“I can only see her doing that if she was sure she could beat both Obama and Romney. “
I agree, and I’ll add Perry to that list. Now, if it’s Cain, she won’t waste her time, as her votes are already with him (and so is her politics).
Actually, she was asked about Cain, and she basically said that the next GIOP candidate should have experience as an elected executive, with a track record of shrinking budgets, slashing regulatory dampers on businesses, etc. She hadn’t yet made her decision about running, but she would not at that time support Cain. I can’t see how that would have changed for Mr. Gaffe-tastic.
