BREAKING: Cain ‘Reassessing’ Candidacy

NRO ^ | Tuesday November 29, 2011 | Robert Costa

[Bigtigermike]

In a conference call this morning, Herman Cain told his senior staff that he is “reassessing” whether to remain in the race

[commonguymd]

good post. sums it up nicely.

[Logic n' Reason]

I do remember. He won, TWICE! Do you remember that?

Do I remember??? Of course I do! Puked my guts out each time it happened.

I'm not going to go public with what happened to me when the stain was "elected".

[9YearLurker]

Cain’s not in court and, again, the key person here is probably Mrs. Cain.

[Texas Songwriter]

I heard Mr.Cain referred to as “Spermin’-Herman”. I think you are correct...it is probably over. The problem is, it is still just a he-said-she-said situtation and we will probably never know the truth. That said, there does seem to be a lot of women with similar stories steppin’ up.

[Huskrrrr]

Great points, that makes sense.

[little jeremiah]

As usual, all you have to spew is crap leftist dogma. Your consciousness and viewpoint stink.

[little jeremiah]

You are exactly right.

New tea leaf for Cain Campaign future: Politico reports that Draft Herman Cain PAC’s changed its name to “Beat Obama PAC” inFEC filings.

"Then maybe Herman shouldn’t be sending 60+ text / phone calls to her over a 4 month period. Do you do that to a lot of non-relatives you’re not working with?"

Actually, yest I do. I can think of over a dozen none relatives I don't work with that I communicate with over the phone at least 15 times a month.

I agree completely.

Appears even many conservatives are ruled by emotional investments and not reality. Exactly what they accuse liberals of...

[Jeff Head]

Condone what behavior?

There are very sketchy allegations from someone Herman considered a friend and someone that they had helped.

I believe the case is much more likely that this woman, who has needed help, and has had problems, has now found a much larger jackpot from her perspective and is turning something that was innocent, for the which she has cell phone calls and an acknowledged acquaintence into something much more sordid.

I do not believe that Herman Cain carried on an affair with this woman.

Until there is proof positive of it, I give this one no more credence than the other sleazy allegations that have been made against him.

We will see what he decides. My guess is that this is getting very hard on he and his wife and their family. He may bow out for those reasons, but short of verifiable proof, which burden is on these accusers and which they have not provided a shred of to date, or Herman confessing (which I do not see happenoing because I do not believe he did it), then I will believe him whatever his choice may be.

I will still support him if in the race. It is clear that the left, the MSM, and potentially some in the GOP establishment want to choose which candidate we have going against Obama.

My choice is my own and it is Herman as long as he is in it. I believe a lot of other people will do the same.

Everyone has their own choice to make...but I will not back down under what clearly is flak from those who want to see him out of the race.

I call it as I see it.

Real compasses always point to north, right? That’s why they are useful tools for everyone.

Just by your comments, it’s obvious that our moral compasses do not point in the same direction all the time, right?

How useful is my moral compass to you? Probably not much, right?

So what’s the problem with what I said...other than you don’t like it?

[GOPsterinMA]

“I changed from Republican to Independent two years ago. I live in Mass, where it’s dangerous to be conservative.”

Same here FRiend. I switched after BJ Clinton got re-elected in 1996.

[stuartcr]

12X15X4>60+...you win

[rockabyebaby]

Well put my FRiend, well put. I second it!

[Maryhere]

Hope you enjoy the next four years of BO rule.

[bigdaddy45]

Of the opposite sex? Really? Just friends huh? Happens all the time.

[PAConservative1]

If Cain drops out the only conservatives left are Bachmann and Santorum.

[newzjunkey]

I was enamored with Cain but soon realized that his knowledge of national/international matters were so superficial that he would not make the grade

THIS, not allegations from women, is Cain's downfall. If he'd risen to the occasion in those areas, he'd still be a contender. Given his education and experience, it's inexplicable that he isn't more devoted to learning the issues.

You too! Have fun in Amerika :D
