1. Did you consider waiting a few days to make sure that he doesn't drop out of the race?

2. If you make a contribution, and Cain does drop out in a few days, do you expect that he will return your contribution? Will you feel cheated/disappointed if he doesn't return it? Will you ask for it back?

While I personally think that Cain should, and will drop out of the race, I have always indicated support and admiration for him. And I can relate to those who are passionate about his candidacy, but I'm having trouble grasping why you wouldn't want to wait a few days just to be sure?

1. I’m guessing they’re sending donations to ENCOURAGE Cain to stay in the race.

2. I’ve seen very few national candidates return their donations.

Because it is a tangible way to show our support, and is sends a message to his detractors that he is still in this.

A probable reply... Donations cratering will only precipitate Cain’s withdrawal.

Which comes first? Chicken or the egg?

If we keep supporting Cain then he won’t drop out.
If Cain drops out on his own, we will stop donating.

I guess I'm having trouble grasping why this would bother you.

Obama wrecked our best candidate using the Chicago way.

If Cain drops out, it will be a signal to the liberals that they can make up anything about a conservative candidate to drive him out of any race.

What are you going to make up about a liberal in response? “He burns fossil fuels in his spare time. He owns stock in Exxon.” Yeah, how far will that get us?

“These people” sorta condescending isn’t it? Regardless I have always had a tendency to back someone and I am loyal until I know I have been purposely deceived.

I have a question for you; If all these woman came out tomorrow and admitted he had really done nothing and they were part of a conspiracy to frame him, would you feel that the support he has lost is unjust?

I like Mr. Cain, if he is innocent, which I think is very likely, what These People have done to him is outrageous but then again everything they will do can be called outrageous. When winning is your only goal and ethics don’t even come into play one bit, then all we have is shenanigans!

I hereby declare SHENANIGANS!

If you wait, some other candidate that you don’t like will take advantage of this drop in momentum.

1) Of course I wait to see if he is guilty, or if he will drop out. These might be unrelated points.

2) If he lied, yes I want my money back.

He remains innocent until some hard evidence comes forth.

Interesting combination of condescension and fear in your questions. I'm sure the other repub candidates all feel the same about Cain— you know, that he “should” drop out and that they have the “greatest respect” for him.

Why should he drop out? Because we allow the press to define who a candidate is? Is there any validity to a lie of this type, anymore than Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and the farce high tech lynching that was foisted on him?

Cain knows how to market himself— which is a far cry from the wimp butt RINOs who think they should be nominated, and who cannot and will not beat obama. Cain can beat obama, and Cain says what needs to be said about obama, and.... Cain is a real American (a real Black American to the rather large black constituency that can relate to him from many political persuasions). This removes two major objections liberals have to anything negative about obama— it comes from a true black man, and doubly this man is a conservative— which really frosts their cookies.

This is all very clever rovian inside baseball— this “he should drop out” crapola. A lie, is a lie— and this is a modern era of people who can tell what is what, and can tell an idiot bimbette with a lame story (even the morons at the mall and the 24/7 TV watchers). Deo Vindice.

Think about this -

Liberals can rely on one thing, that conservatives have moral standards, while liberals do not.

In the case of Cain, do you not think they would exploit it relentlessly with baseless charges that Cain can only repeatedly deny?

It’s the perfect strategy, unless the liberals are caught.

I am a Cain supporter. He is my first choice. 2a and 2b are Gingrich and Perry respectively. I have purchased yard signs from the Cain campaign, not sure if that counts as sending him money.

I will not be sending him or anyone any money from here on out as I am pretty broke and while I have backup candidates, they aren’t anyone I’d care to support financially.

I believe that anyone making a contribution to Cain right now must understand that he may drop out and they are not owed a refund as they knew the score when they donated their money.

Your presumption is that the MSM reports are true, or that you believe the adage that where there is smoke there is fire.

I do not trust the MSM to tell me anything truthful beyond the time and the weather, and I'm still on the fence about the weather.

I believe in the adage "where there is smoke, look for mirrors first," when it comes to the MSM reporting on GOP politics.

I'd like to see actual proof and not just more allegations.

Here are a couple of questions for you:

1. What are you afraid of?

2. What do you care who anybody supports?

I do not stop supporting a candidate because DNC operatives so easily find lying trollups who are happy to slander a conservative in order to gain fame and possibly money for doing their evil deed of smearing a good Christian man.

Remember, dems believe killing not yet born Americans, is a “right”. They lose no sleep at all lying about Herman Cain and causing him and his family trouble.

Would those who are so happy to revel in Cain’s troubles with liars, like to see us have another RINO on the repub ticket again? Really?

I’ll be sending in my 4th contribution to Mr.Cain tomorrow.

I will never regret it.

Well I liked Cain, but my support for him has dropped. Barring legitimate indications that the affair allegations where made up, I won’t be supporting Cain in any manner.

It’s not because he had an affair. It’s not because he hemmed an hawed about it when it came to the surface. It’s about if he did have the affair, why didn’t he just get it out of the way before throwing his hat into the ring?

I don’t understand. It’s such a simple strategy — get all your bad news out of the way up front, then any support you build afterwards if rock solid.

How can you run for such a high office, and not consider the skeletons in your closet.

You support him and you want him to drop out of the race?
