VIDEO: Cain Re-evaluating Campaign Following Recent 'Character Attacks'
GOP candidate speaks with supporters, press at NH campaign headquarters.
Herman Cain says he's not dropping out of the presidential race, at least not yet.
The former Godfather's Pizza CEO, a few weeks ago a 2012 GOP frontrunner, has seen his campaign take some serious hits of late amidst allegations of sexual harassment and a longstanding extramarital affair.
Despite the distractions, Cain, speaking with supporters and media at his New Hampshire campaign headquarters in Manchester tonight, said he's currently re-evaluating his run and refuses to make a "knee jerk reaction" in response to "character assassination."

"They keep coming after me," said Cain. "After that latest firestorm there were some people who thought that I was finished, but ... It ain't over till it's over, and it ain't over yet.”
Cain said he's had many discussions with his wife concerning the allegations and will sit down with his family later this week to determine the next step. He'll also evaluate the impact on his supporters and spend time analyzing his campaign funding, he added.

"A few of our warm-weather supporters have, you know, gotten off the Cain train," he said, "but the good news is many of our solid supporters are still on, and once we clear up this most recent accusation, I think a lot of people will see it for what it's worth worth."
