After several sexual allegations against him, Cain has decided to end his presidential campaign so that his family won't have to endure any further pain from any more false allegations. With Cain out of the race, where will his supporters go? We are still waiting on an endorsement from Cain. He said that he "would weigh his options carefully and not rush to endorse one of his former opponents". While we wait to see who Cain will endorse, his rivals are waiting with open arms for his supporters to shift to them. Newt Gingrich, the current forerunner, is considered "a favorite to get Cain's endorsement". Ron Paul says that he is "a natural fit for the Cain crowd". Bachmann also argues that she is attracting Cain followers. "I think part of it is because people see that I'm the tea party candidate in the race. They saw Herman Cain as an outsider, and I think they see that my voice will be the one that would be most reflective of his." She believes that trailing candidates like herself have a chance to change their fortunes. A recent CNN poll says that 38% of Cain's followers will likely go to Gingrich. Even though Paul and Bachmann are hoping to benefit from Cain's supporters, it makes more sense for Gingrich to get most of Cain's supporters.
