Don't expect Herman Cain to endorse any of the Republican presidential candidates before Tuesday's Iowa caucuses

Cain's campaign manager, Mark Block, tells The Associated Press that Cain hasn't seen in any of the GOP candidates the commitment and resolve to make bold changes to put the country back on track.

Maybe Cain has already picked a candidate to endorse, but he just can’t remember who it was.

"If Romney wins Iowa and NH, my guess is Cain will jump on the bandwagon."

Then you are a bad guesser, my friend. Romney is the least bold per Cain. :)

THIS Newt person doesn’t want Cain to endorse Newt.

The longer he waits, the less it matters.

The problem is no candidate has said the magic words...

9-9-9!

I know, I know..

He continues to raise funds via “friends of herman cain” and he still retains his campaign staff, but he isn’t running.

He needs to have an excuse to give the wifey for when he goes on “business trips.”

CAIN forfeited his endorsement influence when he dropped out of the race.

I am endorsing Perry 2012

Oh, who cares? I find it hard to believe that any of these endorsements would matter. If you can’t make up your own mind and you need another politician to tell you whom to vote for, you’re lost.

Cain recently told Hannity that he would have a big announcement in January that would “blow this race wide open.” I haven’t forgotten that, and I’ll be watching. I’m betting it’s just more hot air.

‘I’ve about had it with this guy.
At least the other candidates have the commitment and resolve to stay on the race.”
___________________________________________

You and I have had our disagreements on some of these threads (I'm a huge FORMER Cain supporter), but I totally agree with your assessment here.

Cain let the media play him like he was their bi*ch. I lost a good deal of respect for the man. I supported him financially, and defended him and his record in public. He thanks us by quiting and making us look like schmucks.

Thanks Herman, but I could give a rats arse which candidate a quitter endorses. Now please just go away.

Knew Cain would not endorse Perry as his campaign blamed Perry in the beginning for the “allegations” against him. Never thought he would back Newt...imo ..the man is an opportunist. Also, I believe Cain will get a job with Faux News

Kind of a brown nose towards Romney.

I don’t care who Cain endorses. I find them all just as unacceptable as I found him to be as a candidate.

All I can think to say is..."Cain, who?"

Sit down and shut up, Mark Block, et al.
