Florida Rep. Allen West is the latest conservative to call on Herman Cain to move out of the 2012 spotlight, calling him a “distracter” and said he needs to “move on”.

“I think that really beyond reassessing his campaign, he probably needs to understand that he is a distracter for what’s going on right now, and we should move on,” West told the WMAL Morning Majority radio show. “That would be my advice to him if I had the opportunity and he asked me.”

At the very beginning of the 2012 race, I was fond of the slogan “Go West, Raise Cain.” Those were good times.
