I was just wondering if anyone else noticed that whomever the Koch Brothers support and put out there are just a little "out there?"

Herman Cain
Scott Walker
Clarence Thomas

I hope this has all been a build up to a new fast food venture.

Ha ha ha! He actually quit! I thought he, in his Palinesque style, was too enamored with the limelight to do the right thing for his party and his family. Honestly I was so sure he was going to announce his VP running mate... Glen Beck.

Hate to break it to you, but I don't think that he's really gone. Just wait and see....he'll be back....

I doubt he'll be back...the establishment will have more women lined up to accuse him of all sorts of infidelities if he tries it...

He'll be Newt's running mate.

Is he hanging the Christmas lights and setting out the creche today or is he leaving that up to Gloria, too?

I have a feeling that "Gloria" will be introducing him to the new liberated and independent views of womanhood.

According to Politico, Cain is likely to endorse Gingrich.  Somebody at Politico pointed out that they are both from Georgia, so now I'm wondering if this was a set-up.

Maybe Gingrich was really the Koch Brothers' candidate?

....All that has been missing from the CAIN CAMPAIGN:......The frizzy red hair wig under the clonw's hat, and.....don't forget-...the bright red nose....................good riddance, Herman, -let this "dropping out" be your contribution to stop poluting the already poluted airwaves...........

All that has been missing from the "CAIN CAMPAIGN" has been the official Cain election "garb":...A clown's hat under a frizzy red wig and....-don't forget-... the red nose........

Has there ever been a worse candidate for President? Stupid, creepy and embarrassing!

Pizza, Sim City, awkward groping and Pokemon.

Is this guy a fourteen year old or a presidential candidate?

It would have been a lot easier on Democrats if he had been the candidate.  It would have been almost as easy as a Palin nomination.

Loved this:

Herman Cain says he will be making an endorsement in the near future. Every candidate is thinking "Please don't let it be me".

Pay him off NOT to give you an endorsement, he'll get rich in seconds!

Is that a first hosting the grand opening of a campaign office by closing it? Of course in Republican speak where bad is good and up is down I guess it makes perfect sense!
