In a conference call this morning, Herman Cain told his senior staff that he is “reassessing” whether to remain in the race. He told them he will make his final decision “over the next several days.”

Funny that he's doing this at the same time another sex scandal breaks. Trying to focus headlines anywhere but his crotch.

"You had your 15 minutes of cashing in on the gravy train and was a nice quoteworthy distraction for the media...Now step to the side as we get the next clown up..."

That explains why the fleabaggers liked him so much.

“Now, with this latest one, 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.

“Over the next several days, we are going to continue with the schedule as usual,” he said. “I’ve got a major speech tonight at Hillsdale College on national security and foreign policy, and I will deliver it with vim, vigor, and enthusiasm. And then tomorrow we’ve got some media appearances scheduled. So we’re going to continue until we complete our assessment over the next several days.”

“But if a decision is made, different than to plow ahead, you all will be the first to know,” he said. “So until that time, I want to continue to thank you all for your support, thank you for your prayers. It’s taken an emotional toll, but the people in the audience tonight will never know it.”

“It’s also taken a toll on my wife and family, as you would imagine,” he concluded. “Any time you put another cloud of doubt, unfortunately, in the court of public opinion, for some people, you’re guilty until proven innocent. And so, the public will have to decide whether they believe her or whether they believe me. That’s why we’re going to give it time, to see what type of response we get from our supporters.”

so it's good news for the Grinch and some other loony.

I understand that anyone who actually believes they're the best candidate for 'leader of the free world' has got to be an egotistical asshole of some sort, but Cain really takes it to another level.

Someone called Cain a clown and said his candidacy is more an entertainment that is keeping a more serious candidate like Huntsman from getting coverage. They made it seem like Cain's withdrawal is a fait accompli.

Then Alex Wagner took us one step beyond to the outer limits of the twilight zone when she said that Gingrich is a serious candidate whereas Cain is not. She said "Gingrich has a mastery of the issues, a mastery of history." Some Republican must have written Wagner a big fat check because I don't remember her being a conservative mouthpiece before she got her show.
