Spokesman says Cain withholding an endorsement

Don't expect Herman Cain to endorse any of the Republican presidential candidates before Tuesday's Iowa caucuses

Cain's campaign manager, Mark Block, tells The Associated Press that Cain hasn't seen in any of the GOP candidates the commitment and resolve to make bold changes to put the country back on track.

That could very well leave a few marks.

Cain is an opportunist. He will endorse Romney

I haven't either.

Could be no one wants Cain's endorsement. Cain pulled this same stunt in 2000 and then I think he endorsed Forbes.

Wonder how his NEW BOOK sale is going.

Could be. Wouldn't be the first time.

Yeah, but....that’s how he’s been from the beginning. An offer to be vp or Secretary of Defense gets an endorsement real quick. He was never running for POTUS.

Herman who?

He made a similar announcement a few weeks ago.

He’ll endorse the eventual nominee.

Way to lead, Herman.

I’ve about had it with this guy.
At least the other candidates have the commitment and resolve to stay on the race.

Why is Mark Block still around?
Is Cain running or not?!

“I haven’t either.”

Well, I sure have. Anyone who thinks they can lead this country better than one of these candidates needs to step or shut up. These guys have put everything on the line. They have risked their futures. My candidate is a sitting governor. I’m sure he weighed everything before he stepped into an arena to be ridiculed. The one thing that is clear is that they all care about our country. Hermain Cain is a quitter. He didn’t want to be scrutinized for the sake of his beliefs. He just wanted to be loud and picked.. Who cares who he endorses?

Well, he has endorsed Romney before.

I thought Cain said he was going to endorse soon when he dropped out of the campaign? I'm guessing he decided it was better to back a winner and withhold his endorsement till it becomes clear who the likely nominee will be. If Romney wins Iowa and NH, my guess is Cain will jump on the bandwagon.

Absolutely he’s back mitt. He never did know how to pick ‘his friends’ wisely. And he blamed Perry when it was mitt doing the backstabbing. I shuttered when I read that. He’s another one who never went after mitt.

Once again, I agree with Mr. Cain.

Calm down, folks. (Some of you sound like Rombots or the MSM. Same difference.)

Cain has a nice paid gig over at Fox Business News during election week (call it a tryout if you will) and CAN'T endorse quite yet.

Stay tuned.

Err, you still don't know? Cain "suspended" his campaign. Suspended = dropped out. By using the technical term "suspended" he can still use all that campaign cash to travel around, keep his name recognition somewhat high, pay people like Mark Block, etc. Once he has exhausted all that money people sent him, then Block will disappear and we won't hear much from Cain anymore - at least till he gets a higher profile radio or TV gig.

Oh, so NOW he decides to keep his thoughts to himself. Shoulda thought of that 20 years ago, Herm.

Just kidding! I still love Herman Cain. I just couldn't resist.

Considering that all these turdblossoms, to the last man, let Cain twist in the wind when the 'rat hate machine swung into action, I see no reason for him to endorse any of them either.

Cain is being remarkably restrained in not telling the GOP to take a hike.

This was anticipated. And Newt’s people said Cain was endorsing Newt!
