New Herman Cain accuser emerges – Has the Cain train veered too far off course?

An Atlanta businesswoman is accusing GOP presidential hopeful Herman Cain of having had an affair with her that lasted nearly 14 years.  

"I was aware that he was married, and I was also aware that I was involved in a very inappropriate situation - relationship," Ginger White told Atlanta television station WAGA. But in an interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN's "The Situation Room" Monday, Cain said he knew White as an acquaintance, but flatly denied that they had an affair.

Huntsman: 'Failure is not an option' in New Hampshire

Former Utah Governor and 2012 GOP presidential candidate Jon Huntsman is trailing badly in the latest polls. But he has some credentials his fellow GOP competitors can't match. 

Huntsman has significant foreign policy experience; he once worked in the Obama administration as the U.S. ambassador to China.  And he had the chance to show off his foreign policy chops in last night's CNN national security debate.

Today on American Morning, Jon Huntsman talked with Carol Costello about why GOP primary voters are giving him a second look and why he believes a failure to win in New Hampshire "is not an option." He also addressed questions about whether his father contributed any money to a superpac for campaign ads in New Hampshire.
