Where On Earth Is Cain's Wife?
Where On Earth Is Cain's Wife?



You'd think she'd be needed at a moment like this. But Gloria Cain, thus far absent from her husband's campaign, will soon meet the press "in an exclusive interview that we are currently planning and anticipating." Alex Pappas tried to profile her last spring:

It’s hard to find much of anything about Gloria Cain on the Internet. Her only mention on Herman Cain’s campaign website is in his biography, where he says, "the paramount joys in my life are my wife, Gloria, our children and our grandchildren." "She’s very private and classy,” said Martha Zoller, a Georgia-based talk radio host who often talks about Cain, but admitted she’s only met his wife once.

Cain said his wife is a native of Atlanta who graduated from Morris Brown College in 1968. He graduated from Morehouse College in 1967. "One month after she graduated from college, I swept her off her feet — we knew each other — and we got married a month later," he said. They have a 39-year-old daughter and 33-year-old son. They also have three grandchildren. Though she has worked as a teacher and a librarian, Cain says his wife — who sings in the choir at Antioch Baptist Church North in Atlanta — has been a homemaker for most of their marriage.

3. I'd be surprised if we hear so much as a single syllable
from Cain's wife about the sexual harassment deal. If it doesn't get mentioned, it never happened, yunno.

4. If you have to describe someone as classy, they probably aren't.

6. "I swept her off her feet" speaks volumes about his ego.
I wonder if that's how she characterizes the event.

7. Maybe she has some self-respect and is staying away from the a-hole? nt
