Never underestimate the ignorance of the Christian right.

Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain told supporters Saturday that he is suspending his presidential campaign, which has become hobbled in recent weeks by allegations of sexual harassment and an Atlanta woman's claim that they carried on a 13-year affair.

He introduced his "Plan B" -- "continue to be a voice for the people" -- as he announced a new website, TheCainSolutions.com.

His announcement came a month before the Iowa caucuses, the first formal test of the primary season, scheduled for January 3.

Cain going out is no suprise, but I'm really curious as to where his supporters will jump. Could really throw the whole thing up in the air. (Even more than it already is)

I can't wait to watch Republicans squirm like worms over who they vote for.

Romney is the only one that stands a chance against Obama. GLHF voting.

If you were to provide the polarity Paul has in comparison to Obama, I think Paul could win that election.

And then we remember we live in the real world and not some strange fantasy world. Paul doesn't stand a chance even in Republican primary, where the Tea Party largely adopts his platform. How would he stand a chance in a general election when he advocates policies the left and independents would NEVER agree with?

I doubt he'll get the nomination, but I think people are so fed up with the corruption that they are willing to put aside ideology in order to gain some integrity. Paul has shown a willingness to work with progressives on some very important core issues (more so than Obama). Of course I disagree with him on damn near everything else, but we need to have some ethics and be able to hold public officials accountable before anything else matters.

So who is it looking like will get the nomination now? I've predicted from the start that everyone will accidentally blow themselves up until its just Romney left. Still kind of looking that way, as far as I can tell.

The only "progressive" issue he has shown attachment to is Social Security, and only because people have paid into it and are expecting a return out of it. Every other program and executive department is up to the chopping block. Seriously, how would you sell a platform to environment conscious independents without the EPA, or blue collar support without the Dept. of Labor, or college students without the Dept. of Education (which runs the government backed student loans)? The minute you start shining a light on the things he would love to get rid of, you realize huge interest groups that would be devastated. As much as people respect integrity, they would much rather protect their personal prosperity. That is why somebody like Ron Paul is rare in politics.
