Former presidential candidate Herman Cain rode his big, blue bus into Houston on Saturday, revving up a tea party gathering at Minute Maid Park with his impassioned speaking style, but at the same time counseling pragmatism when picking a president.
Cain told the crowd of 300 that even though he’s out of the race, they need to determine which of the remaining candidates has the best chance of winning the general election and then throw their support to that person. They chose Texas Congressman Ron Paul, but many of them admitted feeling conflicted.
Cain didn’t say whom he supports, although he has promised he soon will be making “an unconventional endorsement” in South Carolina.

Conventional Wisdom had Cain supporting Newt. They were pretty tight when Cain was still in the race, and they had private meetings. If Cain comes out to support Paul, and then takes that momentum to FLorida where Cain blew away the Straw Poll in his first surprise victory, then perhaps Paul could take SC and FLorida! Florida's delegates are committed once the primary is run, so a win, is a permanent win! Those 50 delegates, of the 1150 needed for the nomination will belong to whoever wins here.

if Cain has strong links to the federal reserve then would you even want him supporting Paul?

Yes, it's confirmed. They only sent it to SC and FL people though. The announcement is on his website.

My feelings are, If Ron Paul don't get elected for POTUS, then the US citizens deserves what ever erosion of freedoms and liberties, and also wealth and jobs, that anyone else would bring. The only other candidate even half worth anything is Romney. Obama can not win again, anything and everything must be done to stop his policies, their killing us and destroying the fabric of America. America only has a very few years left before we go the way of the USSR when they collapsed
