OTOH, if you stay above the fray, you’re accused of running for someone’s VP slot. It’s truly a darned if you can do, darned if you can’t situation...
Cain is going to be walking into a lot more of those traps now that he’s within striking distance of Romney. He should be strong enough to prevail.
If Cain can’t take it from other Republicans what the heck will he do if he should get the nomination?...expect the Dems and Obama to play nice?
