Cain, during speech, reveals Sunday night routine with his wife

By Alicia M. Cohn - 11/29/11 08:07 PM ET

Herman Cain, who said Tuesday he is "reassessing" his presidential bid, shared a personal anecdote about his relationship with his wife.

A feisty Cain delivered a foreign policy speech at Hillsdale College in Michigan on Tuesday evening, interacting with the crowd and repeating his popular campaign slogans including "9, 9, 9" for his tax reform plan. In sharing a story about the use of "in God we trust" on television, Cain said he turned to his wife in the kitchen one night from his spot in an easy chair.

He stopped in response to laughter in the crowd, saying: "What? That's what we do in our house on Sunday, I sit in the easy chair and [my wife] prepares dinner!"

He went on to say sometimes he prepares dinner and she sits.

Cain on Tuesday told his staff that he is “reassessing” his decision to remain in the race for the Republican nomination, leading to speculation that he might drop out of the race for the GOP presidential nomination. Cain has denied he will drop out of the race despite a month of accusations that Cain sexually harassed several women in the mid-90s. On Monday, new allegations by an Atlanta businesswoman surfaced claiming she and Cain had a 13-year-long affair.

Cain's wife Gloria, who has maintained a low profile so far on his campaign, gave a televised interview in his defense.

"You hear the graphic allegations and we know that would have been something that’s totally disrespectful of her as a woman," Cain told Fox News earlier this month. "I know the type of person he is. He totally respects women."

Cain has denied all allegations and maintained on Tuesday that he has no plans to drop out of the race.

"The definition of reassess is: To consider again, esp. while paying attention to new factors. Doesn't sound like dropping out," Cain's team tweeted prior to the speech.
