But unlike Cain, Newts dirty laundry is all OLD news and everybody already knows. Guess what? Nobody cares. When push comes to shove, even the evangelicals will forgive him because he did seek out God and has led a reformed life for the last 15 years. Can't say that about anybody on the opposite side. That's what will bring us together and what will bring Obama down. That's how Newt can run up these spectacular numbers with a puny staff and paltry funds. Everybody knows the score. All the Newt bashers on FR should recognize that and just get with the program now or you'll simply be helping the other side give Obama another term. That's the threat. Disaffected "conservatives" like that loon Ron Paul and his followers who will cry and scream and pout and he'll run third party and THAT will be our downfall.

I actually don't care much about Cain's sex life,or anyone else's for that matter. I can get past that,if the person who wants to lead my country cares about the job,wants to keep us free,prosperous and safe,and respects the Constitution.
What turned me off from him was the way he and his campaign people handled it.This has less to do with the "elites",the "MSM" or any of that,and more to do with how Cain conducted himself in the days following the revelation.
First,he comes out with a two-minute denial.Then,the revelation of the pages of late-night texts and phone calls.
How does he respond? Well,okay,yes,he KNEW her during that time,but he was helping a friend.
Then,more interviewing of the accuser,and Cain comes out swinging with....well,okay,so I KNEW her,and I helped her,but my wife didn't know about it for 13 years,and my wife believed the explanation I gave her.
WHAT?

His response to the entire fiasco has been wishy-washy,poorly executed and woefully inadequate.
Cain ruined himself-with a little help from the media.
Now,you can flame at will,say i'm a (insert candidate's name here)bot,whatever. But it is what it is.Cain screwed the pooch on this one.

Cain’s fund-raising exploded when the first fabricated charges came up. The media knew that the same thing would probably happen again unless they introduced doubts about whether Cain was going to stay in the race.

It’s all been calculated just as surely as x’s and o’s on a basketball coach’s play plan.

I've been on FR for a long time, and through several elections; this time, as usual, there are the "one-trackers" who vow to sit it out, or quit the party, or move overseas, or some thing or other if their guy/gal doesn't win/get nominated.

While that was a viable choice in the past - and I have declared it myself, but wound up voting for McCain anyway to keep obama out...didn't work.

There will never be another election as important as this coming presidential election.

It is my opinion that the chavez/castro wannbe that now occupies the Oval Office will attempt a major takeover if elected to another term.

As a lame duck he has nothing to lose by letting out all the stops and becoming "king" obama in a new socialist America.

So, I don't care if Larry the Cable Guy is the GOP nominee, I will support him to get rid of obama.

If there was ever an election to get rid of the guy you don't want, this is it.

I don't like Robot Romney, nor do I care much for whiny Ron Paul, but whichever one of the candidates that gets nominated will have my vote.

Those who are viewing this as "just another election", are not paying attention to what obama has done to America in just three, short years. Give him four more, and America will never emerge from the malaise.

He offers "freebies" the dependent class, but they are generally too stupid to know that whenever he gets his "regime" solidly entrenched, he'll cut off everyone.

obama is only for obama. He has the useful idiots in the unions, the blacks, and other far left groups salivating over promises to handouts and bailouts...but that will end as soon as HE NO LONGER NEEDS THEM.

So those who are narrow-minded or selfish enough to "stay home", or "quit the party", go ahead...but you will be a direct party to the demise of America by aiding and abetting the Criminal-in-Chief achieve his socialist/marxist goals.

He might even be hard to get rid of even if he loses the election, as he has developed such a divide in the nation along the lines of color, and social status, that we may never become fully "united" again.

What has happened to Cain is sad, but when you step out into public life, your life becomes public. I don't believe these women who have come forward, but it's hard to put the toothpaste back into the tube.

This coming election is not American Idol, or a football game, or any such even that will recur and give the loser another chance...if obama wins the election, I don't think we'll ever have another election in America.

I expect the MSM to start the slime machine on Newt soon (next week).

Newt had more than one. One of them lasted years and was in-your-face, he attended church with his mistress.

The man has always been unreliable in every facet

Bachmann, Santorum and Cain are getting politically lynched.

When you run inept campaigns you get ignored as well you should. This is the big leagues; not some High School Student Body Presidential election.

I liked him very much but always his answers on foreign affairs bothered me and also his campaign was run by amatuers. He cannot go toe to toe with Obama. I think, he should endorse people like Santorum.

For life of me, I just don’t understand why people are so reluctant on santorum. Conservatives don’t have to close their nose to vote for him

“Not a chance. The media will tell them it was the racist Tea Party crowd that brought him down — just like they are telling us today that he can't possibly win. If they succeed in convincing us that he can't win, how could they fail to convince the liberal mental giants that we took him out?”

Yup, the media had this planned and set him up 13 years ago./sarc

Absolutely right. A black caller to Hannity a couple of weeks ago (he was a lib) said that if Cain drops out, it will be due to the racism of the Tea Party. Amazing how the left gins up the story, stokes it, and then incredibly turns around and blames the right.

And we buy it!!

It’s also a huge difference that this is a primary, not a general election. If this was a general election, people would have a yes/no decision as to whether they believe Cain, and whether it matters enough to not vote for him. In a primary, it’s just much easier to support someone else, and avoid having to make that call, and avoid hearing about it for the next year.

It's the way Cain handled it, as well as the way he denied any and all of it, then we later find out that there was more truth to it than he would admit.

Newt's past was over 20 years ago, he admits he was wrong, asked forgiveness, but more importantly, he openly admitted to what he had done and regretted it and took responsibility for it.

Cain made excuses and tried to shift all blame at the media. There is no tolerance or excuse for his lack of integrity.

I hope at least some black people noticed there was a viable black republican candidate before the MSM took him down.

His run was short, but for a time it sure looked hopeful.

Cain's saga serves as a cautionary tale about how being in the solitary presence of someone of the opposite sex can later land you in trouble, deserved or not; fairly or unfairly.

Cold and businesslike always should be the rule. NEVER, EVER comment on appearance unless it's in a general nature pertaining to corporate dress code. Refer those who seek help -- monetary or otherwise -- to agencies equipped to do so. For God's sake... don't insert yourselves into their lives.. ever. If given the right incentive, people will run you through with the long knives no matter what you've done for them.

I will be praying for him and for this country. I support him and hope he keeps fighting.

If you have a chance to give a message to Cain, could you please pass this along, with a reminder that God has spared his life for a reason?

“When Esther’s words were reported to Mordecai, he sent back this answer: ‘Do not think that because you are in the king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape. For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?’
Esther 4:12-14”

I really hope he doesn’t, but would understand if he did.

He is a decent, successful man, far too nice to be hanging around in the snake circles of politics.

He could be added to the list of great men that should have been president. Americas loss, the worlds loss.

What does surprise me is that everyone who is dropping their support for Cain for his possible affair is moving to Newt who definitely had one.

if i end up moving to newt, it won't be over the affair, it'll be because Cain blew it and newt ends up being the only viable non-romney.

He’s quitting because his campaign is in a shambles, and has nothing to do with allegations or the MSM, but do the pure and simple fact, he has no clue what he’s doing.

His campaign derailed long ago, and it had nothing to do with allegations of impropriety it had to do with the simple fact this guy isn’t up to par, doesn’t have a clue what he is doing and would be an abject DISASTER in the White House.

How anyone, anyone, can honestly try to argue that someone with no political experience or success is somehow capable and qualified for the most important political job in the world is bind boggling. That’s like arguing, I need a Pilot for my 800 passenger airplane, hey Joe, you’ve been a very successful bus driver, but you have no flying experience, but that’s ok, because you can drive a bus so here you go, pilot! IDIOTIC ARGUMENT.

I like Cain, he’s seems a nice enough fellow, but this guy has no business at all anywhere near the Presidency. He’s flubbed basic policy questions, can’t handle being taped when questioned?? Really?? You are bombing on softballs not gotcha’s. And you think this guy could handle a national campaign???? IF this guy was the nominee, Obama’s second term would have been guaranteed before the confetti hit the floor at the RNC convention.

This guy is not remotely ready or capable of doing the job, and unlike 2008, when the press carried water for an incompetent boob, he didn’t get a pass. Thank God! The world cannot afford another person who is incapable of doing the Job.. The Presidency has steamrolled over Obama because he’s not man enough for the job, and it would have steamrolled Cain as well, and the world would be worse off.

Just because someone has an R beside their name and tells you what you want to hear, does not remotely mean they are able or capable of delivering.

Cain, Bachman and Perry were all disasters waiting to happen.

There are and always have been only 2 candidates in this race who are remotely capable of DOING THE JOB, and winning a general election. For good or ill those two are Romney and Newt. I wish there was a stronger candidate to the right of both of them that I felt could do the job, but there isn’t. That’s reality of 2012.

Cain is and has been white noise for weeks now, its long past time for him to go home. Maybe win a few elections, accomplish something in the political realm and maybe you can come back and try again some day.

Welcome to the United Soviet States of America..where the Pravda State Media “vet” the candidates to the pleasure and needs of the RinoCrat UniParty.

This “election” will be a non-election...featuring the state approved “candidates”-whose only distinction is whether they are black or white.
