No. 4 is coming out, today, at a press conference.
For the good of the party, Cain needs to bow out now.
Why for the party? Because it puts the other candidates like Romney and Perry in a vise: If they attack Cain, they alienate Cain supporters, and there are supporters out there who still think all this is a "high tech lynching"; if Romney and Perry say nothing, they alienate half the country.
Look for Cain's withdrawal sometime today. Unless he wants to take everybody down with him.
Note: I considered Cain a good candidate months ago, a personification of the business friendly side of the GOP. [Hmmm. Is there another side? Actually I considered Cain and Huntsman to be bookends among the candidates. Huntsman has faded from barely there to still barely there.] Cain has a sueful message for Americans, that you can succeed by hard work, that you get nowhere blaming and making excuses. He has never been a viable presidential candidate.
