NEW YORK ...........The details of Cain's 15-minute presentation to 500 or more movers and shakers in the Big Apple were considered "off the record," but WND can report that after the presentation, Cain received a standing ovation from the assembled crowd.
......Cain drew parallels to former President George H.W. Bush, who in 1980 lost the nomination to Ronald Reagan but signed on to become his vice president:
"If it is the right nominee, someone that I can respect and that I believe I can work with," Cain said of accepting the vice presidential nomination, "then I would obviously seriously consider it."
The candidate refused to retract his recent criticism of Texas Gov. Rick Perry over a racial profanity found on property the Perry family often used, but he also dismissed the ensuing controversy:
"I made a statement and I stand by it," Cain said. "However long that was on that rock was insensitive. I am done with that issue. I am not going to go back and dig it up. I don't believe that the 'N' word on that rock represents in any way how Governor Perry feels about black people. I am not going to fan that flame because I don't believe there is any fire."

Cain also rejected concerns about the "legal propriety" surrounding the recent killing of al-Qaida leader Anwar al-Awlaki, who was an American citizen:
"If you had a convicted murder in this country who escaped from prison, the fact that he was an American citizen and escaped from prison, would you not shoot him?" Cain asked.

What Romney and Perry did has no baring on an article about Cain. Cain jumped to the race card, to quickly.
Wrong, you said that we forgive Cain for a lot of things because he is black. You can spin all you want, but the fact remains, YOU made it about Race. Perry much?
Wrong, just because I don’t like Cain doesn’t mean I like or support Perry. I actually would like to see Palin. So, you fail, thanks for playing the race card, you lose, AGAIN.
Man....now your playing the “common sense/rationale thinking” card. ;-)
Precisely!
When you are reduced to lying about the other candidates because your candidate is imploding, you have lost the debate.
This is a remarkably sad and pathetic thread when Freepers who should know better are reduced to telling knowing lies about the other candidates in the vain hope it will revive their candidate of choice's fading chances
Having imploded, he and his supporters now are running around blaming everyone else for his total incompetence as a campaigner.
The only ones "helping Romney" are the Perry supporters who insist on clinging to their failed candidate to the last bitter ditch rather then seeing what a grotesque failure he is on the national political stage.
That is stupid. Nobody is making excuses for Perry...just defending the lies about him and his record on illegal immgration...and the whining about "heartless."
It's Romney or Perry and you can be a useful idiot to the MSM if you want but don't bitch after the damage is done that you have enabaled!
Nope, but nice try, it’s funny to see you unable to make a coherent, logical argument, and just flail about. Typical liberal nonsense, typical liberal mentaility. Then again you’re trying to promote the liberal, Perry, so I guess it’s to be expected.
Nice.
A brief glance at your posting history indicates that you spend most of your time on FR slinging insults at anyone who doesn't agree with you. "Stupid" seems to come up a lot.
People who do that have no credibility whatsoever with me and I really don't have time for that.
Have a great day!
