MANCHESTER - Herman Cain acknowledged Thursday that he repeatedly gave Ginger White money to help her with "month-to-month bills and expenses" without telling his wife of more than 40 years.

In fact, the embattled presidential candidate said, his wife, Gloria, "did not know that we were friends until she (White) came out with this story" alleging that the two had a 13-year extramarital affair.

In his most candid interview since the latest allegations emerged, Cain adamantly maintained that he and White were no more than friends.

Cain also stated clearly for the first time that as a result of the constant controversy he has been facing, he is considering getting out of the presidential race.

Asked whether leaving the race is one of the options he is currently assessing, Cain said, “Yes, it is an option.” Regarding his decision, he said, "You will know by next week" as he takes the weekend to reassess where he stands in the campaign.

Cain said he believes that “someone offered (White) a lot of money” to make the allegation. He said he can't prove it.

Overall, Cain told the New Hampshire Union Leader, “One of the things that I have learned in this situation is that running for President has become a very dirty game. It's a dirty game - OK?”

Cain also said he believes there is a concerted effort by “a network of people,” both Democrats and Republicans, to bring him down.

Cain said that in about 70 text messages White sent him between Oct. 22 and Nov. 18, she was "asking for financial assistance because she was out of work, had trouble paying her bills and I had known her as a friend.

"She wasn't the only friend who I had helped in these tough economic times, and so her messages to me were relating to ‘needed money for her rent' or whatever the case may be. I don't remember all the specifics."

Cain said White told him in the texts that she did not have a job and was unable to get financial help from her family, "and that quite frankly, I was the only person who was a friend at the time - and I underscore ‘friend' - that was in a position to help her.

"I'm a soft-hearted person when it comes to that stuff. I have helped members of my church. I have helped members of my family.

"And I know a lot of other people who had done the same thing. She was asking me to help her, and sometimes, quite frankly, it was desperation," Cain said.

Cain said that in 17 reported texts back to her, he would respond with messages such as, "What are you doing to get a job?"

Cain said he did give Ginger White money, but, on the advice of counsel, he said, he refused to say how much.

And, he acknowledged, "My wife did not know about it, and that was the revelation. My wife found out about it when she went public with it."

Not only didn't his wife not know about the financial assistance, he said, but she also "did not know we were friends until she (White) came out with this story.

"My wife now knows," Cain said. "My wife and I have talked about it and I have explained it to her. My wife understands that I'm a soft-hearted giving person."

He said his wife "is comfortable with the explanation that I told her."

Cain said that in retrospect he should have told his wife about his friendship with White sooner, "but retrospect doesn't necessarily change what's going on now."

He said White never threatened him with going public with the allegation of an affair if Cain did not give her money, "nor was there any indication that there might be blackmail or anything like that.

"I thought I was helping a friend, end of story," he said.

Cain said he does not know why White has gone public with the allegation, "but I have very strong speculation that someone offered her a lot of money.

"I was helping her with month-to-month bills and expenses, and somebody _ this is speculation only _ offered her a lot of money.

"And one of my objectives is to clear my name and my reputation," Cain said.

Cain said the two "struck up a friendship" many years ago when she attended a conference in Louisville, Ky., where he was the keynote speaker.

He said that although he is considering leaving the race, “We weren't slowing down" in the campaign. "We're keeping all commitments and we're reassessing several things.

“So, yes, getting out is an option," he said. "That just meant we were not going put the brakes on until” he made his decision.

Cain said he intends to meet with his wife and family members during the weekend as part of his reassessment of his campaign.

He said he will leave the race if his wife asks him to do so, “but my wife wouldn't ask me to get out.

“I would make a decision based on how all of this stuff is affecting her, because I will put her first,” he said. “But she's not the type to say, ‘You ought to get out.'”

Other than family, Cain said he would leave the race if campaign contributions dry up.

“If financial backers started to not want to contribute, because _ and I've heard this from some people _ they see this cloud not going away.

“I haven't been convicted of anything except in the court of public opinion, but the media drives the court of public opinion,” he said.

“Every time a new story comes on TV, it mentions sexual harassment charges. That's inaccurate because they were found baseless. I call them false accusations.

“They were false. They were not proven, so every time they are called sexual harassment charges, that just keeps saying to people sexual harassment, rather than false accusation.

“So, understandably, some people might say I can't get the nomination with this cloud, so they're going to stop giving,” he said.

Cain said that while some in the media are “professional, there are some that are truly not professional. Those that love to play ‘gotcha' politics.”

He also said politicians have an audience in “the political class,” as well as “the third audience,” which, he said, is “we the people.”

“I have got totally difference responses and reactions from those three audiences,” he said. “The establishment says it's a distraction to the party. It is.

“The establishment says, ‘You can't get the nomination because of the cloud.' Maybe, but that's the way they think.

“The people are ones who are saying, ‘We love your solutions, your optimism. Don't drop out, if that's an option.' But it's always got to be an option. It's like a business,” Cain said.

As for the motive behind the latest allegations and earlier allegations that he sexually harassed former co-workers at the National Restaurant Association, Cain has said that “they” are “attacking” him and and his “character, my reputation and my name, in order to bring me down.”

He said Thursday, “The ‘they,' I believe, is a network of people who would not like to seem me challenge President Barack Obama as the Republican nominee.

“I believe some of them are Democrats and there might be some Republicans. I don't fit the traditional paradigm. So, when I say ‘they,' it's not just one side of the aisle. I believe there is a tendency on both sides of the aisle,” he said.

The interview lasted about an hour and included Union Leader Publisher Joseph McQuaid, editorial page director Andrew Cline and senior political reporter John DiStaso. An earlier interview, scheduled for two weeks ago, was canceled at the last minute due to a disagreement over how much time Cain would be available to speak to the newspaper.

Before this new "revelation" about a "friend" I was one of those who said they have nothing on the man. Now that he is admitting he is friends with a woman his wife didn't know about until this became public it causes me concern. My concern isn't so much the friendship as it is the covering up of this friendship. It looks to me like a coverup is taking place here. Also, I would like to know what his definition of "friend" is.

What right-minded, devoted husband pays the rent and other living expenses of a female "friend" in need and keeps it a secret from his wife? Even if he's filthy rich and his wife doesn't pay much attention to where the money is going, it's an integrity thing. If you're giving large sums of money to help support someone with day-to-day living expenses, you tell your wife, Mr. Cain... especially if that someone is a "secret friend" she doesn't know about.If Cain has any shred of integrity he'll own up to his improprieties and bow out. Instead, I'm afraid he'll still bow out and continue denying everything. Nice example of accountability, Herm.

So what would happen if America decided that Mr. Cain's sex life was none of our business? What would happen if America chose Mr. Cain's economic plan? What would happen if the power of picking winners and losers in Washington was substantially diluted by the 9-9-9 Plan? What would happen if America decided that a successful mainstream businessman knows more about what makes a small business successful enough to grow and provide jobs to Americans?What would happen if word got out that it is small businesses that employ most Americans and Mr. Cain's knowledge would be very crucial in getting middle class America back to work? What would happen if America realized that the same successful business executive skills that Mr. Cain used to turn failing businesses around are the same skills that are needed in the Oval Office? What would happen if America realized that the career politicians do not know anything about main street economics and the incompetent career politicians are responsible for this country's recession?.What would happen if America decided to vote in a common sense problem solving successful businessman into the Oval Office? What is a President if not the CEO of America?What would happen if race baiting and class warfare were removed from the debate? I am ready for solutions. Obama's unfair regulations and unjust taxes on our small businesses and banks have killed the middle class chance to improve their lives and it has always been the middle class that has made this nation prosper. I think Herman Cain is this nation's best chance to get back on the road to prosperity.

Jane Fulmer, those are good questions. And it's troubling that, given the dirt that has been slung at Mr. Cain, America's only concern seems to be: How much does it weigh?By the way, the last time we were here, the strategy was "attack the accuser" and the accusations were described as what happened "when you drag a hundred-dollar bill through a trailer park." Mr. Cain has not insulted his accusers, even though they fit the bill better, while Mr. Clinton's victims were government employees with stable careers and no reason to lie. Imagine.

Jane Fulmer,Of all the post's listed coupled by the great questioning by the Union Leader on CSPAN today I must say I have been swayed by what you posted- yours clearly articulates the most important elements of what we should be considering in todays critical unstable world & domestic environment. I have and will continue to have some reservations on the potential personal conduct by Mr. Cain, but shall leave this potential affair between his wife and himself. As a Catholic and believer in morality it causes me to reflect on whether my personal beliefs could be outwayed the the need for the "Best" candidates visionary potential plans and his/her potential to actually deliver what our country sorely needs today. As I believe Mr. Cains capabilities are clearly what we need today, I will now back Herman Cain-after reflection each of the other candidates, have their own dirty laundry, or taints by years of politics as insiders to Washingtons own "corrupting stigma"- I rather take the chance on a businessman who if nominated would owe his allegiance to the People- this would be something novel and not done for many many years!Jim Lerrauri

I gotta say, I'm surprised at the civility of the comments here. I didn't realize how enjoyable that could be until just now, LOL. I'll definitely return. And about Mr. Cain; this would have been none of our business but for one thing: his hypocrisy. Like most of the GOP pols out there, he believes that "marriage is a sacred institution between one man and one woman", when he should have added that what he really meant was "between one man and however many women he can score on the side". Clinton left office with a massive approval rating because he didn't go around preaching family values and hatred for sexual minorities. He was NOT a hypocrite, just a pig. Live by the family value sword, die by the family value sword. As for Gingrich, he may have admitted to his sexual hypocrisy but he will NEVER get the female vote, ever! They won't forgive him no matter how contrite he pretends to be because of how he left his first wife, while she was being treated for cancer, in her hospital bed! I don't wanna jinx it, but the GOP looks like it's done for now. Hallelujah!

Reject candidates who would endorse policies that are based on their religious beliefs. Now who does that leave? Maybe Ron Paul? Nah.

Where are the detailed stories of Ms. White's life and circumstances? Where are the interviews with friends, coworkers, and associates? Where are the time line analysis stories? This time, it isn't "he said, she said". The press just regurgitates what she said. I'm not claiming any vast left wing conspiracy, I'm just saying that it's odd that everyone is convinced of their unsupported, non-evidentiary opinions, and they're not even asking for facts. It is discouraging that people don't demand better of the press. They enable this kind of crap. If he's guilty, then fine, he should drop out.
