    Aim is not needed with this collection of ninnies and nincompoops.

    Kind of like firing into a dense forest. You'll hit a tree sooner than later.

    Cain announces he’s suspending campaign because of “hurtful” coverage to his family

    The Cain train has come to a stop.

    Herman Cain suspended his bid for the Republican presidential nomination on Saturday following a steady drumbeat of sexual misconduct allegations he said were harming his family and drowning out his ability to deliver his message.

    With just one month to go until the lead-off Iowa caucuses, Cain’s announcement is tantamount to a concession. Still, he told supporters, he planned to continue his efforts to influence Washington and announced “Plan B” — what he called a grassroots effort to return government to the people.

    Cain denounced the accusations of impropriety against him as “false and unproven” but said that they had been hurtful to his family, particularly his wife, Gloria.

    “So as of today, with a lot of prayer and soul-searching, I am suspending my presidential campaign. I am suspending my presidential campaign because of the continued distractions and the continued hurt caused on me and my family,” a tired-looking Cain told about a 400 supporters.

    Would he suspend it if he thought the worst was over?

    My bad I think. I merged it with TBF's thread and despite bringing his thread into yours for some reason it ended up on the OT board rather than the Blazers OT board. Fixed.

    Seems bizarro-world odd, like if Romney's backers were only black voters.
