Cain suspends presidential bid
CNN
ATLANTA– 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.
Recently, Cain acknowledged that Ginger White’s allegations of an affair have led to a drop in campaign contributions, and a Des Moines Register poll shows his support among likely Republican Iowa caucus-goers has fallen to 8%, down from 23% in October. The poll has a sampling error of plus or minus 4.9 points, the newspaper said.
