Herman Cain Tells CNN He Will Make “A Decision In The Next Several Days”…
Any over/under predictions?
Dayton, Ohio (CNN) — Embattled Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain is keeping mum on whether he will remain in the race for the GOP nomination.
When asked by CNN if he is vowing to continue his campaign, Cain declined to give a direct response.
“We will be making a decision in the next several days,” Cain said.

Out Friday After 3 PM EST
(A F.A.T. Happening)
……toast
I don’t know if he did all this or not but I DO hope he bows out, the man is an embarrassment…
Give ‘em hell, Herman!
Just GTFO already.
He is done!
He sure pulled the wool over a lot of peoples eyes including his wife’s.
He should get out without any proof of wrongdoing??? Yikes – hope your friends never need you to stand up for them.
I love you Mr. Cain – so sorry you and yours have been drug through the mud.
God bless America, our troops, Israel, and decent fellow humans.
His wife probably signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement.
He’ll step out of the race and throw his support behind… Gingrich?
He’s staying.
@WesternGal
You don’t see it as titanically selfish for a man to accept donations and run for the Republican nomination when he knows or should know his scandal-ridden past will be brought out and cost him either the nomination or the election?
Didn’t his donors have a right to know that?
THIS IS FUCKING WHY YOU ONLY RUN EXPERIENCED CANDIDATES!
Cain is the victim here.
I’m feeling better already…
OsamaHusseinIslamObama 2012′ (WTF)
(the terrorist-Uighur-ACORN-media choice)
-It’s never too early to campaign-
I think that it’s funny to watch ardent supporters of other candidates get SO CLOSE to “thinning the field,” only to have the potential support yanked away by a feisty Cain!
I won’t lie, part of Cain’s appeal to me is the absolute disdain that egotistical “serious thinkers” have for him.
It’s also funny to watch people who would have had NOTHING good to say about Newt Gingrich a year and a half ago flock to him as “their only hope” to avoid a Romney candidacy. The guy’s got a mean Progressive streak and will do and say whatever it takes to win. I’ll vote for him, but still think that he’s a duplicitous prick, and that the media has funneled us down to Mittens vs. Newt.
Roll Cain! With a heave of the ho!!
Another example of the liberal media choosing our candidates.
Cain quits, then what?
Newt takes his place until the media smears him out of the race, and so on down the line until only a squeaky clean Mormon Rino is left standind.
@WesternGal
My thoughts have nothing to do with the veracity of the accusations against him. Yes, he has been buffeted from several directions with claims that are spurious at best. I do not think that his response to the accusations was what it should have been. I feel that he stammered and back tracked too many times. His choice of campaign manager is severely flawed. While I respect the man I do not feel that he could lead this country as it needs to be led.
Based on record of what they have done Romney appears more conservative than Gingrich. NEITHER is a Conservative Republican! Ron Paul is a fool. Bachman is flailing hopelessly trying once again for relevance. Huntsman who? Santorum who? Buehler… Buehler…?
I can’t really support anyone – yet I fear I will have to vote for one of the above. A third party candidate guarantees a second term…
Nothing of substance and all these women seem to be the type that will do anything for money. Even perjury. And AGain we have allowed the left wing media to choose our candidate. well WELL DONE media. We’ve been told sex doesn’t matter if the candidate is a democrat and it’s destruction if it is a conservative. HErman Cain was probably the best candidate for the job. HE HAD EXPERIENCE in business. Now he’s about ruined because he cannot be allowed to run against Obonehead.
Exit Cain…enter the only candidate who is the only true conservative and has the record to prove it….Sarah Palin. RUN SARAH RUN!!
I had to step back, take a deep breath, and consider the fact that absolutely none of this has been proven. What better way to destroy a black candidate than to make him appear to be the sleaziest sob in the race. Right down Bam’s alley would seem. Remember how Bam first ran for office in Chicago?
I do want to know if any records of hotel stays, gift receipts, bank account records, witnesses that saw them at restaurants or airports together exist? Cain had best be willing to run the gauntlet if he’s going to salvedge his reputation, marraige, and political ambitions.
Was a deal made with Gingrich?
EXPERIENCED CANIDATES = liers, crooks, traitors, lawyers, socialist, commies, marxist, progressives, scumbags, democrats, republicans, theives,
cheats, dirtbags, pig f@*kers, dickheads, shitasses, turd eaters, whores, child
molesters, monkey molesters, goat f#*kers & an on an on.
This redneck is voting for HERMAN.
What the F#*K ( OVER )
Buh bye
@mackymack
Gingrich won’t be smeared out of the race. He won’t allow it.
oh gee Herm keep us sitting on the edge of our seats biting our nails….GONE ! and may the door hit you in your sorry disgraceful ass on the way out…

To all you idiots that thinks Cain should go. Why do you want the same old shit politicians that keep us in this mess we are in.How many times are you going to keep being burned by these pricks? I personally am tired getting fucked by the same type of crooks you all like.For one thing there is not one shred of proof that Herman Cain has touched any of these whores.Until then i will back him all i can. It is bad when paid off whores come out of sewers and just say this shit and all you fucking idiots are ready to pile on. Why don’t you idiots just vote for Obama? He is no worst than slimy ass Newt or flip flop Romney.
We need some hard facts before Herman pulls out of his long campaign and brings it to a climax. Several of his accusers are serial complainers in the financial hole and the press keeps stroking this story, but even with their flacid accusations, Cain will need stiffen his resolve to pull through.
Whethe or not Cain is guilty of this latest smear, I don’t think he can recover from it. Not because it’s believable but because his campaign is not savvy enough to know how to handle it. Cain doesn’t know how to get down in the mud with these people and fight dirty. Some will say that is why they like him but unfortunately in this game it will be his undoing. Obama is the son of Satan. It’s going take someone with as much or more ambition to beat him and that isn’t Herman Cain. Cain may be naive enough to stay in the race trying to save face, but it’s over for him.
I think he will stay.
Cain’s done. GTFO. We are officially screwed. No good candidates left. I wish, if the accusations are true, that Cain would have done the honorable thing and not even got involved in this race. Look at what the MSM did to Palin. You can’t hide anything (unless your a liberal ex. Edwards).
The Cain movement was a complete waste of time and effort and now we conservatives are stuck with two dim bulb liberal candidates that are no better than McCain in 08. Man am I pissed about the way this has turned out.
We are almost better off if Romney gets the nod *throws up in mouth.
If Newt gets the nomination they’ll call him the Tea Party candidate and if he loses they’ll blame it on conservatives. If he wins we will be stuck with a liberal beltway politician anyway. Lose-lose.
And I didn’t even mention the way the MSM will slam Newt on his afdars!
*head explodes
CAIN = TOAST
The probability of that many sexual complaints all being complete false positives is quite low.
Remember: there was only one Anita Hill.
@hoodaticus Have you even looked at the histories of these until you do stfu.
@Guy Hontz
its what they are comfortable with. They like the lies and the smarmy talk they get from the bullshitters because it makes them feel good about themselves. They “know” a politician because they’ve been in the game a long time (too long IMO) and are angry that somebody like Cain could break into the system. That and a few of the trolls are just liberal racists which is why they deride his character without a single shred of evidence to prove him at fault with this line of drive by accusations.
What a vigorous and eloquent defense of your candidate.
I repeat – show us the proof.
Hope no one tries to ruin your life like the left is doing to Mr. Cain……..and if someone tries, I hope you have friends to back you, unlike Mr. Cain apparently. The left have no soul or conscience – how they sleep at night is a mystery to me.
God bless America, our troops, Israel, and decent fellow humans.
so many things he hasn’t handled well, regardless of truth or not of accusations against him, it’s too late & too much for him to correct
Clarence Thomas wasn’t running for President against the Chicago Mafia.
@Western Gal
You want me to show you proof that multiple complaints are less likely to be false-positives than a single complaint?
Okay.
Let’s say there’s a 8/10 chance of a false positive. If you only have one complaint, the probability of all the complaints being false is 8/10. If you have four complaints, the probability is (8 * 8 * 8 *
/ (10 * 10 * 10 * 10), which is around a 41% chance of them all being false positives, making it now most likely (59% chance) that at least one of the complaints is true.
@kansas
Thank you, that is a valid point, rather than the idiotic sputum sprayed in my direction by Guy Hontz.
@PalinPatriot
“enter the only candidate who is the only true conservative and has the record to prove it….Sarah Palin. RUN SARAH RUN!!”
LMFAO@U
He will shut it down. He is making his lists, getting to the right folks, talking to Newt and Mitt. Cover the bases life a pro and will bring his folks to the party when its time.
Have to respect that if thats what he does.
I was totally behind Perry, then as he went down, I began to watch more closely. I really did consider Mr. Cain, but a couple of things troubled me, if he had stage four colin cancer, how would he last under the constant stress, or would he have a recurrence of the cancer. Another thing was his inexperience in foreign affairs. He is a a business man, and should serve as such under our president.
I watched the debates, and came to the realization that Newt Gingrich was the fairest, most knowledgeable man in the race. He is a great debater, because he knows his facts, and how to use them.
Belileve me, I looked at all of them. Michelle Bachman would not listen to things that were actually said, but would draw a conclusion, and then like a dog on a bone, she would attack , and not let up, nor listen to reason.
She was determined to destroy Perry, and is trying it on Newt, but it isn’t working, as he knows how to fight back. We dont’ need a president that won’t listen at all, no matter how conservative she is.
Well, that is some of my reasoning .
Smells like a demonrat/Ubama machine take down. If Cain has a history of philandering, Ubama has one of tossing out sexual smears at rivals.
http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2011-11-09.html
Either way he should tell Allen West to go fuck himself. Sick of that dude running his mouth and sitting on his hands.
And as for Newt not allowing himself to be smeared out of a race…does anyone remember his tail tucking in the 90′s?
@hoodaticus All i am saying is all these women have a history one way or another of crying sexual harassment against anybody. It sounds like they are hollering wolf. How many times are we going to fall for it.I think this is no more than smear campaign engineered by libs,rinos and MSM. Are we going to let them fool us into picking another beltway crooked same old politician again? Personally i am tired of these people i only hope you are too.
It frankly disappoints me to see how many blind sheep there are in here, even aside from the trolls.
So if someone gets 50 people to say; Zip is an arsonist, does that make him an arsonist?
Should Zip stop doing WZ because someone PAID PEOPLE to make false accusations against him?’ You better close up shop now, Zip. Were onto you and your criminal ways!
I see how “innocent until proven guilty” is out the window, especially when Cain hasnt been accused of doing anything you could prove in a court of law, and no charges will even BE filed. They have nothing because they are nothing and there is nothing.
I love how one dimwit in here said how the probability that all these women are lying about it is low. “there was only one Anita Hill.”
Really? You think maybe they havent upped their game, or learned from the Anita Hill debacle? MAYBE you dont know everything? MAYBE youre talking out of your ass?
Ill explain this to you, despite the notion that you think youre a Wile E. Coyote Super genius and know whats what.
Just as Rush said, they dont need for ANY of these accusations to stick. and NONE OF THEM HAVE. They have no proof.
They simply need to derail his campaign by getting people to stop donating or polling for him, just in case they MIGHT be true.
IF Cain decides to continue his campaign, I GUARANTEE there will be another woman to come out of the woodwork. If you can pay off 4, you can pay off a thousand.
FACT: the woman who said Cain shoved her head into his lap didnt show up for 15 years, is desperate for money, and has no proof. and her story changed.
FACT: this current woman has been ACCUSED OF STALKING, and also has no proof.
FACT: one of the women wont even speak publicly. And dont give me this “shes an ashamed victim” crap. Sexual harassment (an annoying comment) isnt going to leave someone THAT shook up and disturbed, especially a decade later, unless they already have some serious mental issues.
It goes on and on. Arguing the facts of this overshadows and belittles the point that this is OBVIOUSLY a political attack designed to get rid of someone the democrats fear.
3 strikes and youre out does not apply when you havent even proven there was one strike to begin with.
Too many dumb effing people in this world, to see whats right in front of them.
And i hope to GOD Cain stays in. Not that i think he will be elected, but as a matter of Principle.
We need people who will stand their ground against the msm, not quit when the going gets tough, i.e. Palin.
Stay in Cain. Even if you stay at home and dont go on tour b/c you cant afford it anymore, just stay in the race.
F*ck the RINOs, moderates and nay sayers.
Lin Wood Cains atty…
–”Mr. Cain has been informed today that your television station plans to broadcast a story this evening in which a female will make an accusation that she engaged in a 13-year long physical relationship with Mr. Cain. This is not an accusation of harassment in the workplace – this is not an accusation of an assault – which are subject matters of legitimate inquiry to a political candidate.
Rather, this appears to be an accusation of private, alleged CONSENSUAL CONDUCT BETWEEN ADULTS (emphasis added) – a subject matter which is not a proper subject of inquiry by the media or the public. No individual, whether a private citizen, a candidate for public office or a public official, should be questioned about his or her private sexual life. The public’s right to know and the media’s right to report has boundaries and most certainly those boundaries end outside of one’s bedroom door. “–

To all you Cain defenders—
1st) The lawyers position is at least no one was sexually harassed? Yes I’m sure my mom & 2 sisters will now be ever so willing to go door knocking for good ole Herman now…
2nd ) When your lawyer is releasing statements like this, you are admitting you had your pants down & at some point engaged in adult sporting activity with the other consenting adult…
Cain was just on Cavuto & blamed this all on the media focusing on his gaffes not his message… (What did in Gary Hart by the way?)
C’mon Herman that’s like asking people not to look at a rainbow… It’s time for the circus to end.

I agree 100% Nanna. I have brought up the cancer issue as well and everyone just ignores it like it doesn’t even matter. The man would be 67 if he took office in 2013. Stage 4 colon cancer which spread to his liver. And he had a great deal of his colon and liver removed. Stage 4 is always nearly terminal. the odds are against him of it returning somewhere in his body-and he wants to hold the most stressful job in the world ? Taking his health into consideration is a rational-logical thing to do for such an important job. Yet it is ignored by most everyone. Why would anyone want to take a chance under these circumstances especially since he is not even qualified for the office ( foreign policy /national security weakness-although now he says he’s “learning”-we don’t need another learn as we President). As for his business success-well yes he has had some success, however the jobs he created as a business man were low paying jobs at fast food joints, not exactly a Steve Jobs.
Shadowblitz
Palin resigning had nothing to do with not being able to handle the pressure. If you say that your either ignorant or just full of shit.
She stepped down sacrificing her political career to further her state, knowing that people like you would call her a quitter for years to come.
His fundraising efforts had just begun in earnest when the libs went apeshiit. I expect his November haul was still huge despite poll trodden. He goes on the attack and never pulls out I hope his wife bashes the hell out of the whores
Nope. Cain’s doing great with his Cavuto interview.
And it doesn’t sound like he’s leaving.
Do any of you live in a small town, perchance? Because you remind me very much of my petty, small minded and cruel neighbors, you who are so ready to jump and judge Sarah Paliln, Cain, Michele – I have to ask this: are you conservatives? Or Democrats over here up in our shit, ready to vote us a guy to vote for next November, like you did with McCain?
Let’s see some hands: how many democrats are out there up in republican business?
I believe that Herman is being publically lynched before our eyes, just like Sarah was. Maybe you should get off your fat asses and go get some air, read a book or two, really try to understand your own mind and the mind of the country instead of opening your maws like little birds and letting the media stuff you with shit.
God bless you Herman, thank you for your courage. I listened to your policies: your personal life is your own business, and the contented smile on your wife’s beautiful face is enough to tell me that you are innocent.
Dennis Miller walks back his Cain endorsement.
The hits keep coming.

We do and the overwhelming majority of folks here don’t like Herman Cain. Cain ain’t no Palin.
Keep the Cain Train rolling, they can’t stand it, were Republicans, we are supposed to run away at the first sign of trouble.
I find it all hard to believe, Cain is a rich man, has connections, if he kept a woman you would think he set her up in a cushy job, so she would have to money to buy things to keep her happy and so she would keep you happy.
Wouldn’t being the Presidents girl on the side be a feather in her cap, seems like if she was with him for 13 years, she would hang in for that, so she could write a book and get the big money and go down in history as being Herman’s side treat.
But this does let me know who both sides are afraid of, and that’s Herman Cain, I’m still not ready to give up on him, but they timed this so it will kill him off long before we know the truth
Obama and crew know they can’t beat him, they dam sure don’t want to debate him, the Republicans can’t let an outsider just walk in, he might start a wave of outsiders, real working people who take two years or four off work to help the country and then go back to work, that’s the way it use to be done.
They all are afraid of losing their life time rides and the millions they can make from insider trading, which is legal for them, that needs to change now, so you have to keep outsiders out, it might cause real change.
Like I said I’m not letting them sway me as easy as most people are, hell at 66 if he can still handle 2 women and chase more, sounds like he has the energy to get the job done, besides I like scaring them to death too, as long as we keep supporting and sending money to Herman, no matter what they try, that scares them even more than Herman, to know they can’t fool or control us as easy.
We are making a change our selfs, the media couldn’t stand it we kept Herman up in the polls no matter what they said for so long, then we let him slip to second to let him get some rest and then he won the last big poll last week, then this woman comes out of nowhere with a bad past and needing money bad.
But we need to keep showing them, we not falling for the same old crap, we want real change, We want Cain just to tick them off.
I made a donation to show I still had his back, we can’t let them rail road him, Clinton had rapes against him and it didn’t seem to matter
I’ll let the rest of you be the media’s bitch.
Cain/West 2012
I wish zip would spray for trolls and assholes.
@handymanherb
“Clinton had rapes against him and it didn’t seem to matter”
1) The rules are different for democrats
2) BJ didn’t give a rat’s ass what his wife thought
As for being “the media’s bitch”, the central issue here is not what we want Cain to do, or believe the truth to be. Whatever decision is made by Cain and his advisers does not make anyone here the media’s bitch, but it may tell us something about Cain.

Do you really think the Democrats are afraid of a man who wants to make millions of retired seniors, those on disability and minimum, wage pay pay nearly 20% tax on food ? LMFAO. Can you imagine the ads they would run reenforcing that fact if Cain were the GOP candidate ! Cain fans alone cannot get this man elected in the general-and multiple millions of the general voting populace are just not going to vote for a man who wants to tax food and medicine, has backtracked on nearly every comment he’s made, who constantly says he’d “check with his advisers” (we are not electing presidential advisers-we are electing a president), one who is dumber then shit on foreign policy. We just had 4 years of an unqualified-learn as he goes numbskull who was perceived as “anti-establishment-going to do things differently” clown-Americans do not want another one !
ZIP is an arsonist??
Cain is why you keep your powder dry when it comes to candidates. Want to avoid looking like an idiot? Don’t get all weak in the knees at every fast talking “real” conservative who comes along.
Watch what happens to Newt if & when he gets the nomination. The same Main Stream Media that is rooting on the former speaker will go all John McCain on him & he’ll be painted as the proto-typical D.C. insider (which of course he is).
Some where between the clown that is Herman Cain & Newt is a great candidate. The thing that truly sucks is we never get quality conservative candidates. Good Conservatives don’t run because they don’t want the full rectal exam…
&
I’ll repeat it it’s too fucking bad Sarah Palin said yes when John McCain tapped her in 2008. She’d be the front runner now. Most likely an unstoppable force. But she got some VERY BAD ADVICE from her handlers & allowed herself to get thrown to the lions to help a desperate old RINO.
Cain’s mistake is that he didn’t see all of this coming. He should have known that any past legal settlements or complaints or court cases involving him would come to light as soon as his campaign gained any traction. If he was banging this latest chick, he should have known she would surface sooner or later. He and his handlers should have figured out months ago what they were going to do when the MSM started trashing him over these supposed improprieties.
@Mad Dog
Bingo! An experienced politician would have prepared for these inevitabilities. Poor judgment and poor planning and poor response.
