Good news, glad Mr. is taking a lead over Mitt in this latest AP polls.

By the way, does anybody know what’s behind the Newt & Cain willing to participate in the upcoming Lincoln-Douglas debate? I hope they won’t attack one another just so that other GOP candidates can benefit from this.

In the interview with Piers Morgan, Cain said the two candidates he had the most respect for and would make a good president were Gingrich and Romney. I wouldn't expect fireworks between the two.

Incidentally, if Cain came on FR and posted what he said about Romney in the interview, would he be ZOTed?

That would be out of character for both of them. More likely, this will be a very issue oriented, "real" debate, and one which raises the stature of both of them.

Of course, that won't stop the media from declaring Cain the loser, and that it marks the end of his candidacy (a pronouncement that will be as accurate as the other 999 times they made that same prediction).

I was wondering the same thing. And why no "front runner" Romney? What are the circumstances behind this debate, will have to look it up when I get home from work.
