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.
Christine Romans talks with conservative commentator Tara Wall and Republican Strategist Karen Hanretty to about if these newest allegations could effectively end Cain's campaign.

* Right now, U.S. markets are on track to extend yesterday's rally. The Dow, Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures are trading higher.
* Markets are up in Europe this morning as investors are optimsitic that leaders will get it together and fix the region's debt problems. This even after an ominous warning out from Moody's. The ratings agency says the current debt crisis is threatening the credit worthiness of every nation in the European Union as well as more than a dozen of the region's largest banks.
* There's new evidence that Washington's inability to reach a debt deal is going to hurt all Americans. The credit rating agency Fitch affirmed America's AAA credit rating but revised its outlook to negative. That change means the agency sees a greater than 50% chance it will downgrade the country's AAA rating within two years.
* Cyber Monday turned out to be more popular than ever this year. Early estimates from IBM show sales were up 18% from a year ago. Another research firm predicts customers spent around $1.2 billion dollars yesterday.
