No one will be casting his or her vote for the Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain.
Cain made a public announcement on this past weekend that we he was suspending his campaign for the Republican nomination for President. With the recent sexual harassment allegations and thirteen-year affair with an area Atlanta businesswoman, Cain had no choice but to drop out of the race. Cain stated, “His campaign simply could not survive allegations of consensual relationship.”
Despite Cain shortcomings, the fact of the matter remains; he became a likeable presidential candidate. He won the very first Republican debate, captured potential voters in crucial electoral states, and created the 9-9-9 plan which some say (including myself) was a resourceful plan, but lacked substance because it would have raised taxes on a vast percentage of U.S. households.
Unfortunately, Cain’s fall from Glory became a detriment to his supporters, and the underlying question is where will Cain’s supporters go from now? Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney are the next prominent Republican candidates ready to emerge in the polling states. I’m sure they are hoping to appease Cain’s supporters. Only time will tell!
