Once leading in the polls, Herman Cain announced moments ago he will suspend his campaign for the Republican nomination. More to follow as this story unfolds here and tomorrow in print editions of the New Hampshire Sunday News.

Just watched the live announcement.
Either his wife is a saint or a great actor! She stood behind him with a smile on her face, applauding the whole time!

The damage is done, whether founded or unfounded, doesn't matter. The media anal probe for Rep. candidates takes another one.
Unlike Dem. candidates that get a pass. Maybe he should have consulted Slick Willy or James Carville for PR and damage control in the beginning.
Vast Left Wing Conspiracy,... ::)

Hi;
Regardless if he had a good chance of getting the nomination or not, this goes to show you just bad the political fighting can get. Everyone has "skeletens" in thier closet, but after many,many years later - all of a sudden people come out of the wood work?
Some of my formers girl friends would like to have a field day with me if I ran for anything, and it would be just like today - her word against mine.
I was a Ross Perot supporter and if he would have hung in there - he would have won, but he backed out also and I was deeply pissed.
-
My statement implied that I thought he'd done something wrong.
That wasn't my intent. I agree with TW, he was screwed by the media and those pulling the strings of the President!

A socialist/commie black man with no record and dubious credentials is applauded by the masses...
A conservative black man with a long history of great accomplishments and a verified life-story is vilified by them asses.
We may have become "post racial" in American politics. But the lamestream media remains "currently stupid."
A good man has been taken out of the fight. It is a shame that this was allowed to happen.
Sheesh,
Crusader

Sure might answer the question of why Colin Powell declined to run in any capacity.

I think a Cabinet Position would still work, Like Sec. Treas. compared to the KNOWN tax evader and current Sec. Treas. Timmy Geitner, he could be a shoe in.
After the media hype dies down, and 2012 comes in, it may be wise to consider "a position" for Cain of some capacity, for two reasons:
1) He is still a businessman, from outside the beltway who gets it.
2) Just to piss and make squirm any remaining Dems after 2012...
::)

Could Cain be this generation's "Gary Hart"?

What did either of them do that effected their ability to serve as a good president ?
Getting laid ?
I'm sure JFK or FDR would be surprised.
It's media BS, the vote is for President, not Sainthood.

Which generation? Those of us that give a crap or the youngsters? He kept things interesting, I don't care about the rest of that crap!
Gary Hart, though well educated, was an idiot!

For the Liberal mantra, banging (or getting BJ's with bimbo's) earns points, (ask Bubba or Anthony Weiner, or Client No. 9)....for Gary Hart, on the "Monkey Business",..(a boat I worked on,...he was just a player and a puppet.)...and a nobody.
Cain at least carries a track record of success earned the old fashioned way. While Hart was a wannabe insider playboy.
JFK, would give a wink and nod, and given Cain a Cabinet position. And so it goes....
-
The wife and I watched it all live, had to take a shower after the announcement. Cain's biggest problem was being black and conservative, imagine him on a ballot opposing a milato Salinski-ite and you'll understand why he couldn't be allowed to continue.
Drive-by Media should be shamed into financial bankruptcy so that it matches their journalist ethics. ...where's the fickle finger of fate emoticon....
Put Cain in the Supreme Court just to piss them all off!

I'm talking about how Gary Hart seemed to be "the ONE" in the media, go vertical in the polls and then crash and burn.
BTW, it's long known JFK was a philanderer....

No sh!t Sherlock, why do you think I used that example ?
FDR had a long term mistress as well, she, not Eleanor was with him when he died.
Hey TW, did you know "Monkey Business" was not only the boat used in the ABSCAM sting, it was also used in an FBI undercover operation.
If you used the head I hope you lifted the seat or it will be in your file, that sucker was WIRED.

Must have missed that part, Tom; sorry about that. Hate to break the news to you but not everything you post I read or pay attention to.

Yes I can understand how you may have missed that it's been common knowledge since the 70's that he was banging Marilyn Monroe and the girlfriend of Chicago's mob boss. ::)

We actually had to sign a non-disclosure document after working on it. That boat was/is hotter than the American Embassy's during the Cold War for bugs.
I used the fwd. port head once,....I'm sure my urine is still on file......just another list I'm on..... :P It's still just an 83 foot Broward.
I can still go to Home Depot and fix anything electrically on the damn tub... ::)
She's been in Nassau for a while,...quite a history for an old Turnberry Isle party boat...The electronics and nav systems had some "additional" taps,...and antenna's with UPS power supplies, but that's another story... ;)
Cain never chartered it though.... ;D But Donna Rice was hot back in the day,... ;)
