Hi kate....you are right to wonder if this hurts or helps...I can see the press saying “birds of a feather flock together” in relationship to their wanderings from the nest. However Newt and Cain already made it clear they were “buddies” for years so with their chit chat debate before, so this really isn’t going to surprise the Cainites...remember they were liking the idea of a Cain/Newt ticket...Many even said they’d settle for a Newt/Cain ticket as well.
I think Newt has plans for Cain and they need to just get over their lose as soon as possible so they can get on board with Cain, who said he’s not going to be silenced, and Newt who is certainly going to have a place for Cain....good things a com’in down the pike!
caww, would bet Newt will handle this well. Possibly some black conservatives and those that think Cain’s tax plan was great may jump behind Newt. SC should prove interesting
