Neal Boortz: It may be time for Herman Cain to think about leaving race
Atlanta radio talk show host Neal Boortz said this morning that it may be time for Herman Cain to think about dropping out of the GOP race for president.
Why does this matter? Because the Cain campaign on Monday touted Boortz as one of several VIPs slated to attend the Saturday morning opening of a new Georgia headquarters in DeKalb County.
Like Boortz, Cain was a featured voice on AM750 and 95.5FM News/Talk WSB, until shortly before he began his run for president.
On Tuesday, a caller brought up the topic of Ginger White, the Dunwoody woman who says she had a 13-year consensual affair with Cain that ended earlier this year. Cain has forcefully denied anything improper – but said he was attempting to help the woman financially.
Said Boortz:
”I know Herman Cain. This does not sound like Herman Cain to me. It doesn’t sound like him…..Additionally, it is very curious to me that every allegation against Herman Cain has come from his three years at the national restaurant association….”
Boortz noted that White, like another Cain accuser, had lodged a sexual harassment complaint against an employer. But he added this:
”That being said, I can’t say whether or not the allegations are true. I can say that they are damaging. I can say, in my opinion – which is worth no more than yours – it probably pretty much puts a fork in Herman Cain’s chances of winning the GOP nomination. True or not, it does that.
“It may be rapidly approaching the time for Herman Cain to concentrate on his relationship with his family, and try to get through this thing.”
Update: NRO is reporting that Cain, in a conference call to supporters, says he is “reassessing” his candidacy.

Boortz is a classic Libertarian: You say you’re a Libertarian until election time, at which point you swing into line with Republicans.
There’s no such thing as a Libertarian. You’re only fooling yourself if you think so.

At the risk of being misunderstood i must say this, Herman Cain did what many black men do ,they get an education they get some success and they gravitate toward the whit culture in order to feel validated in there living only to find out in the end they really don’t and never will view you as an”equal” ,notice even though he has a black wife he dealt with only whit women,why you may ask ? he really stayed with his wife for purpose of keeping his finances in tact while really preferring a whit woman a divorce would be damn costly.This man Herman Cain is the poster boy for self hating black men.

To ALL Republican, sore loser, retards… do me, and ALL of America a favor. WHEN Obama is re- elected president again in 2012, find the highest mountan, or the tallest tree, or the tallest building, or the tallest structure of any kind, and…. JUMP! Do us all a favor and JUMP! Please JUMP! Rid us of your lying, hypocritical, non-thinking nonsense. If you’re too cowardly to jump, as you are in everything else you say and do, contact your nearest Democrat to push you! You’re the scum of the earth!

With a 9/11-committing, homosexual, draft-dodging psychopath now a former POTUS – tipped, according to its employees, with the unheralded gift of 11% of all U.S. oil and gas distribution (Colonial Pipeline/Perimeter Terminal) – who really isn’t qualified for the office?

Hot Dog- Glad you have not lowered yourself to name calling. I was just wondering, where is the NAACP, Jesse, Al and the rest of the bunch. Why are they not coming to the defense of Cain?
I heered he was an Ayrab

I am finding it really hard to believe this newest woman is claiming she had a 13 year affair with
Herman Cain who went through colon cancer in 2006. It is easy to say bad things about someone
WHERE IS THE PROOF? I see it as a bluff to ruin this man’s Presidential race.

My gut feeling is that Herman Cain is a very decent man. He has a beautiful wife and family.
Then take a look at the trash that have come out to destroy him. All of them have been in trouble
legally, are single woman in money trouble. Does anyone have commonsense anymore? or will
you let the media make up your mind for you.
