get rid of him, and they did. His only choice was to get out.
We'll see who gets jumped on next.

   cici

Well I'll get mad about it if you take a woman on the side!

This is all politics Throw a load of mud and see if we can get any of it to stick. Women saying he was whatever to them didn't stick. So, we have to up the anti and get someone to say they are having an affair and see how that works. If not, we have to try something tougher, like stealing from Grandpa's Pizza. We just work out way up until we force him to withdraw. That's politics.

I hope he don't drop out having a side women ain't nothing new I don't understand why people get mad about it when a politician do it

About 24 percent of men and 14 percent of women have had sex outside their marriages, according to a Dec. 21, 1998 report in USA Today on a national study by the University of California, San Francisco.
Affairs affect one of every 2.7 couples, according to counselor Janis Abrahms Spring, author of After the Affair,as reported by the Washington Post on March 30, 1999. Ten percent of extramarital affairs last one day, 10 percent last more than one day but less than a month, 50 percent last more than a month but less than a year, but 40 percent last two or more years. Few extramarital affairs last more than four years.
A lesser known fact is that those who divorce rarely marry the person with whom they are having the affair. For example, Dr. Jan Halper’s study of successful men (executives, entrepreneurs, professionals) found that very few men who have affairs divorce their wife and marry their lovers. Only 3 percent of the 4,100 successful men surveyed eventually married their lovers.
Frank Pittman has found that the divorce rate among those who married their lovers was 75 percent. The reasons for the high divorce rate include: intervention of reality, guilt, expectations, a general distrust of marriage, and a distrust of the affairee.

Spouses who get hooked on Internet porn are a growing complaint among spouses filing for divorce, according to a survey of 350 divorce attorneys. "If there's dissatisfaction in the existing relationship, the Internet is an easy way for people to scratch the itch," said lawyer J. Lindsey Short, Jr., president of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, which conducted the study.
57% of people have used the Internet to flirt.

Evidence proves there is a high correlation between on-line infidelity and subsequent real-time sexual affairs.

Look at the numbers from Playboy Magazine:
-2 out of 3 women and 3 out of 4 men admit they have sexual thoughts about co-workers.
-86% of men and 81% of women admit they routinely flirt with the opposite sex.
-75% of men and 65% of women admit to having sex with people they work with.
The fact is that human beings are NOT monogamous by nature. That means they cheat.
Experts say that a gut instinct is the most powerful indicator of a cheating lover. Adultery statistics state that 85% of woman who feel their lover is cheating are correct. 50% of men who feel their lover is cheating are right. The first clue is seldom obvious. Typically, it's a "feeling" that something is different.
Cheating spouse statistics confirm that 50 and 70 percent of married men (between 38 and 53 million men) have cheated or will cheat on their wives. One study found that 2/3 of the wives (26 to 36 million women) whose husbands were cheating had no idea their husbands were having an affair - largely because they failed to recognize the telltale signs.
According to Annette Lawson, author of Adultery, published in 1989 by Basic Books. "The various researchers arrive at a general consensus…suggesting that above one-quarter to about one-half of married women have at least one lover after they are married in any given marriage. Married men probably still stray more often than married women—perhaps from 50 percent to 65 percent by the age of forty." According to Maggie Scarf, author of Intimate Partners, first published in 1987 by Random House, re-issued in 1996 by Ballentine.
"Most experts do consider the 'educated guess' that at the present time some 50 to 65 percent of husbands and 45 to 55 percent of wives become extramaritally involved by the age of 40 to be a relatively sound and reasonable one." According to Peggy Vaughan, author of The Monogamy Myth, first published in 1989 by Newmarket Press (third edition published 2003).
Conservative infidelity statistics estimate that “60 percent of men and 40 percent of women will have an extramarital affair. These figures are even more significant when we consider the total number of marriages involved, since it's unlikely that all the men and women having affairs happen to be married to each other. If even half of the women having affairs (or 20 percent) are married to men not included in the 60 percent having affairs, then at least one partner will have an affair in approximately 80 percent of all marriages. With this many marriages affected, it's unreasonable to think affairs are due only to the failures and shortcomings of individual husbands or wives."
Note that the above adultry statistics of the prevalence of affairs were made more than a decade ago; so based on changes in society during the intervening years, the current percentage of the population who have had affairs is probably somewhat HIGHER. For instance, the continuing increase of women in the workplace and the increase of women having affairs on the Internet means that the numbers for women having affairs is probably similar to those for men—about 60%.
