(CNN) – Herman Cain, the one-time frontrunner for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination, offered reporters in Florida Thursday some speculation on what could have been if he had remained in the race.
According to the Gainesville Sun, Cain said he would have a “substantial lead” over President Barack Obama if he were the Republican nominee instead of Mitt Romney.

Cain didn’t get this far for a reason. I would still vote against Obama, but I would not have had the faith in Cain as I do in Romney. Romney is a good honest and upright person. Romney wants to get America back to work. Obama only wants to redistribute what he thinks is handy.
Cain had an affair with the woman he treated to the high life for 10 years irresponsibly neglecting to mention to his wife that fact, and my guess is, that there was a more than strong possibility that at least three other woman were being truthful about his harassing them. Nope, I don’t believe he would be winning because many here wouldn’t have back the lying CEO…I’ll bet on it too!
