will Cain quit?

Former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Cain enjoyed a brief reign at the top of the polls, in part because rank-and-file Republican voters viewed him as a refreshing outsider. However, his campaign stumbled when he was accused of sexually harassing several women during his stint as head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s.Earlier this week, another woman, Ginger White, went public with an accusation that Cain had conducted a 13-year consensual extramarital affair with her. She produced phone records that indicated they had been in contact dozens of times. Cain has since acknowledged giving White money to help her through difficult financial times. Cain, however, has denied that he and White had a Cheap Ugg Boots sexual relationship. Steve Grubbs, who is overseeing Cain’s Iowa operation, said the newest numbers from the Des Moines Register’s new Iowa poll are “not good” and are consistent with the campaign’s internal analysis of the state of play there. But he said he believes Cain still has a solid 10 percent support in the state and can finish in the top three in the Iowa caucuses. He acknowledged that Cain is now trailing well behind former House speaker Newt Gingrich and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, after being at or near the top of the field. But he said the campaign’s internal numbers show other candidates were either tied with Cain or running behind. Grubbs said Friday morning he had no inside knowledge of Cain’s future plans and is continuing to focus on the organization in Iowa. “If I could have a couple of drama-free weeks, I think we could get back on track,” Grubbs said.
