Good move. They won’t be able to manipulate what he says.

You mean the newspaper won't be able show accurate footage of Cain not knowing what the heck he is talking about and generally fumbling around trying to figure out how to answer easy questions.

Everyone in the whole world knows why the Cain campaign doesn't want these newspaper interviews videoed, and it is not because they manipulate what he says. It is entirely because Cain is basically ignorant on most policy questions and doesn't want the public to see just how little he actually knows.

Look, I like Herman. The media, particulary these newspapers only want to use them to try and manipulate the content and show somethinh out of context.

I know Herman ain’t perfect. None of them are. I am not actually decided on who I am for.

But I won’t play into this sort of thing.

Bullshit. Cain can do a 30 minute interview where he answers 29.5 minutes perfectly and the 1 answer he fumbles will be played over and over in the MSM!!! Good for him for telling this RINO Romney-loving paper to go to hell.

That Milwaukee interview where he “fumbled” Libya the MSM are so anti-Cain they didn’t even bother to show his full answer to the question! All they show is the 10 seconds where he’s collecting his thoughts.

If you want to be on the same side as the conservative-hating, Romney-loving media please go for it.

You mean the Media will not be allowed to selectively edit footage of Cain like they did last time

Odd Rush Limbaugh says you Newt-bots spin about Cain is moronic.

I would have to say I agree.

RUSH: Now, he said that twice. He said, “Well, I’m for collective bargaining as long as it’s not collective hijacking, and as long as it doesn’t create an undue burden on the state.” Again, the attempt here is to make it sound as though he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. But on Libya, when you listen to the whole interview, the whole question and answer, he ended up getting Libya right. His biggest mistake was admitting he was having a hard time focusing. He shouldn’t have said that in front of the enemy, the enemy being the editorial board, but he said I’m having a hard time focusing here.

Federal workers do have collective bargaining. Some of them do. Some federal workers do have collective bargaining. It’s not the same as in some of the states. For example, the air traffic controllers do have collective bargaining over their wages, and some federal workers only have collective bargaining rights over work conditions. Some of them have collective bargaining rights over other aspects, but not wages. It’s all over the ballpark. It is a mistake to say that federal workers, as the editorial board member here said, don’t have collective bargaining rights; some of them do.

In any event, substantively Cain was right. Substantively Cain got it right on collective bargaining for federal unionized workers, and the editors got it wrong. And even the Journal Sentinel article that accompanies the video eventually admitted that Cain got it right in his answer and their editors had it wrong. But no matter, they are attempting to portray via the video here a slow, ignorant, uninformed, unsure of himself candidate who really is just out classed and is just totally out of his league. And the video, under that impression, under those auspices, has gone viral, and that’s the thought accompanying it with everybody who sends it out.

Don't care how much or how little he knows on policy questions. I care about how much I can trust him to push the conservative agenda and not back down when the Dems shriek. I care about how much confidence I can have that he won't sell us out and be just another RINO.

Lack of knowledge can be fixed. Lack of character can't.

I’m not trying to be combative here, I just want to know:

Did either of you watch the entire 35 minute interview from Milwaukee? Or did you only watch the snipped clip that showed his response to the question about Libya?
