BREAKING!! Aide: Herman Cain will stay in the race
The State Column ^ | Nov 29, 2011 | Staff

Posted on 11/29/2011 3:06:48 PM PST by Jim Robinson

After reports surfaced Tuesday morning that pizza magnate Herman Cain is reassessing his 2012 Republican presidential nomination bid, POLITICO obtained a statement from a Cain campaign spokesman regarding his candidates’ consideration of dropping out of the race.

“Yes,” the campaign spokesman said Tuesday when asked whether Cain would “definitely” remain in the race.

The clarification comes after the National Review Online released statements that Cain made in a conference call with campaign aides Tuesday morning. During the call, Cain made the following statements, “We have to do an assessment as to whether or not this is going to create too much of a cloud, in some people’s minds, as to whether or not they would be able to support us going forth,” Cain said.

Cain has 1.9 million volunteers.

He just announced 900 precinct captains in Iowa.

There are Cain supporters than there are news anchors - if all of us are loud enough, we can turn the tide.

If we can’t, we have become a banana republic.

Looking more and more like they are bearing false witness.

Here’s his tweet from 20 minutes ago. “Team HC: The definition of reassess is: To consider again, esp. while paying attention to new factors. Doesn’t sound like dropping “ @THEHermanCain

Good deal. Showing this sort of spine is exactly what primary voters want to see in a candidate.

That’s just plain dumb. So you think its my job to defend myself just because some clown accuses me of something? You’re confused. It’s the accusers who must prove their charge. Anyone with a brain gets it. But then I have to take into consideration people like you are Perry, Romney or Gingrich bots. Or, you could be simply a demrat lurker.

Ya’ll have gone to the politics of personal destruction well once to often. You remind me of McCarty in the early 50s. His comet came and went in the space of a few months. What shot it down was one brave man who refused to be intimidated. You should read up on history.

Pinging the Cain Train

_________

Dear Patriots and Supporters,

As you probably heard yesterday, a troubled Atlanta business woman used national media outlets to promulgate a fabricated, unsubstantiated story about a 13 year affair with me. I am writing you today to assure you that this woman’s story is completely false.

I do know Ms. White. I have helped her financially at times over the past few years, just as I have helped many friends and acquaintances throughout the years. I thought Ms. White was a friend in need of a supportive hand to better her life.

Ms. White has made it apparent that she was abusing the friendship.

But now I am asking for your friendship. I am also asking for your prayers and support. This is a trying time for my family, my campaign, and for me. It is also a trying time for our country as we are all distracted from the truly important issues facing our nation.

This evening I have an important speaking engagement at Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan, where I will be outlining my foreign policy and national security plan. While recent events have taken a toll on me, the people in the audience this evening will not know it. I will deliver my message with vigor and enthusiasm.

Let me assure you, I am not deterred. America’s future is too important. We will continue on this journey to make America great once again.

Thank you and God bless.

Sincerely,

Herman Cain

Interesting Article:

Former Business Partner: Ginger White Never Mentioned Herman Cain

The female bodybuilder who once ran a bicycle business with latest Herman Cain accuser Ginger White says the Atlanta woman never mentioned the Republican presidential candidate, who she says was her lover for 13 years. "His name has never come up," said Kimberly Vay, who told ABC News that she and White were former business partners.

But Vay, who filed and won a libel lawsuit against White, refused to comment directly when asked whether she considers White's accusations about Cain credible. "When you see the details of my lawsuit," said Vay, "they will speak for themselves."

I will NOT vote for the RINOs Romney/Huntsman/Perry or the nutjob Paul.

I'm sure that will allow you to feel very high-minded and self-righteous about yourself. I will vote for any of them, or Daffy Duck, if he runs against Obama.

It really is Cain at Hillsdale. It is mis-labeled. Imagine that...

That’s why it’s important to beat these scum by sending Cain money. In the end it’s the money that will talk.
