***UPDATE: Cain will not endorse today***
If this is true, is it more about Newt or about a possible VP spot? After all, he is a Tea Party candidate. Seems like he’d endorse Bachmann/Santorum/Perry more so than Newt:
POLITICO – Fox-5 in Atlanta, the same station that broke the Ginger White allegations, is reporting that Herman Cain is going to endorse Newt Gingrich on Monday.
And Gingrich just added a media availability to his schedule in New York on Monday, suggesting the likelihood the endorsement will be held in Manhattan.
Gingrich was effusive in his praise of Cain while he himself was in New York over the weekend for a town hall event on Staten Island. And polling even before the former Godfather’s Pizza CEO dropped out had suggested Gingrich would be the beneficiary of his support.
But it will give Gingrich a potentially immediate boost of a few more points in Iowa, where two polls over the weekend showed him as the clear frontrunner already at this stage of the game.

UPDATE: via NRO:
Per sources close to Herman Cain, the former contender is not in New York, will not appear at Newt Gingrich’s Big Apple press conference, and will not make any endorsement at all today.
