Herman Cain's campaign stuck a finger in the eye of the most powerful conservative voice in New Hampshire on Thursday, blowing off a scheduled interview with the Union Leader newspaper.
Continue Reading
Before Cain's no-show, the campaign had requested the 10 a.m. meeting, scheduled for 60 minutes, be shortened to 20 minutes. Cain also told the Union Leader it would not allow C-SPAN cameras to record the sit-down, as it had the paper's meetings with Mitt Romney, Rick Perry and Rick Santorum.
The Associated Press reported Cain's meeting with the paper was canceled before Union Leader editorial page editor Drew Cline was aware that the former pizza executive was not coming.
Messing with the Union Leader could have serious consequences for Cain in New Hampshire. The paper's endorsement is the state's biggest prize for Republicans and is seen as a conservative stamp of approval elsewhere in the country.
Cline mocked Cain on Twitter, asking: "If Cain is more than 30 minutes late for our interview, is the next one free?"
Before it was clear that Cain was not coming, the paper's publisher, Joe McQuaid, said he would not conduct a 20-minute interview.
Cain forbade the C-SPAN cameras after the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel posted footage of Cain struggling to answer a question about President Barack Obama's handling of Libya during a meeting there on Monday.
Cain's spokesman, J.D. Gordon, later explained that the former pizza executive was going on four hours sleep and said the episode was not a gaffe because Cain ultimately was able to explain his position.
Epstein adds that it's now official that the editorial board meeting is off, with this from publisher Joe McQuaid:
"I think it's crazy for a guy who want to be a major presidential candidate here in New Hampshire not to take the opportunity for a full-length interview with the state's largest newspaper. The window is drawing to a close and my guys have other things to do," he said. "Gingrich scheduled for for interview on Monday. And it will be televised on C-SPAN. Cain was here earlier but not for a full-blown interview."
McQuaid, asked whether he thought Cain was dissing the Union Leader, replied, "No. It's politics and campaigns. I don't think the guy is going anywhere now anyway."

Cain blames the newspaper. He will now ban ALL newspaper interviews from being interviewed. Jeez. he's hiding from the CONSERVSTIVE media now too!
The Cain campaign apparently has a perfectly good explanation for not showing up to meet the Union Leader this morning: It's the newspaper's fault. The latest:
Cain spokesman J.D. Gordon blamed [the paper] for what happened, saying they’d canceled the interview when the length of the meeting could not be agreed to. Gordon said the paper asked that the meeting be 45 minutes, not the 60 that McQuaid said an all their candidates have done. Cain, he said, did not have time Thursday for a longer sit down.
Gordon said the campaign will not allow any future newspaper editorial board meetings to be videotaped.

“Videos are typically used for television and it’s a newspaper. We decided we didn’t want to do the video,” Gordon said.

I am so glad he is making himself look incompetent now rather than later. This dude better slip below Santorum by next week.

Well is this any surprise? For those of who with more than one brain cell?

good call. Run the strongest repub possible against obama.
i actually feel embarassed for people who say, with a straight face, that Cain is competent. It's like arguing about santa at this point.

Exactly. It is like listening to someone trying to convince you that unicorns exist.

i dont remember ANY candidate hiding from cameras, while running for president.
Cain't toast. Your defending him only shows GB that you have shitty standards in politicians.
IMO, you sohuld say "Cain isn't prepared... let's vote for another GOPer".
There are 4-5 which would do a fine job and could beat obama. Why defend the guy who brags he's not a reader?

should cain pull out of the primary race, 333386?
-
Isn't this basically the same move that Palin did after she gave a series of disastrous interviews
Its the media's fault that they are both so stupid
Both Cain and Palin do best with short slogans and soundbites and no follow up questions

LOL COMING FROM AN OBAMA VOTER!!!!! Bro - you got behind one of the biggest failures in american history!
-
Is Cain incompetent and underqualified?
Just a simple yes or no response will work.

Compared to romney, RP, Hunts, Newt - Yes
Compared to Obama - No

There was no mention of Romney, Newt, Obama or anyone else in the question.
Answer the question you were asked, not the question you want to be asked.

The answer is relative to who is the choice. Compared to what?
Cain in general for POTUS? No way.
Compared to Obama - sadly - yes.

how come you were cheering for him a while back

He seems to be regressing. He is just not acting composed like he used to.

I was cheering for cain back then too. i have to defend 33 on this one. he was a helluva saleman with those quick 1-liners in debates that made you think "Wow, he's on top of this!"
I thought he was a very smart man. I'm sure most voters did too.
Now, it's not even about the shady bs sex claims. It's about him admitting - and bragging - about not knowing more about a lot of things. When he says "We need a leader, not a reader"... it's terrible. Why? Because you need to READ to learn how to LEAD.
You NEED an understanding of how the world works, and how these nations work together and against each other, in order to do a good job as president. If his repsons is "I will consult my generals on this..." Okay, that's fine, can we please vote for one of these generals instead of you? You're the sleepy middleman? that's it?
Repubs donated money to him. We all know that we defend a shitty CD we bought because "hey, there are a few good songs on it" or we eat the other half of a bland sandwich, because we did pay $6 for that sandwich. Cain is that bland sandwich, that shitty cd that ya gotta defend so you don't feel stupid.

Correct.
95%ers can't grasp the concept of changing your mind about a candidate.

LOL....spot on post. I bought Cain's bs too. One thing I find sad is that many of the same people who are so critical of Cain and his not really being what we thought he was, are the same people who defend Obama on EVERY issue. Not you, as I know you are critical, but there are quite a few on here that defend him regardless of anything.
-
bob barr isn't an idiot.
lol

this is exactly why we NEED the debates and the months of campaigning. So the frauds can be exposed. If you are intelligent, the people will see it. Web makes that VERY easy. Same if you're an idiot.
Romney is the frontrunner, but he's not in the news every day with some bullshit embarassment.
Cain and perry were both out of their league.
Bachmann failed to deliver anything more than stump speeches.
Newt, we shall see.
imagine a world where Perry and Cain skip the GOP debates and win the nomination easily. Now imagine them melting like this in the GENERAL election against obama? They can read speeches and throw out glib one-liners when nobody is asking Qs. But even a "REALLY TOUGH GOTCHA Q" like was obama right on libya... it was 5 minutes of stammering.

Exactly. And it's not like Cain is a stupid person - far from it. It's just that not everyone is cut out for prime time.

cain is a great marketing man for a low-cost product.
He puts the shimmer and shine into low-quality pizza.
he puts the gloss and excitement into a 9-9-9 tax plan.
But he is not a strong decision maker.
he doesn't understand global issues.
he is very poor at crisis mgmt.
he is rattled easily.

So 4 in 10 people, in the middle of 3 wars and a great depression, still stand by obama.
4 in 10 will vote for anyone with an (R) by their name.
If Ron paul enters the race as a 3rd, or if obama can convince 1 of 2 of those 10 people that the repubs is incompetent, then he wins.
terrible odds. Why was bush at 30% and Obama at 40%?

Ok, are you just being a troll? We have been over this many times. The base demo vote who would vote for obama no matter what he did is about 40-45% - that is blacks, minorities, govt workers, communists, eco-nazis, union thugs, gays, etc.
-

Nice red herring argument. She would beat obama if she ran. Obama has alienated so many people - Bernie Madoff would beat obama at this point, although in actuality Madoff is probably more honest than obama

hahaha yeah commies vote for Obama. Such an idiot. Why not tell us how Cain will beat Obama some more? Or Palin? hahaha keep melting down. It's comical!

Cain stiffed editorial board, but found time to pre-tape Letterman

IF IF IF haha such a tool. You have failed. Why not go bump some nonsense thread and meltdown some more.

Read it and weap.

NOW WE KNOW.
Now we know why Cain requested secret service coverage, long before any of the other candidates.
This keeps reporters and people back.
and his campaign might be losing donations, and paying for organization and security is expensive.

it seems like his life is just one continuous meltdown

weep about what? Palin melted down in the face of media pressure. Who cares what Obama's rating is right now. It means nothing. Keep on melting!
-

Cain in general for POTUS? No way.
Compared to Obama - sadly - yes.
Are you stupid? There was no "compared to" part in that question. Did you see me type Obama or anyone else other than Cain in what you were asked? We all know you are stupid, but damn... you are putting work into over convincing us here.
Let's try it again. Either answer Yes or No. Your response should have no more than three letters in it (YES) if you think so, or no more than two letters (NO) in it if you don't think so. Easy enough? Ok, here comes the question again...
Do you think Cain is competent and qualified to be POTUS?
Remember now, just a yes or no for a response.
-
haha great stuff!
333 is the biggest cry baby on this site. Daily meltdowns at the drop of a hat.
Watch out, if you point out the obvious about him, he will start projecting his gay tendencies on you and claim you are stalking him.

please, no qualifiers, 33. None of the "more qualified than OBAMA!"

I already answered. Compared to romney paul newt hunts - no.
Compared to obama yes.
In general - no.
-
No you did NOT answer the question. You answer what you wanted the question to be.
So once again you are just going to run and dodge instead of providing a simple answer. No surprise there.
-
please, no qualifiers, 33. None of the "more qualified than OBAMA!"
Be honest with me. After I spent the prior post specifically telling him how to answer the question and you reenforced it with yet another clarification. Did you really think he would answer correctly?
-
not without mentioning obama lol!
-
Do you think Cain is competent and qualified to be POTUS?
Remember now, just a yes or no for a response.
BUMP!!!
Answer or continue to run.

After 5 days of getting your ass kicked and running all over the board dodging this, you finally answer.
Ok, I will go and answer yours now.
