Subscribe to RSSHerman Cain's campaign told NBC News the presidential candidate will make a "major announcement" tomorrow in Atlanta. Andrea Mitchell reports.
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.

If one tracks the plane used by Mr Cain for campaigning, you find:
Mr Cain has just released a press release regarding " major announcement" from Atlanta tomorrow. Earlier this week he indicated that he would return to Atlanta to discuss the recents developments with his wife, prior to making any decisions or announcements. Folks, the decision is apparently made ! It appears to me that he will not be on the plane to Van Nuys, the plane is making it's way to Maylasia, and that this is the end of the line for Mr Cain's Presidential campaign.
Submitted for your consideration.
Mike -
This is seriously very cool espionage. I like it lol.
All his damage control was done by running to Faux News solely with his they-are-all lying speech, probably because he knows no other media outlet has allies to the Tea Party like FOX.
No matter what happens he is still a millionaire, at least for awhile.
He was a millionaire up until today.
Come on a 13 year F - Buddy and your wife found out on national TV with millions of people watching!!!!!
His whole family was shocked then his wife pulled out a gun and said. "I'm going to kill the "MF" "SOB"
I loved the irony of the Ginger White story being broken by a Fox affiliate!
WHO CARES????????!!!!!!! We all know that Sir Pizza Doughhead is dropping out of the presidential race because he won't be able to smile for the cameras after his wife gives him some poetic justice - a big ol' iron skillet upside his head! I don't know what makes people (not just politicians) think that they can be cheaters and not get caught. Karma is a b***h as we all know (or should know) and in most instances, it comes back and bites you in the butt. Or in Herman Munster's case, kicks him in the butt. I feel bad for his wife....
Obama following FDR to imprison americans he deems the "enemy".
Why is MSDNC not reporting this? The left was all upset over the patriot act by bush but this is OK?
Can you say "hypocrite" leftists?
Wait a minute, are you saying we are repeating history?? Like we did to japanese/Americans in WW2?
Read again please; it says this is what congress wants to do and NOT what is happening. I doubt that congress can override the constitution and due process clause and enforce citizens to be held without trial.
Yes, except that obama will have the power to decide who is an "enemy of the state", not congress. So if you talk bad about the dems, liberals you could be interned by this president.
And lets not forget that obama wants a civilian army that is just as big and just as well funded as our military is. You know like they have in other marxists countries to keep an eye on the population.
Vote out ALL Dems and liberal (moderate) repubs in 2012
MSN reported on this for about 5 minutes earlier today. Shows where their priorities really lie. The Senate fails to realize that they and the Congress are also subject to this law if it passes. For the way they've conducted themselves in recent years most of them could be considered enemies of the state or at least their constituents. It seems to me that if the story is not either sensational or really stupid MSN will not dwell on it for long. Where is the ACLU while this is going on? MSN also seems lately to shy away from issues that are controversial such as this one. Maybe time for MSN to man up and let the public know what is really going on in DC. Normally I consider them a bunch of crack pots. But in their case I would support them 100%.
sonmanvb: I think we should vote them all out and start with a clean slate.
It's in the senate to be brought for a vote this week! And if congress passes it, it will give this authority to the president.
Really? Then how in the world did they pass obamacare and about half of what they do in the last 150 years?
I am in total agreement SFC. I too am a retired SFC.
sonmanvb, Retired SFC - you Do realize that the President has to actually SIGN THE BILL before it becomes law, correct?
The President has already issued a VETO threat against this bill. This issue has been discussed on here on Thursday AND Friday, and believe it or not, there are people who are on this blog who actually think that this bill the Senate is considering is a GOOD IDEA.
We may not always agree on much, sonmanvb and Retire SFC, but we DO agree on this - this bill is a BAD IDEA.
I am sorry I missed that somehow. But I agree 100% this bill is a BAD idea. Yes I do realize the president has to sign this bill before it becomes law. If in fact the president has signed a VETO threat against this bill, it was either not stated in todays arctilce or I missed it. I will try to pay better attention to detail in the future.
Yes Retired - you missed the boat on this one. This was yesterday's news and Obama already threatened to veto it if it ever gets to his desk.
Wow, this really shows the slickness of Slick Willy. How he got away with actual sexual acts with Jennifer Flowers and Paula Jones etc etc etc and still became President in 1993. I guess if you are Democrat the Media Elite has one standard (rather lack of standard) as compared if you a Republican. Just imagine if Cain was buddies with Pentagon Bombing Terrorist Bill Ayers, MSNBC would have this front and center in the news nonstop day after day, but since instead it is their Annoited One who IS buddies with a Pentagon Bombing Terrorist, it is "not newsworthy"
Kurt, what you are missing is that Clinton was actually qualified to be POTUS. Further, he was a very effective President.
Most Americans would gladly trade some Bimbo Eruptions for a POTUS who was qualified and good at his job.
Nixon, RR, GWB1, GWB2 were all faithful to their wives, but not to the American people. These wonderful husbands sold middle class America down the river to their Corporate patrons.
bobby, so you think that obama is "qualified to be POTUS"? He did NOTHING until he was voted as POTUS and since has really screwed this country up. He is one and done like carter before him.

I don't think so.

==================================================
Certainly not, any republican since Ronald Reagan
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/obameter/rulings/promise-kept/
and how many trillion in debt are we ????????we are so screwed !!!!!!!!!! 150 days in the senate dose not make a qualified POTUS. and he has big ears too!!!
Concerning Reagan, remember Obama didn't smuggle Cocain into America with CIA planes. Or sell arms to the enemy (Iran) while they held Americans hostage.
Yep, you can thank GW for that mess. I'd give him a pass for the Afghanistan war. Not for Iraq.
He lied to get us there - war costs enormous amounts of money. He added to major wars and reduced the money coming into the tax rolls by giving giant tax breaks to the mega wealthy.
The gap between those that have and the rest of us has become Universe size.
You can thank the Bush tax cuts for the trillion dollar debt.
You can thank the GOP for keeping those breaks in existence.
Rumor has it that his major announcement is that another woman is going to report another affair.
I must say I am bummed; Cain was the conservatives choice candidate, now what do they have; Palin? (LMAO)
The great denier turned out to be the great liar. I hope his wife puts him back where he started, making pizzas, that's the only thing he seems to any good at. LOL
From all reports even the "good" pizza thing is debatable.
While I don't doubt the truth of ANYTHING that happened, I've been saying for months there was no way in h3ll the Southern GOP machine was EVER going to let an African-American be their nominee. It was only a matter of time before the dirt started flying and the leaks sprang.
His wife will be reported as saying she wants him to continue with his campaign. The guy is a born liar, so why should he quit when lying made him what he is - whatever the hell that is.
Herman who? Can we please get back to discussing the issues, like our anemic economy, our foreign policy, and the state of our civil liberties?
Sorry, but to a liberal sex sells better than ideas getting our economy working again.
They don't need answers to political issues as long as they know who slept with whom the night before. Small things amuse small minds and thats the liberal way.
settersperch:
Oh sure. I bet Bill Clinton would concur - just ask Gingrich.
Sorry you are quitting, Herman, we still hardly know you.
I bet he says..."I'm a pig, a liar, and I'm going back to pizza"
Weezey probably chewed George's butt out, so he's dropping out of the race!
Funny how the Media Elite pick the stories for us. Could you image if any of the Republican candidates was a buddy of a Pentagon Bomber Terrorist and that Terrorist was the Ghostwriter of the Candidate's Autobiography? MSNBC would have this front and center news day after day. Where was MSNBC on the Obama ties to Pentagon Bombing Terrorist Ayers? oh, shhh, MSNBC does not report negative on their Annoited One
Too much Foxx News for you bucko!
Nope, same criticism to Fox News. One would think in a Post 9/11 world a candidate who is buddies with a Pentagon Bomber would be an obvious disqualifier no matter what that Candidate's stance on the issues are.
bobby bo,
Kurt is right on this one.
The discussion above reminds me of the early years of Bush2. They all bragged about how they were all faithful to their wives, unlike the previous guy(Bubba C).
Well, in retrospect, we would have traded some uncomfortable Bimbo eruptions to the destructive eight years that the faithful Bushies gave us.
The point on Herm is not whether he is a Babe Hound or not - clearly he is. No, the question is what business does this guy have running for POTUS?
bobby bozo,
At least Bush kept us safe after 9/11. Clinton basically ignored the terrorists and didn't go after them after the Cole (sp?) bombing, resulting in 9/11 being the next step for them.
That's funny. That is exactly what I asked about Obama when he ran, and am still asking today. You sir, are a hypocrite.
Cain has how many millions in the bank? $$$$ that he doesn't have to give back. Hope the Koch Bros. Crossroads GPS, and the like.. are all @!$%#ting after
givingpissing away that money.Today s Republicans are running around claiming they are the Greatest Thing since sliced bread when just three short years ago they all marched in lockstep to destroy the American economy. Because of this many Americans now call the streets home. Their Tenure destroyed the value of peoples life's savings and their life's work. With virtually no prospect of recovering a life's worth of savings the Republicans are showing their faces back on the national stage trying to persuade everyone that they are going to be our Saviours.
Gals, beware the godfather of pizza
In case, perchance, he ever meets ya,
Though to Gloria was wed
He took Ginger to bed:
So, be warned, Herman lies and cheats, yeah!
Give the poor man a rest. This discussion vine really shows what integrity you liberal Obama supporters have. Move on to your next victim.

I tell you what else we Libs love: When the likes of your gay Republican Senator Larry Craig railed against gays while he pretended to be straight, and then got caught by police in the mens room at the airport trying to make out with some guy. (LOL !)
"Socialist Secret Service?" What does that even mean? And do you even have the slightest clue wahat Socialism is (without now looking it up?) I doubt it. Typical ignorant Fox News viewer.
Devin - American Girl's sarcasm escaped you. She was making the point that the hypocrite Cain is quite happy to have the state pay for his Secret Service detail.
First "planned face-to-face" meeting with his wife? How much planning does he need to meet his wife! no wonder he is Mr. HankyPanky
Amazing - he said this was having an "emotional toll" on his wife and that his family was his "number 1 priority". So, why did it take 4 days for him to get home and talk to his wife face to face?
I hear that tomorrow's announcement will be made in a voice several octaves higher - due to wife + knife.
I feel sorry for his wife! He sold her out for 3 pieces of silver!
Cain's announcement:
"I met with my wife today. I was able to dodge the left hook, but she landed the right cross and uppercut"
What a waste of bandwidth.
