Why all the discussion about Herman Cain?
FYI: the poll closed before Cain dropped out.
Cain seems to still be campaigning and speaking out, which I don't see the point of dropping out of the race, and then still doing what seems to be campaigning. People have suggested he's guilty of the liberal accusations which is why he dropped out, but I don't see him staying in the public eye if that was the case. They will still come after him, it's just that they lowered their priority for destroying him.
They don't want him to become more popular doing it this way than he was as a candidate. His supporters are very loyal. The democrats still don't want him to start being able to raise money, and have an endorsement that counts for something which I could see in the future. The more success he has the more he will be attacked. They will just focus on Romney and Gingrich at the moment though.
And while he had dropped in the polls, he still wasn't doing so bad that most would have dropped out when he did. It's just a little weird he's still out there campaigning pretty much. I wouldn't doubt he gets the VP spot on a ticket, but considering that's not the most powerful job it's not all that exciting for me.
