It looks like Herman Cain’s presidential bid may be slowing to an end. Before Politico reported the first accusation of sexual harassment faced by Cain, he had his rise in the polls just like the other forerunners. But, like most of them, his numbers started to drop after the second and third accusations came to light. Now with the most intimate allegation to date it looks like he may not be able to surface from this one.
According to the Cain camp, he is “reassessing” his 2012 presidential campaign. But while Cain is deciding whether to throw in the towel or keep getting kicked around, numerous conservative politicians are hinting that he should wave the white flag and call it quits. At this point in his campaign he hasn’t proven very well that he can do much other than recite his “9-9-9” speech from memory. While his flubbed stance on Obama’s handling of Libya was only part of his failed attempt on a form of foreign policy, his flip-flopping on more conservative topics such as abortion lost him standing among far-right voters.
With the first primaries beginning in January, he might as well save himself any more shame and embarrassment and leave with his head still firmly attached to hi shoulders.
