re: #54 Obdicut

I think he was assigned to him by the Koch’s, so Cain probably doesn’t really have a choice in deciding whether he stays or goes. Cain has no actual ground game, no actual presence in states. He’s an internet, media, and astroturfed phenomenon, funded heavily by the Koch’s.

Block was the one who convinced Cain to run.

Almost makes me wonder if there was some agreement made at the beginning.

“Alright, I’ll run so as to provide the GOP a black guy they can use to deflect accusations of racism and throw out absolutely stupid ideas and comments that will make the rest of the field look like geniuses by comparison. And in exchange, when I inevitably get kicked out on my ass, you help fund my book tour and speaking gigs.”

Except he hasn’t gotten kicked out, he’s been embraced in the wake of the rest of the field being voted off the island by the TPers.
