Folks,

Let’s get real, even if his wife forgives him and encourages him to continue his campaign, Herman Cain isn;t going to get the nomination.

That’s just the reality.

“Herman Cain isn;t going to get the nomination.” Could you please explain to me Clinton, Gingrich, the Kennedy family, etc.?

Close the curtain on Cain. The show is over.

He has been destroyed the Chicago way and by letting the MSM run this country is why it is going to hell.

At this point, I agree with your assessment.

The only route to the nomination for Cain goes through P.I.s finding proof positive that one or more of the accusations is flat false (meaning in the case of the settled sexual harassment claims that the "harassment" was something only shrill feminist harpies would regard as harassment) and finding a money trail that implicates the campaign of an opponent or a well-healed supporter of an opponent (whether Obama or another GOP contender).

Were that to happen, Cain would be back, probably with better numbers than before.

The trouble is, given the international situation (the Euro-crisis, Syria, Iran, the Islamist winter that's coming around after the Arab spring), however much we like him on domestic issues, it's not clear to me that Cain should get the nomination. Quite frankly his failure in having formulated foreign policy positions before the campaign or to be quick study on foreign policy once it became clear it was his weak suit during the campaign, hurt him more in my estimation than any of the accusations regarding his relations with women would, even were they proven beyond a shadow of a doubt before a jury of his peers.

It may be your reality. It is not mine. The problem you have—yes you—is that thinking Tea Party conservatives do not trust RINOs like Gingrich, Perry or Romney to fix and secure the country.

I’d prefer a conservative candidate without sexual baggage. But I’ll take Cain over the RINO clowns even if any of the “gotcha” nonsense sticks. I’ve been donating to Cain and will continue to do so.

I must admit you had me going with the ninth bimbo who claims she had a 13-year affair with Cain. But I got over that. Haven’t you RINObots been telling us naive purists we had to be realistic. There is no perfect candidate. Well, I’m being realistic. I’l take Cain warts and all.

I love it when stupid arguments circle back on themselves. Don’t you?

Of course that also means the reality is that the media can still pick our candidate. We’re suckers. We always will be. We should have the chance to choose or not choose Cain (or anyone else for that matter) based on issues NOT media. This whole thing makes me sick. Not just for Cain and his family but for us. We’ll never learn. Can’t wait to see what happens to our eventual nominee. It’ll work then too. Anyone but 0bama? Hardly.
