POLITICO's Reid Epstein, on the ground in Manchester, N.H., reports:
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.

my only point is that you have posted three statements on this thread which are completely false
1. UL is in the bag for Milt
2. that I said Milt has no chance in NH
3. that dems can vote in the NH Gop primary
other than that, I have no point. it is true that posters can post false information on here and it is not a ‘Report Abuse’ incident. So post away.
It sounds like you decided to skip the Cain rally. Perhaps you are boycotting the process now.
Hasn't been proven true or false yet...JMO, which I am entitled to; last time I checked.
2.that I said Milt has no chance in NH
Where did I say that?
3. that dems can vote in the NH Gop primary...
They register as 'independents'...they do it here and in Vermont. Then they vote for the lamest GOP candidate on the ballot, as they did with McCain in 2008. Registered Republicans voted for Romney over McCain by a small margin.
Cain rally? Didn't even know about it until I saw it on the news. Don't need to attend rallies, though...I know the candidates' positions. If you like rallies, enjoy!
Three false statements? Nice try. Enjoy the primary.
is there any explanation at all from the Cain camp?
I seriously doubt you were ever a Cain supporter....just saying
Questions!
So, who would it endorse?
What one-line insult would that be? I’d bet that I was for Herman Cain before you were. But, I want someone who can beat Obozo. At one time I thought Cain could, but now, I’m not so sure. Now, tell me please: What is my “one line insult” and give me the names and dates of the Threads I posted my “one line insult” on. Then, take a break and work on not being so thin-skinned and go get your panties out of a wad.
Not so weird rumor, it seems.....as of yesterday, he IS being given Secret Service protection.
I don't appreciate your response towards me, but I guess you're upset.
I apologize.
In a move that wont garner him any media favor in New Hampshire, Cain skipped a scheduled interview with the Union Leader at 10 a.m. yesterday, making a last minute cancellation when the campaign said they would cut short a scheduled 60-75-minute sit-down for a brief, 20-minute appearance. The Union Leader reportedly rejected the offer as not enough time for an in-depth interview.
When will you guys stop getting tripped up by the media? Oh, and that Libya "gaffe" that has many of you dancing in the streets was also a dirty media trick. Turns out they edited the full interview: http://freedomtorch.com/blogs/255/4163/the-gaffe-that-almost-wasn-t
Cain did not DITCH the Union Leader. His campaign asked them to cut it short and they refused:

I read that he didn’t want CNN cameras. Is that wrong?
That would be C-SPAN cameras — as with Perry’s interview with the U-L.
It very well could be wrong, considering the source.
Don’t be so gullible.
That isn’t an answer.
I have not insulted you.
You pinged me to my own thread.
I didn’t ping you to your thread, I pinged you to my post #93
I am not insulted by you, I thought you might want to know the truth.
Guess I was wrong! (imagine my surprise)
well, i think some of us are getting “tripped up” by Cain’s staff. We cannot run his campaign for him. But we can give Cain ‘moral support’. That ain’t gonna do him much good tho.
What is it they say about not picking a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel?
