At this point a vote for Cain is a vote for Romney.
Cain is finished. How many of us men have given money to another woman without our wife's knowledge or consent? And to do it for 13 years because she was a "Friend"?
Cain can put all the lipstick he can find on this pig, but it is still a pig.
Cain has repeatedlly stated that he is a problem solver.
Well, he’s got a few problems here HE needs to solve.
One is a lousy campaign staff and handlers who aren’t helping him out of this mess, if he is able to be helped. The other seems to be an inability to extract the proof needed from his accusers to free himself of these allegations.
Can he do anything about either one? Time will tell. If he’s really innocent of it all, I pray he can.
And that is true of the other candidates as well. Their polling numbers are not going to turn around. The only one who hasn't received a shot at the prize is Santorum. The others have had their day in the sun and blew it big time: Bachmann, Perry, Paul, Cain, Pawlenty, and even Huntsman if you count the enormous visibility he had as ambassador to China.
Perry needs to save his money for his senatorial bid. He is young enough to have another shot at this. A senatorial seat and some national level experience would do him a world of good. I would love to have his voice in the US Senate.
“At this point a vote for Cain is a vote for Romney”
Not yet. Right now a vote for Cain is a vote for Cain. Cain should not bow out prematurely to due media pressure. Let the electorate have their say in the early primaries and at the appropriate time I’m sure Conservatives will rally around the best viable choice as determined by the electorate and not the media or RINO establishment.
