Kudos to Cain for holding his own with O’Donnell, a mean, tough left-winger and a sharp debater. I think Cain got the better of him in the Vietnam War part of their exchange, when O’Donnell fatuously tried to argue that Cain would have better served his country by toting a rifle in the rice paddies, than contributing his research capabilities to the war effort. Otherwise, I’d say Cain fought him to a draw. It’s hard to see how the Hermanator gains by appearing on O’Donnell’s show, as he can’t hope to win any votes from that left-wing audience. But with Fox News giving him short shrift in favor of their chosen candidate Mitt Romney, Cain may well have decided that he better take any nationally televised interview offered, even when the offer comes from an openly hostile left-wing network. That’s a devil’s bargain, and I don’t envy Herman Cain.
If a Conservative candidate will get in the lying liberal media’s face, they will benefit. If they let them themselves be intimidated, they will lose greatly. And Herman can’t be intimidated. They’re gonna learn not to f**k w/this cat.
Probably his book contract requires him to appear on these TV shows.
