Buford state lawmaker endorses Cain

ATLANTA - The only woman in the Georgia Senate is throwing her support behind presidential hopeful Herman Cain as he faces allegations of sexual harassment.

State Sen. Renee Unterman, a Buford Republican, endorsed Cain on Wednesday.
Unterman said she has known Cain for years and praised his ``strong character, integrity, and problem-solving capabilities.''

She is the fourth state legislator from Cain's home state of Georgia to back the former Godfather's Pizza executive, and the first woman.

Cain has been accused of sexual harassment by four women. Two of them filed sexual harassment complaints against Cain while he was head of the National Restaurant Association,

In 2004, Unterman's estranged husband accused her in a civil complaint of striking him, threatening his life and firing a gun, according to court documents.
