I am thinking Cain is not going to survive as a candidate. I give him a week.

[yellowcanine]

Anyone want to take that bet?

1. Here's a link for ya :)

Poll: Herman Cain will drop out of the race by ...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x2215983

p.s. It could use a kick :)

[Kennah]

2. If you're not the GOP candidate, blame yo self.

[Lint Head]

3. Cain will bow out tomorrow or the next day.

He is an obvious coward that does like to be touched or spoken to unless he instigates the conversation.(His own words. Not the coward part. I think he is a coward. He's no Rosa Parks.)

[tabatha]

4. He is a complete fake, piece of shit.

It speaks volumes about Republicans that he is at the top of the heap (but maybe that's because the heap is even worse).

[JCMach1]

5. His ego is bigger than a week, also it was ALWAYS about the book sales for Cain

:puke:

[BlueStater]

6. This embarrassing schmuck never should have risen to this point to begin with.

Just when I think I couldn't possibly have any less respect for Republican voters, they continue to suprise me. Why do they always flock to the dumbest and/or least qualified candidate? George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, and now Herman Cain? These knuckleheads are the sort of people they see as presidential material? That's scary as hell.

[Knight Hawk]

7. Definitely

I will definitely take that bet and raise you double.Not because I am a Cain supporter but becuse I think you misread his personality and the current climate.I would like someone to tell me what he is actually accused of.Unless it is something VERY serious AND comes out and seems probable he will stay in the race.Mark your calendar.

[mwb970]

10. Will you come back to this thread in three weeks and tell us this again?

He'll be LONG gone by then. Count on it. Have you heard about the illegal contributions yet? The man is a disaster.

[Knight Hawk]

14. Yes

Yes I have marked my calendar for three weeks from yesterday.The bet was for a week BTW.I am close to his age and come from the same area and culture as him.The chances of someone with his drive and ambition who has climbed a ladder as steep and high as he has to quit without a hell of a fight is very unlikely.If the allegations were very serious he would have not entered the race to begin with.The worst people in the world ,the Republican establishment ,are the people who want him out the most.Bank on it.He will NOT leave soon if at all.

[yellowcanine]

11. What he is accused of is a secret because of settlement agreements.

Therein is the problem. Presidential candidates who hide behind settlement agreements become non presidential candidates. Stick a fork in him. He is done.

[Knight Hawk]

15. Mark your calendar

Please get up on November the 8th and read your newspaper.Herman Cain will still be in the race.Then email me and tell me I was correct in my prediction.Thank You!

8. I am betting he stay in through Florida primary n/m

[Elsewheres Grandson]

9. He has Faux propping him up

Why those racist bastards doing that I dunno. Keeping the *horse race* going? For ratings?

[MrsCorleone]

17. 1) He's a distraction from Mitt "Corporations Are People, My Friends" Romney.

Romney skates by without any scrutiny as long as we're all fixated on Cain.

2) Cain helps shake the Republican party of its pesky rascist image. He's the token black Republican "candidate". I put candidate in quotes because he's not seriously running for the Presidency. He has no campaign offices in critical states. Speaks volumes. Anyhoo, Fox will dump him any day now after their viewers "see" how much they've embraced a black candidate, thus, "proving" they are not rascist.

It certainly is not for ratings, at least from my perspective. Everyone that I've spoken to is so sick to shit about the wall to wall coverage of Cain. I TiVo a lot of media. The last two days, I immediately deleted almost every so-called news show (about 10 programs) that opened with the name Cain. I couldn't take it. My guess is that I'm not alone.

[JoePhilly]

12. He's on a book tour ... so he's probably not going anywhere.

[Berlin Expat]

13. I give him three months at the most.

Never underestimate the fanatical stupidity of the Teabaggers. These mental midgets have the collective IQ of an asparagus twig.

It'll take more than just this issue to knock Mr. Cain out of the running. Perhaps when people start focusing on serious matters, such as foreign policy (which Mr. Cain seems to believe is unimportant) then the rest of the GOP will wake up and smell the coffee (or in this case, pizza) and realize that Mr. Cain is utterly unqualified for the Oval Office.

Most of his support is made up of Palinistas; they're desperately looking for a Messiah, and believe they've found one in Mr. Cain. Now that former Governor Palin is officially out of the running, they've flocked to Mr. Cain's campaign like the lemmings they are.

I think it's likely that Mr. Cain will flameout in three months, give or take a few weeks. I can't help but wonder what the Teabaggers will do then; I know damn well they WON'T vote for former Governor Romney (well, I'd say at least 60% of them won't), and by that time, it may be too late for them to gravitate to someone else. I figure that once they've been deprived of their Messiah, quite a significant portion of the GOP base will simply stay home in November, 2012.

[AlinPA]

16. Sounds reasonable that his supporters are re-directed Palin supporters. "Collective IQ

of an asparagus twig" is the best description I've heard on the teabaggers.

[laugle]

18. He survived stage 4 cancer,

I wouldn't count him out yet!

[totodeinhere]

19. His campaign contributions have gone up since this news broke. As long as he continues to rake in

the money, why should he quit?
