Herman Cain has announced that he is suspending his presidential campaign amid allegations of sexual harassment and dalliances from a host of women.
Cain had previously been supported through these allegations by multiple groups, including Women for Herman Cain (yes it exists), one member of which previously wrote,
“I believe you to be a God-fearing man who loves his wife and children. Don’t let Satan and his demons win.”
Although he did not cite any demonic forces in his explanation for his decision, Cain explains that this campaign move is necessary because,
“Because of the continued distractions, the continued hurt caused on me and my family, not because we are not fighters. Not because I’m not a fighter.”
The exit of Mr. Cain has left Republican candidates scrambling to gain the support of former Cain supporters.
Newt Gingrich has benefited the most thus far with a poll released late Saturday showing him in the lead with 25% support.
