Video: Cain meets with wife to assess campaign

>> now to the presidential race . we could know later today if gop presidential hopeful herman cain will drop out or stay in. that's because he has an important meeting on his schedule with his wife. nbc's political director and chief white house correspondent chuck todd has details on that. good morning.

>> good morning, matt. as you noted, herman cain today for the first time meets face to face with his wife gloria down in georgia. it's the first time since the allegations that surfaced monday. cain said he will determine whether he decides by this monday to continue with the campaign.

>> reporter: herman cain met with the union leader newspaper in manchester admitting he never told his wife about a 13-year friendship or the money he gave to ginger white who says she and cain had an affair. cain denied that allegation all week. still, he did acknowledge white sent him 70 text messages between october and november but insisted they contained nothing inappropriate.

>> she wasn't the only friend i helped in these tough economic times . so her messages to me were relating to, you know, needed money for rent or whatever the case may be. i don't remember the specifics.

>> reporter: as for white, she continues to insist the two are more than just friends.

>> it wasn't a love affair . it was a sexual affair . as hard as that is for me to say and as hard as it is for people to hear it, you know, it pretty much is what it is.

>> reporter: white said she never met gloria cain but adds --

>> i would be surprised if she is surprised by this. honestly speaking. i would be surprised.

>> reporter: and what would white say to gloria cain ?

>> i am not a cold-hearted person. i am a mother of two kids. and of course my heart bleeds for this woman because i am a woman and being in a situation like this cannot be fun. i am deeply, deeply sorry if i have caused any hurt to her and to his kids, to his family.

>> reporter: as for cain 's future as a candidate, if actions speak louder than words it appears he plans to stay in the race. his sooup pac has an unusual tv ad quoting a lie detector expert.

>> it's time for the truth. the media won't tell you what one of the foremost lie detector experts said.

>> it withe allegations of her saying she was sexually assaulted by him didn't occur.

>> reporter: newt gingrich was quintessential newt making broad assertions while trying to explain how he'd teach young kids a work ethic .

>> really poor children in really poor neighborhoods have no habits of working and have nobody around them who works. so they literally have no habit of showing up on monday. they have no habit of staying all day. they have no habit of i do this and you give me cash. unless it's illegal. what if you paid them part-time in the afternoon to sit at the clerical office? greet people when they came in? what if you paid them to work as the assistant librarian? i'd pay them as early as is reasonable and practical.

>> reporter: meanwhile the other front runner mitt romney flaunted his establishment credentials yesterday. he paid a visit to former president george h.w. bush and first lady barbara bush . the entire first family is staying on the sidelines.
