Pretty sure Herman Cain will indeed endorse Romney (he already did in ‘08, so there’s precedent).
He’s been co-opted by the Establishment now and feels like he’s part of the big boys, so he’ll do his part to curry favor with them.
If you’re right, that answers the question of why Herman would start a new “grassroots” movement when the Tea Party already fills that void. Instead of trying to win over the TEA Party, maybe the establishment will try to marginalize it with a movement of their own. Maybe they think we’ll get excited again and join their new group.
That’s the worst-case scenario, of course. I’d like to believe that Herman is above such reprehensible conduct. If he comes out for Romney, however, I will lose all respect for him.
I sent an email to Herman’s staff expressing my opinion of Mitt Romney and urging him to do the right thing. I doubt it’ll make a difference, but at least I’ve said my piece.
So many really got fooled by ‘ol Hermie- and they’re being fooled by Santorum, the RINO voter.
That’s just flat-out unfair (as are many of the other comments on this thread). It’s pretty obvious you don’t like Cain and also that you haven’t heard him on Hannity or elsewhere lately. He said he wasn’t going to endorse ANY individual but rather an idea/movement. He’s still dedicating his efforts toward BHO’s defeat. Herman was forced out and if there’d been truth to these allegations which magically vanished, believe me, the media would certainly have twisted the dagger by reporting it in detail.
