Alfredo Ortiz, a Georgia-based press secretary with the Herman Cain campaign, tells NBC News that Herman Cain will make a "major announcement" tomorrow in Atlanta at his new campaign office in DeKalb County.
Ortiz would not allude to the nature of the announcement other than to say it is a "major announcement."

Cain has been the subject of media scrutiny for weeks, sparked by an Oct. 31 story in Politico reporting that the National Restaurant Association had settled sexual harassment claims brought by two women.
On Nov. 28, an Atlanta woman, Ginger White, announced that she had engaged in a 13-year-long affair with Cain. The former Godfather's Pizza CEO acknowledged sending money to White, but insisted they were merely friends.
He told senior staffers on Tuesday that he was taking time to “reassess” his campaign.
The announcement follows the first planned face-to-face meeting between Cain and his wife, Gloria, since White came forward.
Cain's campaign has pushed forward with business-as-usual in the meanwhile, soliciting donations from supporters, and launching new efforts, such as "Women for Herman Cain," an initiative spearheaded by his wife.

lol What a Joke. Yes, still send me money.
Finally this fool did something right for a change
So one of the most surreal presidential campaigns in recent memory comes to an ignominious close. Does Herman Cain really believe he can "suspend" his presidential campaign a month before Iowa? No, he's toast. And who was trying to keep the man "silenced"? He's delusional. The man is a media dream of outrageous soundbites and perpetual press fodder. Cain will be remembered as the kind of kook that has come to define the new mainstream of the modern day Republican Party. http://www.sunstateactivist.org
sad but true....
Yeah, I can't remember anything as absurd since Trump and Palin.
Cain said we are going to change it from the outside it will take sometime...you do know what he is talking about people..the Constitution...making our nation one nation under God...with force..yes people its your thinking they want..changed
One nation.. under god... with force.... Yeah, that sounds like EXACTLY what Jesus had in mind..../s
no the scribes and Pharisees were religious fanatics..not Jesus..they killed the truther..and all the disciples...the tea party are just like the scribes and Pharisee..pray persecute anyone who don't believe there way.period..give the tea party christian full power over our government..then you will see..the taliban tea party at work
I know, Elvis. /s Means "sarcasm ended" :-)
The moron actually thought that the GOP and conservative-base would actually choose him - a black man - as a candidate. A moron to the Nth degree.
Didn't the moron hear the rumblings? Most of that crowd doesn't believe he's an American, they think he was born in an African jungle.
lol
?
Maybe he'll endorse Ron Paul?
Maybe Alan but I think Herman dropping out helps Newt and hurts Romney. I think Newts chances to win the nomination has just improved.
Right... the current GOP voters did not dislike Cain because he cheated on his wife... they disliked him because he didn't cheat ENOUGH. I am gleefully clapping over the prospect of Newt winning the nomination.
why...??what did Ron Paul do to him........
He touched him in his private part. His wallet.
God yes...Pleeeease...NEWT !!!!!!!! (paid for by the re-elect Obama committee)
the rights whole agenda is a church and state nation from the beginning...but you people are to blind to see.it...
I wouldn't leave out a status quo economic system, based on antiquated principles.
they keep using God and look what it is doing stirring the nation up..
Herman Cain should have know better, if you are going to play, you will have to pay. Stop blaming Democrats and start looking to your Right.
Good Luck.
Hey Herm, zip your pants up on the way out the door.
Wow ..that sure was cringe worthy ..
Cirque des fous
Five clowns down...two to go.
Just in. Cain quits.
Just out. Cain.
What a waste of money and energy. I wish he did some charity work instead.
the left wing media must be really proud of themselve! african-american conservatives just have no place in politics! sad for america!
Surely you aren't claiming that as the reason for Cain's implosion! LMAO Michael Steele, Colin Powell, Alan Keyes, Clarence Thomas, ect, ect, ect... DO these names mean nothing to you?
To..Barstowbob """"
What "african-american conservatives " are you talking about...
Anybody that calls the Billionaire Koch Brothers "brothers from a different mother" Needs to be tared and feathered, public flogging anyone?
the one that was a republican candidate!
To Barstowbob """'
Sorry I thought you were talking plural...
We need people with character not color or creed. When we see color and creed that is SAD for America.
ROFLMAO... so, you are STILL blaming the "liberal media" for the fact that Herman Cain destroyed his own campaign... and LONGGG before the affairs came out. The man had NO chance. None. His "9-9-9" plan, poached from a video game, was panned by ALL leading economists. His "rally cry" was a Pokemon song. What part of his campaign did liberals even have to attack? lol
Nine hundred ninety eight...9-9-9...one thousand. Looks like I can't stack up to Obama's 1 BILLION DOLLARS of available campaign funding dollars. The Electoral system is as legit. as Medicair insurance claims from hospitals & physicians. No pain for Cain. He got all the coverage he needed. Another political fall from (dis)grace.
Sends in the clowns...there must be clowns. Send home the Secret Service and wait until you find out which remaining candidate is going to pay his bills. Also consider if suspending means he can still get money? Ending means he can not. Who among you knows about suspensions?
Now a word about Gloria, Gloria, Gloria. Many would say standing by your man is admirable. Many would say she is easily deceived and has been yet again. Standing by your man is not what it used to be, Gloria there will probably be others that will come to you quietly and you will eventually awaken to find you have been duped over and over. I am sad for you but it is common among abused women to not realize it is not their fault and they learn to let go.
They must have a prenuptial agreement.
Who does? Newt & Cain?
Cain's wife needs to talk to him face-to-face because she needs him to sign the divorce papers.
Cain did the right thing. Unlike other politicians who were in the actual White House doing their dirty deeds, at least Cain is man enough to step out and let the debate on the issues be the center of attention. No distractions are the best thing for the GOP and the worst thing for BO. BO stinks and he's gone in 2012!
How very clever you are! BTW, you do remember that Newt was in the House when he was doing his "deeds"... right? The left had nothing to do with Cain leaving... it was your own "family values" team that was calling for Cain's head. Personally, I am delighted by the prospect of Obama V Newt. How does that smell?
Haaaaaaaaaa!!! YOU ARE A LOOOOOOSER !!!!!!
I may be wrong but it sure seems that the dirty tricks of
the Liberals are about to steal the opportunity of a really fine man becoming
President. This whole thing stinks of filthy politics. If Herman is
innocent then these sleazy tricks may change the outcome of a US Presidential
election. Think about that for a minute. A few woman of very
questionable character aided by Obama’s chief mudslinger David Axelrod and
quite possibly rewarded by Socialist George Soros and Larry “Penthouse” Flynt may
be stealing the election from Herman Cain. Has anybody checked the bank
accounts of these women? Those wonderful Liberals George Soros and Larry
“Penthouse” Flynt are offering a ONE MILLION DOLLAR reward for anyone having a
gay or straight sexual encounter with a Republican Presidential
candidate. This tactic is straight out of the David Axelrod
playbook.
yeah you only used him for black votes..sure he was a fine black man huh
Your anger is miplaced. Liberals would have loved nothing better than to have Cain as the GOP candidate.
Is George Soros a Socialist because he is more intelligent than you are and has used his intelligence the best way that he knew how to make himself wealthy?
Is Larry Flint a Socialist because he has beautiful women around him all the time when you can merely only get the third rate hand me down women from three parks over?
Your jealous of both mens success. And yes I know Flint is a porn producer which is against the decency of all those involved. But those involved are of the legal age to make their own decisions.
A decision that keeps you angry at not being the same position as they are.
To..Chuck"""
The repubs lowered the bar going after Clinton ...and it's come back to bite them ever since..
If that's the case, why wouldn't other Republican candidates step up to support him, knowing that the Democrats could do the same to them?
And, why would Democrats move against him NOW? Why wouldn't they have waited until after he received the Republican nomination?
Sorry...odds are: a) the substances of the allegations were true and/or b) someone from within the Republican Party itself ratted on Herman.
America needs presidential leadership that doesn not violate the Constitution of the United States. Basically a president that knows his job is too not tell us we can or cannot do something or think such a way where laws are created to enforce such despotic thinking (Dick Cheney) but a president who looks to the defense of the country, promotes the well being of the country by creating new jobs, new jobs that are not meant to bolster their political base for the next election, but job creation meant to give Americans the choice to choose the job that they do without being made to vote for a political base.
Chuck,Larry Flynt has had that offer for years,and it was because the hypocritical right was shoving all their family value crap up every bodies noses. Thats what happens to those who think they are holier than the rest. Try blaming yourselves..the GOP is their own worst enemy..the teabaggers have run them into the ditch on the RIGHT side of the road,so don't blame Axelrod that your top two candidates stink..OBAMACARE my butt..one of em' invented it and the other one whored for it. PLEASE....!!!!!
Whats UPchuck ....!!!!???

"If he is innocent".....lmao
Youre delusional - period!
If he was innocent he would be in this fight until the very end - Period!
We did it! We hung him, look at him swinging, body shaking. we just watched the reactions of a dead candidate. Good job media, now lets go hang Newt.
Cain hung himself you self righteous (fill in the blank)....worst part about it - you and your wimpy azzed teapublicans know it!
But instead of holding the man accountable - do as you always do - shoot the messenger!
As for Newt - no one needs to hang him either - you on the right have already chosen to ignore what you know is fact....
What hung Cain and will hang Newt - your own hypocrisy on values and ethics.
Payback is a bitsh!
Herman Cain can come to the Democrats side any time that he wants to. It's obvious that threats that he is receiving is coming the white only mentality that is the GOP or those who still support the Stars and Bars.
Remember how Ann Coulter called Democrats traitors and terrorists while Bush was in office? Wonder where the brainwashing is coming from?
They will never make it back up the Hill as America does not want the mentality of white only being the absolute of leadership. America wants and needs a diverse type of leadership where hate of race or color cannot be used by the enemy on both sides to cause war.
A few days ago there was a Muslim family that came into the Library. It wasn't a normal Muslim family they were Islamists. It's good to see such diversity finally spreading into the countryside in America.
You are not to bright are you. Muslims are Islamists.
Watching his followers hoot-n-holler for the creep bothered me much more than his lying
womanizing, arrogance. How in the name of all thats holy can they STILL support
this self-inflated liar?
I would like to see one supporter of Cain post ONE - just one - economic expert
who has ANYTHING positive to say about his ridiculous 999 plan. Even the
advisor who helped him created it has said it is ridiculous.
Cain supporters want a president with no brains, a buttload of arrogance, no idea at
all of what goes on globally, AND one who subjugates women. A truly sad, and
sometimes comical commentary on the Dumbing Down of America.
Has it taken you this long to realize this country is full of ignorant gullible fools?
No, I used to give everyone the benefit of the doubt until the day that such an ignorant and guillable fool from the Republican Party put a gun to my back. He pulled the trigger and although the weapon was empty the pscyhological attempt was meant to convey that if I didn't follow him and his Republican politicals that the next time the weapon my be loaded and I accidently shot.
Well guys welcome to the shortest re-election process this country has seen.
Cain prayed to our liberal God ..and God told him to get lost
It's a vast left wing conspiracy. Hee hee.
