"In a conference call this morning, Herman Cain told his senior staff that he is 'reassessing' whether to remain in the race," reports National Review's Robert Costa. Costa added that Cain told his staff in a conference call that he’ll make his final decision 'over the next several days.'" The report is being confirmed by ABC's Jonathan Karl who tweeted, "Mark Block tells [Amy Walter, ABC's Political News Director] the NRO report is true. Cain told staff today he is "reassessing" whether to stay in the race."
Frankly, I don't see much of a conspiracy in this (or almost anything else happening to any candidate this early in the campaign). If the Dems were plotting this, they would have kept Cain at the top of the heap through a number of primaries and, then - after some more formidable candidates had been knocked out of the running, maybe even waiting until Cain gets the nomination, trot out all the scandals. Pretty much the same strategy for dealing with any other Repub candidate.
This trashing of Cain so early in the race suggests that the knife in the back was from a fellow Republican (and maybe more than one).
Very possible. I still haven't a clue why anyone would get into the political arena w/that much personal baggage. Ironically, given the twisted nation we live in, these revelations wouldn't do much damage to an already sitting president. Viva AmeriKa!
