HERMAIN CAIN: If there's anything worse than a groper it's a tease, and you, sir, are a BIG TEASE.

Cain will not endorse in GOP primary

CONCORD, N.H. -- Herman Cain will not endorse a candidate in the Republican presidential primary, saying that such a move might imperil his larger goal: promoting his 9-9-9 tax plan.

In a phone interview Wednesday with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the morning after the New Hampshire primary, Cain said it was “bittersweet” to be no longer competing for the presidency. The campaign of the McDonough businessman was derailed in part by allegations of sexual misconduct that Cain maintains were false, yet still fatal to his bid.

He intends to mount a nationwide bus tour to promote his “Cain solutions,” most prominently his plan for a flat 9 percent tax on personal income, corporations and sales that became his campaign trail mantra. There is no itinerary yet for the tour, but Cain said he has been flooded with speaking requests.

Cain will speak Jan. 19 at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference in Charleston, S.C., two days before the South Carolina primary. He said he will use that speech to make an “unconventional endorsement” in the presidential race, which means that he will not be blessing a single candidate.

I agree. Hearing only about Romney, Santorum, Gingrich, Paul on the news everyday IS BORING! n/t Tx4obama Jan 2012 #4

can be used to pay for his bus tour, hotels, and food expense.

I'm sure he'll do everything within his power to spend as much money as he can

It's more boring now without him- missing Michelle B too, come to think of it. Not that watching Gingrich do his best to destroy Romney isn't also good comedy theatre, but Herman and Michelle- now they were more like theature of the absurd.
