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.

From his speech at Hilldale, I see in Cain the fire in the belly. After he gets through the mud slinging war, he will be Iron Man. Zer0 will show us that he is the girly boy that he is when the Herminator steps up against him. Cain would beat Zer0 like a tin drum and leave Zer0 in the corner sucking his thumb.

I have said before, all the Republican candidates have warts. Hermain Cain can turn the warts into beauty marks. It is ironic that the infidelity for which Cain is being demonized would not have any effect if Obama were accused of the same charges. Zer0 would be seen as a sexy man with the extramarital affairs as part of the package. People would feel sorry for him and think Michelle drove him to it. His image would go higher with the Democrats.

Cain’s infidelity garbage is directed at the Cain supporters more than the average voter. Most have more concern for a liar than anything. Zer0 fills that bill perfectly. It is the conservatives who do have the concern about moral behavior. They will have to decide to throw off their concerns for infidelity as the sacrifice needed to bring about the defeat of Zer0 with the best candidate forward. By standing firm behind Cain, it would say much about Cain. The American people would value it because it would mean the mud is irrelevant B.S. when people stand behind Cain because they know he has the capability to fix this nation. And Cain would show the American people the liar that Zer0 is. The lying is something the American people do not tolerate.

“Cult friend?” You can’t oppose Romney and Huntsman without attacking their religion? Wow, I thought America was a better place than this.

Is this the train you are referring to? Get off while you still can.

Why not write in Sarah Palin? That’s the route I’ll take if my choice doesn’t make it and Milt Rominy is the nominee.

I couldn’t watch more than 5 seconds of that garbage (Baier). CK has been talking like this about both Palin and Cain so he’s been putting down our most conservative candidates for about 4 years non stop now.

Keep your powder dry friend. I know it is frustrating. We will return full volley on the enemy in due time. Just getting warmed up. It takes a little time.

Please see the man and men behind the curtain, and please don't fall for the MSM negative narrative/character assassination scenario they have ginned up for Herman Cain MONTHS IN ADVANCE and are just now unveiling it in stages right before our eyes.

EAGLES UP.

Just went over our tiny budget, and figured we will eat rice and beans all next week.

So, just sent him $50. I figured that it is just a way to convince him to stay in it, because we need him in the campaign, even if he isn’t selected by the convention. He makes the deems nervous as cats on a hot stove, and that is all that matters to me.

That said, this little old white lady would be proud to have Mr. Herman Cain as our President. It will take the bad taste of the last occupant out of my mouth.

Please, even if you favor one of the other candidates, please support Mr. Cain’s candidacy. We need him in the race. We can afford to wait until our state’s primaries before making up our minds.

It really does not matter what you think of Cain or his tax plan. His campaign donations will accelerate with every orchestrated bimbo eruption.

Ever wonder why Bialek waited for 15 years to surface?
Ever wonder how she can afford a very expensive lawyer?
If you think Allred works pro-bono I got some stuff to sell you, cheap!

Ever wonder why the latest woman turns on him after all the help she has received from Cain who thought she was a friend? Is she a woman scorned?

I think Cain should just very publicly tell her to “prove it

His lack of candidly going on the offense has hurt his credibility in general and with me in particular.
