Time to hop off the Cain train.

Herman Cain has officially withdrawn from the presidential nomination race. After suggesting that China was “in the midst of developing nuclear weapons” and that he had no idea who was the leader of “Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan,” Cain fell out of contention amid accusations of adultery and sexual misconduct. The staunchly conservative candidate made the announcement Saturday, explaining that the “false” and “unproven” allegations against him were hurtful to his family and message. His support dropped this month down to a mere 8 of per cent of Republicans in Ottawa after a rapid surge in popularity once put him near the top. At the rally in Atlanta, Cain said he would soon endorse another candidate and vowed to continue his work to return the government to the people.
