Just check any major news network. He is talking about a "plan B" right now.

EDIT: He is talking about thecainsolution.com He says it will let the people choose. Something about 9-9-9 bull**** No real details yet.

Still denying all sex scandle allegations.

He is a moron. Once again blaming the media for "spinning" the stories of the allegations. Spinning? You mean reporting what all these women have said? Then he reveals some stupid website and follows it with quoting Pokemon again? Troll.

This is not unexpected; a turnaround for his campaign seemed rather unlikely.

Cain was freaking terrible. No knowledge of foreign affairs and his 9-9-9 plan would be awful if ever implemented. Huntsman is the only republican canidate that isn't freaking terrible.

Yeah, because a guy who knows jack **** about politics is going to do a better job than Obama. I'm by no means an Obama supporter, but I would never vote that clown into office. Actually, I would never vote any of the current republicans running for president. And that Gingrich guy... whenever I see him, I see the spawn of Satan.

MSNBC is nearly as bad as fox news. Tuned into CNN right now. Cain sucks, Huntsman is the only non-moron, non-sleezebag, republican canidate. (of course because I don't subscribe to moronic tea party philosiphies I'm obviously and ultra liberal :roll: )

Pretty sure his denials and lying, his admittance to giving some of these women money, the amount of accusations, calling one early in the morning, and eventually suspending his campaign are more than enough proof that he is guilty of something. Plus it doesn't matter. It isn't the medias job to not report potential stories that could be important in an important election. It isn't "spinning" if all they do is report what these women have said.

His divorces have no affect on my views of him, the same way Cain's supposed sexual harassment allegations do not. I oppose these people for legitimate reasons -- mostly political.

At least he dropped out instead of sticking around and making a further joke out of the Republican candidate pool. Now if just everyone else could drop out save for Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman we might actually have a decent election.

First important post in the thread. Unfortunate. Apparently Cain is to endorse someone in the near future.

Not surprised, I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt with the first accuser, but I find it hard to believe that however many women it is now are all lying. He was running out of steam anyway and wouldn't have had much of a shot even if all of these accusastions hadn't happened. He was never more than a flash in the pan, or a flavor of the month anyway.

I just find it incredibly sad this is the main reason why he had to suspend his presidential campaign. The real reason should have been because he's an incompetent fool, incapable of leading this country.

I'm not really sure why you feel that way. Such scandals are nothing new in politics, nor is public opinion falling because of them new.

On a personal basis, I thought he was okay, but the allegations troubled me, and I damn sure didn't want to have to pay an extra $2,700 in tax over and above what I would pay on a $30,000 car. Paying 9% extra on everything you buy is bull, glad he's out of the picture, let him charge it on pizzas.:lol:

In all other news, the Republican primary has become 54% less interesting. With Cain, Perry, Trump, Palin and Bachmann all out of the picture, it's almost business as usual.

Question, ladies and gentlemen: Who do you think Herman Cain will endorse?

In 2008, he endorsed Romney -- and so far, Romney has taken the lion's share of presidential endorsements.

However, Gingrich I think is slightly more aligned with Cain than Romney.

What say you?

Moreover, do you think a Cain endorsement of Romney, or any other candidate than Gingrich for that matter, would be severely detrimental to Gingrich?

But it also significantly increases Obama's likelihood of being reelected. Kind of a gamble, though.

I suppose Cain probably provided a stronger final act than Santorum could, but I could be wrong.

"Suspending" a presidential campaign worked so very well for John McCain. Don't see how this is anything other than brilliant news for Mr. Cain.

I think it's a different sort of suspend, though, considering the political circumstances. He's supposedly set to endorse.
