Open Letter to Herman Cain

Dear Funster,



I am writing to encourage you to stick out the campaign and not just because it's fun to watch you vamp when all kinds of things are spinning around in your head.



I can't help but think that the latest revelation of your relationship with Ginger White speaks highly of your character. First of all, as a woman over forty, I am just so happy to hear you've been romancing a middle-aged lady. Score one for us! Unlike your fellow Republican candidate, Newt, whose (latest) wife was his intern when he began his illicit affair with her, your lady was well into her 30's and you stuck with her. Kudos to you for adultering with an adult.



The fact that Ginger refers to you as "fun and exciting" speaks volumes. To be linked with someone for thirteen years and still have them refer to you in glowing terms, is truly an achievement. I've been married for 15 years and the last time I said something as nice about my husband was well before the 10-year mark. Look at how short lived the nation's love affair with Obama has been? You've clearly got staying power.



Furthermore, Ginger says you spent lavishly on her. This is really good to hear. I live in CA, where our governor entertained his housekeeper in his wife's bed, where, presumably the lady had to change the sheets afterwards. First class travel, expensive hotels, gifts -- you've set a great example for stimulating the economy.



Lastly, Herman, you really are the most "intriguing" candidate. The only thing Mitt Romney keeps under wraps are his Mormon undergarments, but with you, you're the gift that just keeps giving, every day you add to "sort of humdrum" campaign. So, please, don't break up with us.
