So Long, Herman Cain

  • 28 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

We predicted our final post about Herman Cain would not be long in coming. USA TODAY:

Herman Cain says he is suspending his presidential campaign because of the “painful price” stemming from allegations of an extramarital affair.

Cain says he hasn’t given up on America.

“Life can be a challenge. Life can seem impossible. It’s never easy when there’s so much on the line. But you and I can make a difference,” he says. “There’s a mission just for you and me. Just look inside and you will find just what you can do.”

Use this thread to reflect on “The Herminator’s” time as GOP frontrunner. It was too brief.

  1. Had to cross post as I was so sad.

    The Cain Train just officially derailed.  Now I  have to go back to Perry for my one liners.  I am going to be very sad for a very long time missing Herman.  

    Oh never mind I am over it already.  

    As Sondheim so eloquently wrote in 1973 about the GOP 2012 Field:

    “Send in the clowns.”  

  2. Is he isn’t toast because of the policies he proposed that were so stupid the other GOP candidates called him on it. He isn’t toast because he apparently knows nothing about national security, other countries, etc.

    No, that was all fine. It’s that he had a 13 year affair. The sexual harassment at work was apparently ok, but not a 13 year affair.

    What the fuck is up with GOP primary voters?

  3. since he won’t be a candidate. But, in his own fantasies he is hoping to be asked to be a VP choice.

    Back to selling books. Except he’ll find now that no one will want them.  

  4. I believe that being a liar is a plus in this year’s primary contest among republicans.  we may see cain back.

    I predict he will endorse newt because he and newt share so many of the same values.

  5. Wasn’t there a pollster years ago on Coloradopols whose user name ended in “godlikequalites”…..

    As irrelevant as he was obnoxious….

    I can’t remember his full name…it is all like a fog…as were most of his postings….vague and verbose.

    could he have returned, incarnated at “scottwalker..etc?’

    Does anyone remember?

  6. Cain announced he is “suspending”, not ending his campaign. Might his narciccism be telling him he can fire it up later when Gingrich folds? If he actually endorses someone that will be to get the VP and would signal the real END.

  7. The sexual escapades made his Republican credentials, almost to the Newt level. He was never going to be white enough for the KKK/Birchers/Birthers/far-right/Republicans to win.
