BREAKING!! Aide: Herman Cain will stay in the race

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.

Good news for Gingrich!!! I have recruited several votes for him locally. The next debate is Dec. 10th...should really be interesting. BTW...have noticed that Romney has that “deer in the headlights” look lately.

"You remind me of McCarty in the early 50s."

It's McCARTHY, ok genius?

His comet came and went in the space of a few months.

Sounds like you're the one who needs to read up on history, McCarthy was a force to be reckoned with, and a consistent foe of Communists in government during both of his terms from 1946, his re-election in '52, until his death in '57.

What shot it down was one brave man who refused to be intimidated.

Oh bullshit. Are you talking about Joseph Nye Welch, or the mouthpiece for CBS, Edward R. Murrow?

You should read up on history.

Physician heal thyself. You can start by reading up on the Venona transcripts, containing Soviet-bloc communications intercepted and decrypted by the United States, which established that Senator Joseph R. McCarthy was 100 PERCENT RIGHT, and his detractors (and you too) are 100 PERCENT WRONG.

Get back to us after you educate yourself on this topic.

Nope—I don’t think that way at all. Any political donation I have ever given has been considered a crap shoot, as far as I’m concerned.

It’s a real poser—they have to have money to run, the longer they are in the running, and the more it looks like they are gathering steam, the more crap people will either dig up or make up about them.

I think it’s the way the game is played. I don’t particularly like it—but it’s the only game we have......

Miss her yet?

Like you wouldn't believe.

Newt is the MSM’s nightmare. They will smear and attack him on their tv shows, radio or papers..but when they deal with him one on one..he waxes them.

Sorry- it was-but I didn’t see your posts. Here’s some potential good news.

1. Time has new blog- “Cain stands and fights”—An email issued today disputing charges.

2. He registered in both Kansas and Nevada primaries late this afternoon.

You misunderstand... I am disappointed with his campaign in the last 24 hours. I am still behind him, check my posts. But he can’t allow the media to guide the story like it did today. Many Cain fans, including me, spent much of today on FR defending Cain while his campaign released the vague “reassess” announcement and a couple of twitter posts. It left us out there in the breeze. He could have made the statement about staying in much earlier today.

Thanks for that info.

We don’t have enough to spare 10$ every week, (retired, sick husband), but will send in $10 as often as we can spare it.

[chilepup]

I agree. People are going to be surprised by the results of these elections

[katiedidit1]

Have to wait and see on the most recent accusation. I am reserving judgement on this one. That aside...I do not care for or Cain’s 999, 909 or 333 plan. He needs to consult with someone on foreign affairs and get rid of Brazil. I seriously doubt he will ever be the gop nominee.

God bless and keep her and her precious family safe from the haters and vicious lamestream and back-stabbing GOP-E that never once stood up for her.

I had wondered for a bit why Sarah didn’t get in the race.

Now the answer is crystal clear.

You know, I have made so many mistakes in my life. Doing the right thing, for me, almost seems like a chance error >_>

If I was to ever run for president, the only way I could even think of addressing my life is to say-

Everything you have heard or will hear about me is true, I did it all and then some...

But that’s just me, and I know that Mr. Cain is a much better man than me.

[Jim Robinson]

Well, now that you bring him up, at this point it’s either Cain or I write in Mickey Mouse.

[ken5050]

As you know, I always respect your viewpoint, but where your analysis breaks down, IMO, is that the establishment..both GOP and DEM..doesn't now, or ever..considered Cain the main threat..so why take him out.

I gave him a pass on the earlier claims, and was willing to overlook his somewhat unprepared responses...indeed, I learned long ago that the MOST HONEST person is the one who, in response to a question, tells you "I DON'T KNOW..but I'll find out and get back to you very soon..but there seems to be a fair bit of evidence to give some credence to the latest claim, like all the texts, many in the wee hours of the morning.. and the fact that when she texted him, he called right back...well..sorry, but that makes no sense unless there IS an existing relationship.

Candidates are SO busy, so tightly scheduled..and their private cell # is so closely guarded ..otherwise they' dget thousands of calls, texts, tweets every day..and they'd do nothing except look at their cellphone every time it rang or vibrated.

I hope that he can explain/justify this..but right now, it's incumbent on HIM to do so, to my satisfaction..a mere denial just won't cut it..

“So they find a homely black women who is unemployed and trot her out. Cain, as a Christian, apparently gave her money over the years. She was probably hoping for more than money along the way. Didn’t pan out.”

I read in an email that she was a Mormon. Don’t know if it’s true... but should be easy enough to verify. BTW, did you know you could become a Mormon with out knowing it - even after your dead?

[Guenevere]

Thanks for the great news!

[Polynikes]

This is just an observation but it seems all the accusers have come from the time he was CEO of the NRA (National Restaurant Association). His career has spanned multiple organizations and companies but all the women who have come forward are from one place only. I find that odd insomuch as he is being labeled as a serial philanderer by the media and therefore unfit as a candidate. I guess BJ Clinton or Reggie Love don't count.

[PapaNew]

Your thoughts are close to mine on this.

[Guenevere]

What is WITH you????....Have you been abducted by aliens?....this doesn’t sound like the old ken!

[AmericanInTokyo]

As we used to say on FR in the old days EAGLES UP!!
