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.

There once was a candidate named Cain;
With considerable profit to gain;
He said, "I didn't do it,"
and challenged them to prove it;
and the proof has caused poor Cain pain.
Limericks! A lost art! I doff my cap to you, sir!
Auntie, that sounds like a quote from the movie Romeo and Juliette.
The announcement: "I done soiled my britches! And my repatation!"
Rachel Maddow has dug up the source of the "Women for Cain" photos, and they are stock photos that been used by hundreds of websites. What a hoot!
My man HERMS..been spreading his Love SPERM..all across these United States Of America!!! But to say you were giving a woman money for a number or yrs..without returns? Come on Herm...CUT IT OUT AND KNOCK IT OFF!!!!!!!!! I'm 55 and married. When I was 45, I paid a gals rent for 7 months. She was 27 and need help thru a rough patch. I got good loving and sex in return folks. After she got back on her feet, it was over!! I got paid..and so did she!! For Herm to say they were just friends is fine..But all men know they were..F"'ing friends. You gotta pay to play and thats fine. I think Herm just ought to call it quits before some babe comes back out of his past 20 yrs ago with an...illegitimate kid!!!!!!!
And don't be mad at Ms White, She was probably more than handsomely rewarded (under the table of course) by one or some of herms republican incumbents!!
He's going into rehab for his sexual addiction?
"No, No, No I won't go to rehab" and now Amy is dead. Well Hermy you better if you don't want to follow Amy.
I feel bad for the man. Somebody didn't want him to win the nomination because he was on his way to win it. Why wait now to come out and say it. The first case he had was disclosed even though it was settled. The last one why coming with it now?. Dirty politics at its best.
Politics inside the GOP. The Dem's would have waited until after he got the nomination before exposing the dirt.
Pull your head out, even if only for a few minutes. How could anyone take this guy seriously? Perhaps PT Barnum was right after all.
Herman loves Herman.
Herman did you think that you could get away with all those skeletons in your closet? You are dumber than you look. If I did that for 13 years and my wife found out about, I'd be a female in one whack.
This could be a smear campaign against him, just like they did against Palin.
Low-lifes, all of them. There was something in it for all these women to come out now with this. Major $$$$. Vindictive bitches.
A smear campaign against Palin?
Palin might be less qualified to run for POTUS than Herm is.
Alan, you have to let go of your Fox News pablum. They are leading you astray!
Sadly we have too much distrust going on now, his running would be a waste of money and denial is not going to get it
It is over GodFather.....
He probably got the Kiss of Death from Mrs. Godfather.
Stick a fork in him! Wait a minute, you need to lift a pizza up to see if it's done! Wrong metaphor!
If he goes, he goes. If he stays, so be it. It's a slow football Saturday, isn't it, so maybe somebody will watch.
Isn't this Army-Navy weekend? One of the few football games left between scholar-athletes playing for the love of the game and the glory of their schools?
He learned to say super size that in spanish, so he can get a job at the Burger King drive through? I have a hard time taking seriously this guy who is more soap opera than politician. The mother ship is coming back for him? Praise the Lord he saw the light? Who knows what the annoucenment will be and probably even less people care. Watching this drama unfold is almost as much fun as the cartoon networks best.
Dan Rowan: "Say goodnight, Dick!"
Dick Martin: "Goodnight, Dick."
The fact that Mr. Cain admitted that his wife knew nothing about the financial aid he was providing to this woman speaks volumes. If he wasn't forthcoming about that, it would be fairly safe to say that he wasn't forthcoming about other aspects of that "relationship". Either way, it looks like he's got some serious splainin to do to Mrs. Cain tomorrow. Maybe Newt can give him some ideas on gifts from Tiffany .....
I find it extremely odd that not a single woman has come forward and said that she dated Obama. There must have been ONE girl in his whole life. He was suppose to be the big shot at Columbia U., wouldn't there have been one girl that dated him? One friend that knew him there? Some girl that said he couldn't dance? VERY odd!
Just what are you blathering about here? Is this more of the Manchurian Candidate bullsh#t? Or a slur towards the President's masculinity? He IS married and the father of two lovely young ladies, in case this is some sort of implication on the President's masculinity!
There's a huge difference between dating someone in high school or college and carrying on a "financial aid friendship" with someone for 13 years after you have been married.
Maybe he is gay. Yes, that's it. Michelle and the kids are just a front. LOL.
Don't feel too sorry for Mr. Cain. He can still be a valuable tool for the 1% and the GOP by backing Newt's inter-city child slave plans.
Go occupy your playpen.
I am sure I don't know what his announcement will be but you gotta love the liberal spin on.
Since when does any husband or wife need to plan a face to face meeting???, wtf!!!!
Hey honey can we get together next Tuesday for an hour or so ( its the only time I have open ), yea, that would work with my wife, NOT!!!, LOL
Cain's statement: I like white women, shoot me.
As much as I like Herman Cain, I think he is in denial on his relationship with White. He needs to confess, apologize and move on. People will respect him more if he does.
Cain could beat Obama. I don't think Gingrich could beat Obama, basically on the looks issue. He would not get the support from women as they, unfortunately, tend to vote for the pretty boy, when voting for a candidate. Gingrich needs to lose weight. He looks and walks like a stuffed penguin. -- Romney probably has a chance to defeat Obama. He needs to get the Christian vote to do so though and he needs to become more visible. Its all Cain and Gingrich in the news lately. Where is Romney? He also needs to come out with a plan to reform our tax code. Getting behind the Fair Tax would be a great start. It definitely helped Huckabee in his campaign in 2008.
I'm glad we're not all as superficial as you portray us to be.
Its sad, but its the truth. I am glad many are not as superficial as well. But many are, and that will wind up hurting the country if Obozo gets re-elected.
ANYBODY BUT OBAMA!
Alan
Either you have an IQ of about room temp or you're just a complete a hole.
He'll probably drop out because his support has been damaged. Fools like you all that have him convicted are the type to believe this nonsense.
The woman who went public is now getting evicted from her $3000 a month townhouse. I guess her black mail story didn't win her any money. What about the first two woman. They suddenly have dissappeared? Hmmm...........can't back up their story?
And now Ginger White.......she's been sued for libel and lost. Needs money just like the previous evictee.........
Herman maintains his innocence. And you all have him convicted. If I were a Lib, I'd call you all racists, but I can't adopt the leftard mentality.
You fools enjoy your little Cain assasination party. Hope Gingrich surges even further in the polls.
And I hope you all are falsely accused and prematurely convicted of some dastardly deed one day to see how it feels to lose what little reputation you may have because of some gold diggers.
At last a person on this site that believes in the American way of life. Innocent until proven guilty. At least he isn't a muslim throwing America to the wolves
Watch her disappear from view like all the others, the DNC have done their job and will take care of them until after the election to keep them happy. I hope he hangs in for awhile longer as the average voter only has a memory until the next big liberal headline.
They have been beating up on Newt about his past and no one cares as its old news. Cains media flash will disappear in another month uless they can gain ground on Tiger's record, LOL
Thanks. These leftards are just eating this all up. If it was their candidate, we'd all be racists for even accusing their guy and then we would all hear about the GOP and family values..........Blah Blah Blah......... This bunch is so predictable. All they have are talking points with a National Enquirer mentality.
The Leftard Mentality
Mr. Cain's @ss is grass and Mrs. Cain is the mower!
The DNC? Seriously?
No, settersperch - this is the handiwork of the GOP. Believe me when I tell you that WE WANT Hermie the Clown to be the nominee.
Drummer:
Nothing could make us libs happier than Gingrich winning the GOP nomination (well, maybe Cain winning lol). You should watch what you wish for.
Remember when it was said that Jackie Kennedy got 1 million dollars from her father in law to keep putting up with JFK's womanizing so he could get the Presidential nomination? How about something similar happening between Cain Dog and his long-suffering wife? After 43 years, don't you think she knows what he's really like and has been staying home (the "just don't bring your women over here.." kind of thinking along with the "be discreet".... idiom too. Except now she looks like an idiot, his family's been ridiculed and so has the GOP).
I believe that this hound dog is from the old fashioned school of "men rule the family" and "women don't give orders and do as they are told and simply take care of the kids and home"..... HIS life is lived according to his ego and he's free to do as he sees fit. Has nothing to do with his family or wife, since she's the one who's married, after all, he's a virile man, isn't he? Used to be dogs like this one were admired by the community, especially some minority groups, remember? He grew up in this time and firmly believes this is the way "real men" live.
Trouble is being hypocritical, lying through your teeth, too many scandals and putting his party in a ridiculous position is NOT the way anymore, plus he belongs to the party that keeps spouting off the "family values", moral judgments, the famous "support of marriage act" and all the rest..... except that they've got two of the worst examples of "family men" at this time, both he and Newt are the poster boys for everything they DON'T stand for, so what's up with the GOP? They that desperate? They have no one else that's "one of the boys"? And no, crazy Bachman doesn't count!!!!! She's got that husband to contend with too..... And now Palin, another loser, is making noises that she'd like to run..... The end of the GOP as we know it......
Yes.
You people who still blame the Bush administration are either stupid or haven't looked at the country since we have had a new president. Our country is in the toilet, we are broke, there are people who have been out of work for so long that they get no benefits whatsoever now. And all you can do is blame someone else. At least take ownership of voting for someone who sold America down the tubes.
Those who ignore history are bound to repeat it.
The great recession was the effect of 8 years of Bush and the culmination of the ball being pushed down hill by Saint Reagan.
Supply Side(Voodoo) Economics, deregulation of the financial industry, massive deficit defense spending. Those are the holes that we were pushed into by the previous occupants of 1600 Pennsy Ave.
Big O has not exactly been FDR, but let's be fair - he is trying to get the Nation back on its feet while his opponents do everything possible to make him and all of the rest of us fail.
There are some things in life that are so unbelievable it leaves you laughing. Can someone who is or has been married tell me they could carry on a thirteen year affair and the spouse be unaware? Not going to happen!
herman cain is no worse than any else in washington his scandal just came up before the election. t he moron in the white house now is a joke, a mere puppet of the democratic (socialist party). the powers that be would not let someone out side the political machine get elected, republican or democrat .watch out for the new world order !!!I thought it was a joke until I looked in to it . the politicians in office don`t care about us all they care about is getting reelected and padding there wallets
Tinfoil hat time!!
Auntie:
LMAO. hahahahaha
