Herman Cain drops out of US presidential race

Presidential candidate Herman Cain just announced via live video feed that he will not be continuing his campaign in the wake of accusations that he conducted a 13-year extramarital affair.
Today's barbeque-cooking and country music-playing event was initially scheduled to be the ribbon-cutting for Cain's national headquarters, but between recent allegations of multiple infidelities and comments from Cain that he would be "reassessing" his political plans, there has been a lot of speculation that he would be dropping out of the race. Cain says:

"As of today, with a lot of prayer and soul searching, I am suspending my presidential campaign. I am suspending my presidential campaign because of the continued distraction, the continued hurt . . . on me, on my family, not because we are not fighters, not because I am not a fighter."
