“It is one thing to support Mr. Cain and to be disappointed that he chose to withdraw his candidacy.”

Cain did not withdraw his candidacy. He suspended his candidacy. Big difference. I have a feeling that once a thorough investigation of the sources of the slurs is done, he may come back strong.

He did say prior to the suspension that he had people involved in investigating the accusations.

I would love to see him come back roaring.

I agree with your thoughts. "Suspension" can mean many things, but (in my mind too) it doesn't NECESSARILY mean "end" (a campaign). A Gingrich/Cain ORCain/Gingrich ticket would suit me fine. (Although either a Bachmann or Santorum as the nominee would also be suitable for me too.)

Mr. Cain’s candidacy is finished.

He says that it is because 100% untrue charges are causing unacceptable grief to his family.

I don’t buy this.

I think the overwhelming likelihood is that there is at least some truth to Ms. White’s charges.

Mr. Cain was already struggling before Ms. White went public. When he made his announcement on Saturday I was watching live and hoping that he’d stay in and fight back. He did not. Based on what I saw, I believe that Mr. Cain thinks that his association with Ms. White (when added to his other shortcomings as a candidate) renders him unelectable.
