I came across something a little while ago.
Rick Perry, who will unveil his economic plan starting with an energy speech on Friday, did not get a chance to answer that question during the New Hampshire debate. But his campaign told me Wednesday that Steve Forbes is among those advising the Texas governor. Forbes, chairman and editor in chief of Forbes Media, ran for president in 1996 and 2000 and pushed both times for a flat tax, private Social Security accounts, and medical savings accounts.

So, I think its good that Cain mentions names and types to keep the momentum going.
He was flat-out asked, 'what is your plan.' He didn't have an answer.
The TOPIC of the debate was the economy. He knew it. They all knew it.
He was unprepared. "I'll have it together in three days," is not a good answer.
