Derailed "Cain Train" still coming to OKC Monday night

OKLAHOMA CITY -- As expected, GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain has officially dropped out of the race for the Republican nomination as a growing cloud of doubt and suspicion hung over him in the wake of numerous allegations of sexual impropriety.

But despite his decision to drop out, he is still planning to appear at the previously scheduled "Victory 2012" rally on Monday evening at the Oklahoma City Marriott, according to Oklahoma Republican Party Chairman Matt Pinnell.

Pinnell said, in an email to Red Dirt Report: "While not a presidential candidate, Herman Cain is still committed to helping make Barack Obama a one-term president, and we are thrill that he will still be joining us as our guest speaker Monday night."

I am now strongly leaning towards telling the Republican party they can cram their choice where the sun don’t shine.

Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.

H. L. Mencken

People need to show up in large numbers at this rally and have signs and buttons. Be loud. Let the liberal smear machine know that you are standing up totheir vicious lies and their destruction of a man (whom they mostly regard as something less.)

Cain was struck down for sins of hubris and lust.

There is no evidence to support that. He was brought down by the racist liberal hate machine, which feeds on the personal destruction of its political opponents (like the good little totalitarians that they are.)

Doesn’t the Bible also teach about men being struck down for sins of power and deceit?

I am surprised that “real christains” here havaen’t recognized these sins of Newt yet.

I actually don’ see any spite in that statement. Have you read some of the Newt supporter's comments on Perry, Bauchman, and Santorum or the last 30 days?

Their posts on Herman Cain were cruel, mean and uncalled for on these threads.

However, now that they want to court the supporters of the single percentage candidates the tables have turned.

sorry, but they have been here since Herman Cain, Micheal Bachman and Rich Perry ran into oopsies.

They have been cruel and relentless.

Now they want Newt to be the candidate. A RINO. And conservatives are not convince by a long shot that Newt is The Man. Lots of snarky posts that anyone that doesn't support Newt is crazy, uniformed, an Obama troll, and worse.

The Primaries haven't even begun and it's a long way to the nomination. Could be a brokered convention or a third party break out.

time will tell.

Cain only “suspended” his campaign—meaning he may resume it—yet said he will endorse another candidate...
...this a another example of the Cain incongruous oops that have both dogged his run as far as the evil Leftist and treacherous RINO enemies of America are concerned but also endeared him to many conservatives because the innocent goofs further prove he is NOT a professional and corrupt (I know,redundant) Maybeline politician like Newt or Mitt.
When Cain asks we South Carolina Republicans to vote for another candidate we will consider it—but if nothing like that happens and he is still on the ballot,that would be a “wink” from the “suspended” Cain campaign to act as if it weren't suspended.
Cain,Bachman and Santorum are the three conservatives in the race and Cain has the most panache—anybody can beat Obama so let's put one of ours who has the charisma to get things done in the office.
