Hermain Cain Out

http://juneauempire.com/opinion/2011-12-13/herman-cain-never-really-stood-chance#.Txi10_mHl1E

              In this particular article from a newspaper in  Juneau, Alaska, the author addresses all the factors that caused Hermain Cain to be forced to drop out of the GOP race. The author contributes the factors to the fact that as a black republican, Cain was unable to attain enough minority votes to really stand a chance against candidate such as Romney or Gingrich. Polls had him in the low 20% in the views of Latinos and Blacks. Among women in these groups it went as low as 2%. Apparently for a lot of these groups education and the economy were top priorities and Cain failed to address them the right way. And to make matters even worst he is involved in a sexual harassment scandal. It seems to me that his fall out was inevitable. Alaska is known for being more Republican with a libertarian insight. This is clearly a factor when we deal with who they will be most likely to vote for in the general elections. Candidates in the Republican field will have to address a very touchy subject with them ,"oil" and "drilling". Anyone who fails to clearly present a favorable viewpoint will probably loose Alaska's vote.
