Herman Cain Suspends Campaign

It means his campaign for President has ended. He said he is going to endorse a Republican candidate in time for the primaries.

 

I believe he made a decision for his family. They have been through alot of dirt whether it was his doing or not.

 

I have told my two children

I have told youth that I preach to over and over and over again

If they REMOTELY THINK they will run for any sort of political office in their future------to keep themselves morally and ethically PURE!!!

To run their office and all future campaigns as if they were Jesus Christ Himself running for that office!!

Cain had an opportunity of a lifetime----and he blew it!!!!!:tonofbricks::BangHead::tear:

 

If he was still in front he wouldn't fold.

Why did he run in the first place? I guess he figgered if Slick Willie could get elected, so could he......

....i don't know, them people are in a whole different world from mine, it seems. i could've never run if i had that kind of indescretions in my past, i just don't think the same way those people do...

 

Assuming the allegations are true, which still remain in question.

 

If I had someone to be afraid of, at the bottom of the list in the Republican Primaries include the following four:

Michelle Bauchman
Rick Santorum
Herman Cain
Rick Perry

The only ones I think may have a chance in a General Election include

Mitt Romney (he can raise money)
Ron Paul (we could get some liberals and conservatives to vote for him)
Jon Huntsman (listed by some as the one candidate most likely to beat Obama).

Cain, in my mind, was about as much of a threat to him as Mondale was to Reagan.

 

Q1- I believe the answer to be yes.

Q2- No idea.

I don't know if these recent allegations were true or not. I guess I am inclined to doubt it, based on evidence (lack of) and the background/reputations of the accusers.

It smells of a political smear job.

 

I'm curious how you came up with Huntsman. It seems the only ones who actually wants him to get the nomination are the lefties and Obama.

 

No surprises. Cain's lack of reply to the first and second accusers sealed his fate with this decision.

Too bad, seems he had something to say. The media was out to get him. That is plain and simple the way it was. He got got.

We'll never know how many of the accusations are true. Makes me remind our staff that any appearance of impropiety is damaging enough.

 

In my opinion Cain did not get into this campaign to become president. It was to get better name recognition in order to increase sales of his book. He never imagined he would be a front-runner and was not at all prepared to deal with it.

Now, instead of ending his campaign, he has suspended it. This gives him the ability to still be heard, still gives him some media access to remain visible.

Noting boosts book sales like more exposure.

 

I do not know about the liberals and Obama, but huntsman is probably the most consistent conservative among the entire field with the exception of Ron Paul.

I mention him because has the most experience in a variety of roles than anyone else in the field and he is a good communicator. He does not come across as kooky, and he is extremely articulate and a chief executive. His past would be harder to run against than Romney and Perry. He has an economics background with a proven record, but he also has foreign policy experience that dwarfs the rest of the field.

I don't think Obama wants to face him. One of the reasons most gave for Huntsman's appointment as ambassador was to get him out of the way for this election period.

I am not voting for him, but I think he is better than any other the other candidates besides the one I endorsed. I disagree with him on several issues, but I respect him.
