Well, perhaps not limited to the political sphere, but keeping any greatly-talented non-politicians out of it, like musicians, because great talent can land women -- and Herman doesn't seem to have women-landing type of talent (his military math abilities included).

Meh. Power is probably the single most effective attractant of women.

Ouch! That has got to hurt.

Well, power and a shedload of money.
You gotta wonder how he bagged Greta if she found him so unappealing.

That he was. He was authentically crude. A genuine person and not one of the "plastic" candidates.

In suspending his candidacy, as opposed to saying that he was ending his bid, Mr. Cain, according to campaign finance lawyers, maintains an ability to accept money to pay for his campaign so far and potentially to finance the new venture that he called his Plan B: to travel the country promoting his tax and foreign policy plans.


Brilliant!

Wouldn't surprise me if these were just trumped up accusations from the Obama Campaign cause Herman Cain would defuse the only argument Obama has left.

He dropped out of the race.

I was backing Ron Paul the whole time, though. Actually, my ideal candidate is anyone other than Perry or Bachmann.

I find it fascinating that Repugnican voters were perfectly fine with Mr. Cain making passes at white women and groping them. When these revelations came to light, his popularity surged and donations peaked. But, when people found out that, in one case, his groping was successful and brought him to the next level, he had apparently crossed a line and his support evaporated.
