The New Hampshire Union Leader interviewed Herman Cain:

Cain said that although he is considering leaving the race, “We weren’t slowing down. We’re keeping all commitments and we’re reassessing several things.

“So, yes, getting out is an option,” he said. “That just meant were 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.

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,” he said.

In the same interview, Cain confirmed that his wife did not know about his long-running friendship with Ginger White — the woman who is now claiming that she had an affair with him for 13 years — nor did she know about his financial assistance to White.
