Conservative News of the Day: Cain Train Derailed

Herman Cain drops out of presidential race

Herman Cain, the insurgent populist whose candidacy has been ensnared by allegations of sexual impropriety, said Saturday that he is leaving the race for the Republican presidential nomination, saying that the allegations have cast a "cloud of doubt over me and this campaign."

"As of today, with a lot of prayer and soul searching, I am suspending my presidential campaign," he said at an event in Atlanta. "I am suspending my presidential campaign because of the continued distraction, the continued hurt . . . on me, on my family, not because we are not fighters, not because I am not a fighter."

Cain's campaign had sent mixed signals as to his future since Ginger White, an Atlanta woman who claims to have had an affair with Cain for more than a decade, went public with her story earlier this week. While Cain has said he has been "reassessing" his candidacy, he also, at times, has been fiercely defiant, suggesting that unnamed enemies have been trying to do him in and vowing to press forward.

quote:

Two new surveys out this morning, from the Des Moines Register and NBC News, show Newt Gingrich with the polling lead for the Iowa Republican caucuses. Although these results are broadly in line with other recent polls of the state, it is good to get the confirmation since these are extremely high-quality surveys. On average, Mr. Gingrich is at 25 percent in the two polls, with Mitt Romney and Ron Paul each at 17 percent.

But how safe is an 8-point polling lead a month in advance of Iowa?

Surely it is time for these candidates to do something presidential: Stand-up and say, ‘We’re not going to be hijacked and participate in this .’”

Trump’s Sideshow Debate

quote:

In announcing that their candidate would not attend the Newsmax debate set to be moderated by Donald Trump in Iowa later this month, the Ron Paul campaign wrote, “The selection of a reality television personality to host a presidential debate that voters nationwide will be watching is beneath the office of the Presidency and flies in the face of that office’s history and dignity.”

We could not have put it any better than the Paul campaign, but it is bizarre that such a response was necessary in the first place. The statement goes on to assert, again quite rightly, that Trump’s participation “will distract from questions and answers concerning important issues” and “contribute to an unwanted circus-like atmosphere.” Paul deserves credit for declining to step into the clown car — as does Jon Huntsman.
