As I posted on another thread.

Cain was weighed, measured and found lacking. You may indeed give the MSM exactly what they forgot to bring down Newt, but it will not save Cain.

I wanted Sarah to run, and was disappointed. I posted comments like Palin/Bachman, because a mess this big will take 2 women to clean. When Sarah bowed out, I had hopes for Perry ... which lasted until about 30 seconds into the first debate. Pawlenty and Santorum had some good points, but both were willing to destroy other R’s, so I (and most others) wrote them off. Quite frankly, I wrote Newt off in May and I liked Cain as the last man standing ... but I feared the country would not accept another rookie as President, I feared his lack of foreign policy experience, and I really started to question the strategy of the 3rd 9 (national sales tax) without eliminating the federal income tax.

Cain has proven he is indeed a rookie, and it is not that I believe the accusations, it is that upon looking at his postions, he is like a loaf of bread that has not even been given time to rise, let alone go in the oven. He needs experience, and that experience needs to be in some elected office other than President. His day in the sun is over, regardless of the outcome of the accusations.

If not Newt, who? Ron Paul? Please ... good economics, but not just lousey foreign policy ... the guy is friggin nuts. Hunstman ... the guy for those who think Romney is too conservative? Or is one of those who cant even get a mic at the debates going to make it to the top? The fact of the matter is, whether you like it or not, it is now Newt or Mitt. Period.

Now ... do you want Romney? Because that is what you will get if you push to destroy Newt. As someone else said, the MSM does indeed monitor us to get thier stories. Go back and look, and you will see the knives the press uses ALWAYS show up here first. We even know some members of the press who post or lurk. Stop being a baby and throwing a tantrum.
