Fine. But it is demonstrably not dead electorally, and therefore not yet replaceable.
the man who had the best chance of taking out Obama
I agree that the way Cain was treated over those allegations was outrageous.
But under what reasoning did he have the "best chance"?
“But under what reasoning did he have the “best chance”?”
Because he was able to persuade people that we have problems that we need to face.
Have you seen the focus group after the first debate? People are hungry for a real leader.

Cain WON the first debate, blew away the focus groups, (and many of us who have been watching him for years), but the polls and news people barely talked about him!
But when people see him, they love him.
He was at the TOP of the positive intensity scores for many weeks.
After people in this straw poll saw him speak, they wanted to change the votes they had already cast for others, but weren’t able to.

He still stomped Perry, who was also at the summit, 48% to 13%.
He supports the Fair Tax, to take power away from DC, and give it back to the people, so the establishment was trying to ignore him.
He is 10 times better than any of the politicians out there.
What is your position on the Fair Tax?
For months, there was a buildup of the of the Florida straw poll when they assured us that it was “a poll that has historically predicted the eventual Republican nominee for President.”
As long as they thought Perry or Romney would win, they kept talking about how the winner would surely be the Republican nominee.

Cain 37% Perry 15% Romney 14%
We need someone who understands and can persuade others that free people in a free economy is the best system in the world.
