Yes, Cain did endorse Newt, and now he’s taking it back. I lost respect for him over this flip-flop. There’s no part of me that thinks Cain’s latest endorsement means anything.
Why would you lose “respect” for Cain if all he says is get “real” given the current delegate count?
What he asked the Speaker to do is be realistic. Newt does not have the delegates. He has run behind Paul in some states and definitely behind Santorum and Romney in all but two. There is no there there.
