Problem is that Rove and the beltway crowd is throwing in with Mittens and trying to kill the Tea Party Newt has attacked Obama the dems and their media and not savaged other pub candidates. Defending Cain when he didn’t have to and the MSM assault on Cain would benefit him means a lot to me, and IMo says a lot about his character at this time.
I think he was defending Cain because of his own past baggage. It’d look very hypocritical if he didn’t.
