I like Cain and I guess he’s now my 1st-choice, but in a way I can’t really bring myself to get excited all that much in his campaign, because I have the distinct feeling he’s going to get deep-sixed before long. Doesn’t he have thousands of hours of radio-show material, which all sorts of out-of-context snippets could be taken? Plus, Cain has had a terrible tendency to let the media lure him down right down their garden-path. Seems to really portend trouble down the line.
If you like him and he represents your values, support him, or he will be so much easier for his foes to attempt his downfall. Why hang around to see if he makes it a bit further? Help him make it further.
