Let's hope that in the end Cain is at the very least on the ticket if not on the top.

Cain bothers me more and more. Saturday morning there were threads that he is willing to take any position -- VP, but he prefers SecDef.

It is curious that he said he would not be Romney's VP, so whose VP would he be? He had said previously that he would never be Perry's VP.

I think the position for which Cain would be qualified would be Commerce.

He seemed to have boned up a little bit on foreign policy last night, but I have been concerned that up till now he had made no visible effort to study up on that (or national defense, for that matter).

Props to Newt for twice slamming Kelley, once in his effort to get him to fight with Romney, and once on his refusal to accept Pelley’s theory that killing terrorists is outside the Rule of Law.

It was most gratifying to see Pelley’s smirk turned into a frown. He’s a creep.

Ok, for the sake of accuracy since it seem to go right out the window the second Cain's name is mentioned. Cain never said he was interested in being Romney's VP. He was asked question in a media interivew if he would be interested in being VP. He said it an interesting game to play but if you wanted to play, yes, he would be VP for someone he thinks he could strength. Romney was never mentioned at all.

All the Perry supporters rushed to the internet to start posting "Cain wants to be Romney's VP" in the mistaken notion attacking Cain personally, as they had with Bachmann, would resurrect their candidate of choice On Friday, Cain was directly asked by radio host Mike Savage, would he be Romney's VP. He said NO. Mike Savage then asked him, "I know you are running to win but if a GOP President asked you, what department would you like to run which would you want." Cain said "sec of Defense". Oh wow, a leading political candidate who answers questions openly and honestly instead of with his handler approved, focus group tests sound bite. I can see how that would be so upsetting to people who have a different candidate in the race

Herman Cain as SecDef???? For real? Any president who nominated him for SecDef would need to be impeached IMMEDIATELY.

Good grief.

Agree that was an odd statement by Cain, preemptive strike on the veep spot when he is that high on the polls seems strange.

I wish we could all forget the woman thing. It doesn’t seem to have hurt him, and I think it’s over, but frantic defending of him on this just keeps it in everyone’s mind.
