Herman Cain now says he'll decide by Monday whether or not to continue running for the Republican presidential nomination, after first suggesting he'd make a decision Friday and then saying it would come next Wednesday. He announced the latest deadline on Fox News Thursday night, according to Politico. That was after telling Fox News he would make a decision by next Wednesday, as The Guardian reported earlier on Thursday. And both deadline announcements come after Cain suggested to the Washington Post earlier this week that he would decide on Friday: "Cain has said he won’t make a final decision until he meets face to face with his wife on Friday." But he also told Neil Cavuto on Thursday he would decide "within a week." At least he's got his bases covered.
