Why suspend no quit? Does it have to do with campaign finance laws and using the money?

Yes, having a GF and running for president is not a very smart thing for a REPUBLICAN to do.

In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.

Well,damn.

Somebody start producing Election Day Barf Bags.

No one quits this early, there are too many legal issues with the donations. By suspending, you can manage transferring donations and resources to a PAC w/ out campaign finance issues. It also allows for unexpected changes in in the storyline.

Unlike John McCain, at least he suspended his campaign while there are other candidates to choose from, instead of leaving the Republicans with no candidate while he runs to vote for the TARP ripoff.

Plan B is Vice President Cain. He said he will have an endorsement announcement shortly. That will clearly be Newt. Plan B will be to have Cain be the Vice President. He will have plenty of time to learn the ropes for 8 years under Newt.

This is all a blessing in disguise.

I see ignore all the facts and just cling to a convient media manufactured lie.

Hmm, I say you are an Obama troll.

Prove you aren’t a political scumbag?

OH NOW you want the standard to be “innocent until proven guilty”

Sorry since you refuse to use that standard in Mr Cain’s case , you can no longer claim it for yourself.

I don’t know, but I just took my Cain sticker off my car. At least it was easy to get off.

I’m disgusted. He’s a quitter.

Suspend? Why use the word suspend if he is dropping out, or ending his presidential run? Do we know for certain?

I no longer care and will simply vote Democrat in 2012, so that they can finish destroying the nation as they want too.

Cain as VP would be a mistake.

Whom ever the GOP candidate turns out to be, they should choose a young vibrant solidly conservative VP. Let the VP slot be the training ground for our 2020 candidate. Mr Cain would be wise to stay an outsider like Palin.

A young solidly Conservative VP would be the best gift any GOP candidate could give the conservative movement

I could live with that even though Newt is not my first choice; but, I doubt if two Georgians on the ticket has the appropriate political balance. However, if it gets the Muslim traitor out of the WH, it works for me.

Any man carrying on a 13-year affair who decides to run for president is stupid if he doesn’t announce the affair up front.

Cain was stupid.
