Herman Cain Cries Over His Wife Gloria

Herman Cain got choked up while talking about his wife and faith with ABC's New Hampshire affiliate WMUR.

When asked what the role of his wife, Gloria, would be during his inauguration, Cain looked down and whispered, "I almost can't say it." With tears in his eyes, he said, "Holding the Bible when I'm sworn in."

"Emotional, huh?" a reporter asked. Cain nodded and took a moment to collect himself. See the video here.

Cain also addressed the scrutiny his family has come under since sexual harassment allegations rocked his campaign earlier this month.

"If I ever reached a point where this campaign became damaging to my family, my wife and my family, I'm not a quitter, but there is a point beyond which you will not go," he said.

Gloria Cain spoke out in defense of her husband on Monday with Fox News' Greta Van Susteren, insisting that he "totally respects women."

why do all the people in the background at Cain rally's look really really odd and off? Yesterday I was watching TV coverage and one was wearing a hat, but the features didn't even look human, could it be that the extreme acute and chronic mental illness that would cause you to support such a joke candidate would show on your face?

He's tearing... because he knows he doesn't have a prayer at being sworn in. LOL.

Give me a break! Is this man serious? Was he crying regarding the thought of his unwanted advances towards women? What a creep! I find it interesting the threats came right after the women made public appearances. Nutt job.

I'd love to see the evidence of these alleged threats. Sounds like more attention getting to me.

The Tea Party brought you Joe the Plumber, Rick Perry, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, and Herman Cain. I have a box of hammers that knows more than these pretenders.

Plus he tells letterman that everyone of the women are lying.Ya know?I kinda liked the guy,I treally did,but then all of this surfaced.Now I knopw obviously not all of it is true and not all of them are telling the truth but I have to believe out of all of them that at least two of them at the very least are definitely not lying.If he did it he should just come out with it and be done with it all instead of wasting everyones time with this

"I almost can't say it." With tears in his eyes, he said, "Holding the Bible when I'm sworn in [so I know it's a Bible and not a kooran - and so she knows where my hands are at all time and can deliver a swift kick to the shin if I start to babble. God Bless]."

Did he take crying lessons from Agent Orange? Or did his wife beat the @&$& out of him for all his running around?

Herman Cain needs all the prayers he can get. He need them from every bible toting red blooded southern in the Bible belt south; east and west of the Mason Dixon line. That is where many of the Republicans live and that is where Jim Crow was born. And, there is nothing new under the sun. I’m praying for the brother myself and I’m a Democrat.

save your prayers for those that deserve saving. When the cabin pressure drops makes sure everyone and all the dogs traveling in the cargo hold have their masks FIRST before you help criminal like Herman Cain.

That point has come and gone. Your family is damaged by this fiasco. So when are you getting off the train?

When he earns enough money from the scam and the book.

If I had the $$ I'd buy all of the books and pay him forever to just stop now.
