the question pre-supposes that Cain was actually running for President.

Spoiler: He wasn't

Is there a handy way to report users? Cman has posts the same spam in every single thread.

Oh! Oh! Oh oh! Mista CotAIR!

I love that Arnold Rorschach.

FishyFred: The accumulated filth of all their sexual harassment and murder of foreign policy understanding will foam up about their waists and all the lobbyists and politicians will look up and shout "WHO BENEFITS!"... and I'll look down and whisper "The lulz."

/Fade to black.

Bravo!

I hear everything in Professor Farnsworth's voice.

Who benefits? How about who cares?

Hmmm...I'm going to go with "humanity."

Calista benefits ... she never farked Herman

We need a strong black conservative leader of the free world. Who else will face the problem of a China seeking nuclear weapons?

I really don't understand why everyone has jumped onto the Newt Gingrich storyline on this. It seems much more plausible that Rick Perry (and yes I know he has been beat up like crazy), would be the most logical candidate for people who liked Herman Cain. What people like about Herman, at least it seems, is that he is a simplistic, genuine guy, Newt for all his general craziness doesn't have those qualities at all. Rick Perry is still in this race and it fits his MO better to leak information like this, just look at his mudslinging race with Hutchinson this past election cycle.

The GOP is going up against a democratic candidate strong on defense with solid family values. In order to defeat that they need someone that can pile on the BS high and fast. If they cannot do that well enough to make it through the primary they have no chance.

The other negro.

cman: We get it. He's black.

Why do you keep shiatting up all the threads with this?

GAT_00: Really? People are really going to swing from the candidate who died because of sexual misconduct and switch to the other candidate with a gigantic history of sexual misconduct?

This is why the GOP needs to be destroyed.

This isn't exactly limited to that particular party

I say we lock them all up for our good.

If the race ended at the GOP convention you'd be right. However, their nominee is going to have to debate Obama.

Don't tell such scary stories, Rick needs to go away

LMAO, since it started, the NBC Nightly News has had a fire alarm going off in the studio.

Yeah I know but we are talking about Herman Cain here, he has the same sort of glaring problems that Rick Perry does. It just seems to me that the type of voter that finds Herman Cain appealing would find an easier jump to either Rick Perry or Bachmann then Gingrich. Gingrich is like the smarter quasi intellectual type, whereas the other two exude that every-man vibe that Republican primary voters seem to love.

he's right though. I tend to agree that people will forgive Rick's debate stumbles. I can forsee a scenario where Rick Perry comes alive in Iowa and becomes the man to beat in South Carolina. Rick's not out yet. He should be, but then, I'm not gonna go broke betting on the stupidity of the average GOP primary voter.

Is it Ubeki-beki-beki-stan-stan?

If that damn fools moves from Austin to DC I'm going to be very cross

/what, eat my hat, I like my hat

I really can't see him winning the general election, though crazier things have happened, even the primary would be a bit much for him. I just think the current media narrative on Gingrich gaining from Herman out is a bit off. Gingrich IS surging and has taken voters from Herman's block, but I think the people that are in Herman's camp still are aren't going to jump en masse to the "Professors" camp. We will see though. I am loving this Republican primary, it's a slow moving, horrible train wreck and it couldn't happen to nicer people.

Just proves the most important qualification is "not Mitt Romney.'

Sabyen91: cman: We get it. He's black.

We get it. You blow sheep.

Hey now, don't knock that until you try it.

I prefer to ask the question in Candlejack's voi-

Damn, the racists are finally doing Cain in. Too bad, really. I thought race relations were improving after the election of President Obama,

Riche: You would think we as a nation would have learned by the multiple and still ongoing disasters of the Bush administration-- DON'T put a crazy political hack in the White House.

I know it's been said a million times, but compared to the Cains and Bachmanns of this world, Bush seems like a great president. Yes, he said some incredibly dumb shiat but this current crop has already opened more cans of stupid sauce just campaigning then Bush did in eight years. It's nothing short of frightening that anyone would trust these people to lead the nation.

But they're out there.

Don't blame me, I voted for Charlie Rangle for president

I LOLled.

/especially at imagining Brian Williams going completely nuts during breaks, running around the studio screaming, "I get paid millions of dollars to talk to millions of people and somebody needs to fix that NOW!" and then sitting back in his chair and smiling as the camera turns back to him. And the claxon.

Is the Rorschach voice the same as the Christian Bale Batman voice? Because that's all I can think of now.

It's like what Lenin said...you look for the person who will benefit, and, uh, uh...

/I am the walrus.

he's "reassessing" his candidacy

What's to reassess? He was never supposed to go this far in the first place. This was always about selling books and increasing profile. It was never about a serious bid for POTUS. It was about trying to lure a few black voters into the GOP fold after thirty plus years of the Southern Strategy, vote denying schemes, caging scandals, openly racist push polls, etc etc ad nauseum have led to a wide spread and not entirely unfair perception by minorities that the GOP has been and continues to be the more openly racist of the two parties. Cain never had anything resembling a national team on the ground, his money was never there, in short, his campaign was never real.

That all noted, there is a certain sadness that comes from contemplating the end of Cain's nom bid.

The candidate was never real but the lulz were.

Gonna miss those.
