ms. white's situation is. and again, perhaps these are the questions since she decided to come out and voluntarily make these accusations that mr. cain has denied, don't you think you ought to have her answer these questions and then if she provide you with proof and facts, then you and i can have another discussion and perhaps along with mr. cain and then this would be fair to make him answer the similar type questions. until that based on unproven accusations that there's no obligation on his part to do so. >> i understand entirely your position. let me ask you one other thing. ginger white said that basically she had flown around the country many times in the 13 years to hook up with mr. cain and they had enjoyed rendezvouses in hotels and restaurants and so forth. clearly, that is a matter that can be examined. i am i'm sure there are reporters finding that out now. are you 100% certain that she never ever stayed in a hotel room with herman cain or came to meet him in a city where they had dinner together,
