Cain's Wife Votes Democrat

Her husband is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, but Gloria Cain votes Democratic.

Georgia voting records show Herman Cain’s wife has voted in Democratic primary and runoff elections numerous times since 2000, the Atlanta-Journal Constitution reported Friday.

In 2008, Gloria Cain voted in Georgia’s Democratic presidential primary, which Barack Obama won.

In 2004, she cast a ballot in the Democratic presidential primary in March, but then voted in the Republican primary in July, when her husband was on the ballot as a candidate for U.S. Senate, the paper said. Cain lost in the primary.

Whatever her personal politics may be, Mrs. Cain has always been her husband’s staunchest supporter, said Matt Wylie, Cain’s campaign manager in the 2004 Senate race.

“There wouldn’t be a Herman Cain without Gloria,” Wylie told the Journal-Constitution. “She was always there for him, always there to keep things together.”

The Cains have been married for 43 years. Gloria Cain has not commented publicly on recent revelations that two women accused her husband of sexual harassment in the 1990s, while he was head of the National Restaurant Association. Cain denies the allegations.
