Dear Friends,

Today a friend who sacrificed much in the effort to lead our great country suspended his campaign. I want to wish Herman Cain, his wife Gloria, and the entire Cain Family the very best and God’s blessings as they move forward.

Herman Cain’s appeal was that of a Washington Outsider – someone not beholden to the entrenched Beltway interests, and who hasn’t spent his life cutting deals at the expense of conservative principles.

As the race goes forward, with the Iowa Caucuses 32 days away, I am truly the only Washington Outsider left in the race. I haven’t served a day in Washington – either in Congress or as part of an Administration – and I am not the hand-picked choice of the Washington Establishment. I am simply a conservative governor who has led based on my strong faith and conservative values, and will chart a conservative course for our country.

In crayon? Was it in Spanish?

Who wrote this?!

GO HERMAN! GO HERMAN! RAISE CAIN IN 2012!!!!

I have NOT yet given up the fight.

[fieldmarshaldj]

FAIL.

[varina davis]

Sweet. Rick Perry has class.

[lahargis]

Nice letter. Pretty much a very poor upbringing. Tells it like it is.

[MNGal]

I thought his campaign was under suspicion of aiding in the smear jobs. Was that theory ever substantiated?

[MNGal]

Perry supporters, please don’t crucify me for asking that question.... :-)

[magritte]

No, that was a falsehood from the Cain camp, although not from Cain himself.

It’s a lovely letter!!

[World'sGoneInsane]

Was that theory ever substantiated?

No, it was not.

I'm not fan of RINO Romney, but he might challenge that statement Rick. He has not served in Washington in Congress or in an Administration. But, then, Rick you were the guy who called the Attorneys General at the Forum Sat. night "Attorney Generals". And you admitted on Greta's show the other night, that you incorrectly thought the voting age was 21; not 18. Your ignorance and your memory lapses have become expected.

I won’t support any pro-ILLEGAL alien candidate, be they named Gingrich or Perry.

[maine-iac7]

Pitiful letter - no class a’tall.

[no dems]

I won’t support any pro-ILLEGAL alien candidate, be they named Gingrich or Perry.

Would you please consider Rick Santorum?

I am a Newt supporter but Perry does show class in sending this letter despite the false charges Cain made against him. Cain accused Perry of being behind the smear...it was a false allegation and yet Perry graciously sends him a decent letter.
My letter to Cain would have been...bout time

As important as this particular election is, I think all candidates should be given due consideration and even reconsideration before making a decision.

I will (try to) keep an open mind at this point.

But would a presidential candidate at least pretend to want this country to return to the glory days when we had sound money, and respect for the Constitution? When we were truly the land of the free?

[South40]

Of course. I’m undecided but it’s between he and Bachmann.

[Kartographer]

Why wouldn’t the Cain supporters go to Perry? After all the Perrybots have always been so courteous and civil to Cain supporters.
