WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said on Monday a woman will soon emerge to accuse him of having a 13-year affair with her, hinting for the first time that allegations about his past might force him to quit the White House race.

The former pizza company executive, who has been dogged by several allegations of sexual harassment, told CNN he had nothing to hide and that he is staying in the race.

But asked if he would drop out of the campaign due to the stream of allegations, Cain said: "I would make that decision depending on the circumstances and how it is impacting my wife and my family."

1. His wife should take him for everything he is worth... Financially speaking that is.
Because as a husband he ain't worth a pile of dog poo.....

6. I didn't think it was possible - Cain is dumber than I thought he was
If there's someone out there who had an affair with him - for 13 years! - and he didn't think this was going to come out, he's even stupider than I could have dreamed. 9-9-9 baby!

8. The only reason Cain is in the race is for ReTHUGS to
try to fool America that they would tolerate a black candidate.
Time for this bullshit to end.

9. I think he told this woman to come forward so he would have
an excuse to drop out. I really don't think he wants the job. He wants a cushy job at some tv station where he can use his biggest asset - his mouth.

15. It Means:
"If Ginger White (the bitch, or 'b-word') has a video of the two of them together in a compromising way, I will quit the campaign."

I take the 'quote' as a way of depicting Cain's unspoken attitude about the news.

19. found this...too funny... people have his number
"I just want you to know, she will say that we had sex 12 times on 12 different occasions throughout a 13 year period. She will say something along the lines of dressing up styled as Marilyn Monroe and calling me her Sammy Davis Jr. That didn't happen. She will say that I liked to yell out that I was king of the world at the height of climax. That's a lie. She will say I sang spirituals referencing "let my sperm go!" Totally false."

20. Cain started off a smug little twit. He was in it to maximize his speech fees.
Now, he is a laughing stock. And likely unable to appear anywhere for pay save Dr. Phil.

He will start a purity drive in the party.
