BREAKING!! Aide: Herman Cain will stay in the race
The State Column ^ | Nov 29, 2011 | Staff

Posted on 11/29/2011 3:06:48 PM PST by Jim Robinson

After reports surfaced Tuesday morning that pizza magnate Herman Cain is reassessing his 2012 Republican presidential nomination bid, POLITICO obtained a statement from a Cain campaign spokesman regarding his candidates’ consideration of dropping out of the race.

“Yes,” the campaign spokesman said Tuesday when asked whether Cain would “definitely” remain in the race.

The clarification comes after the National Review Online released statements that Cain made in a conference call with campaign aides Tuesday morning. During the call, Cain made the following statements, “We have to do an assessment as to whether or not this is going to create too much of a cloud, in some people’s minds, as to whether or not they would be able to support us going forth,” Cain said.

Can he prove a negative?

If he can prove that someone is putting these women up to this, he wins big ...if he cant prove it ....the campaign slowly dies.

A lot of people have already moved on to Newt. With Cain staying in, it may only help Romney by splitting the conservative vote.

Even if Herman Cain may not gain back the front-runner position, he will help keep the others honest in this race.

Also, this will test the proposition, whether an American of African origin is to be considered on merit alone, or if the snipers from the Chicago Thug Machine will come out enough into the open to make themselves targets.

Because just about all the fire directed at Cain is coming from one source, David Axelrod, who is part of the crew that has tame house “folks” in their stable, and would very much like to keep that stereotype going.

“I hope he sticks around Jim. Im sticking with him if he does...”

I don’t think “sticking around” will do it for him...he needs to play a little smash mouth politics here... SOMEBODY has a blue dress...make her come up with dates, receipts, checks, something. Then it’s a win. “Sticking it out” won’t even get him a draw. I’m not saying he has to beat the snot out of her...but put her in a corner and make her put up or retract. The game is definitely on and there can be no draw.

Just kidding, ken.

How sad since Newt is almost identical to Romney.

Thank you, I appreciate this news.

I have to say, watching what’s been going on with Herman is ripping me up on the inside.

This is just disgusting.

God be with you and your family, Mr. cain.

No, I’m an hour away and the weather is nasty. If I had known about it before last night I would have made plans to go.

(William Tell Overture in the background - Apologies to Spike Jones)

It’s a beautiful day for the race
Mittens is the favorite today
Santorum is in there
Newt is 3 to 1
Palin has been scratched
Ya ya
And at 20 to 1 ... Huntsman

Now the horses are approaching the starting gate
And there they go!!

And it’s Mittens going to the front
Perry is second on the rail
Bachmann is third by a length
And ... Huntsman

Around the first turn
Mittens is still in front
Cain is second by a head
Cain by a head
Perry is third
And ... Huntsman

Into the back stretch
Cain is now leading the pack
Mittens is second, very close
Newt is coming up through the bunch
Newt coming up through the bunch
And ... Huntsman

At the half
Mittens still out in front
Newt is second with plenty of room
Bachmann is passing Santorum
Bachmann Santorum
Perry is fourth
And in last place by 10 lengths
I believe it is, yes it is ...
Huntsman

Around the turn heading for home
It’s Mittens and Newt
And Perry in the stretch
Ron Paul is third
And Bachmann nagging in the rear
Oh oh oh

And now they come down to the wire
And it’s number one
And now number two
And it’s very close
There’ll need to be a photo finish
Or an oil painting
And now Louis leads with a left
And Louis is in there slugging
And it’s a battle
And now they’re tearing hair
There’s hair all over the ring
There’s hair all over the place
I don’t know whose hair it is, ah ah
It’s mine

And there goes the winner ...

INSTRUMENTAL

Huntsman
