Woman reveals 45 year relationship with Herman Cain

Iowa- Herman Cain's suspended campaign for the GOP nomination for president suffered yet another set back yesterday as another female associate came forward to claim a relationship with the former front runner. The woman, Gloria Cain, has perhaps had the most shocking allegations yet. In a statement released by her publicist early yesterday, Ms. Cain revealed that her relationship with Mr. Cain has gone on for over 40 years and in fact continues today.

According to Gloria Cain, she and the former Godfather's pizza exec met in 1966 and within two years the two had married. While she refused to go into any more explicit detail, Gloria did say that she was in love with Mr. Cain and has been for over four decades. Ms. Cain has slammed the other women who have come forth over the course of the past several weeks as gold diggers and predators who are looking to capitalize on her lover's notoriety. In the same statement in which Ms. Cain announced her relationship to the presidential candidate, she said “The women who have made such heinous allegations against Mr. Cain should be ashamed of themselves. I have been with Herman for more than forty years and in that time he has never even tried to treat me the way he did these women. Whether it be the women claiming to be his mistress, or any of the women claiming sexual misconduct, I know for a fact that such acts simply don't interest Herman Cain.”

It is believed that the threat of this revelation is what ultimately led Mr. Cain to suspend his campaign for the presidency. According to Matt Suresh of the the American Enterprise Institute the theory might have a fair amount of truth to it. “Up until now Mr. Cain's problems have all been well within the wheel house of election year politics.” Mr. Suresh told Nooze Nuggets, “Revelations of sexual harassment, assault and infidelity are all time honored favorites of the primary campaigns, no more controversial than the Iowa caucus. However, as far as I can remember, never before has a candidate faced an accusation as shocking as when Mrs. Cain revealed her forty plus year committed relationship with Mr. Cain.” While it would seem that over years the electorate has grown tolerant if not weary of the common accusations, Mrs. Cain managed to shake them back into wakefulness when she made her revelation.

When asked for a comment about whether or not he knew and/or was married to Gloria Cain, Herman Cain repeated the question several times under his breath and then said the following “Gloria, if I had met her, is truly the type of woman I would have met if we had been introduced at some point in the past. Herman Cain could be married to a lot of different woman, or just one, or in fact he could be a single solitary Black Walnut in the forest by himself. Either way, he is truly, not my wife.” In the hours since the revelation Mr. Cain has been seen in at least two separate locations with Gloria Cain, lending credibility to the woman's accusations that she is his wife of several decades.

While Mr. Cain's campaign might be able to rebound from this current scandal, it must do so quickly. With the primary voting season getting underway early in the new year Mr. Cain must rally soon or be lost in the crowd. Even those efforts may not be enough. Currently, rumors have begun circulating that he and Gloria have two children, whom they have raised together and remain close with to this day.
