If this is true, it makes me very very nervous for Herman tonight. In my opinion, both he and Newt have benefited from staying out of the internal fray and taking their fight directly to Obama. Bachmann attacked Perry, then tanked. Perry attacked Romney, then tanked.

I hope Cain doesn't lose track of what has started and sustained his momentum. He has a deep background as a motivational speaker - he does it very well. Romney has a lot of campaign experience from 2008 that involved giving and taking nasty jabs between the candidates. He does it very well. Stick to your strengths, Herman. Don't play to Romney's strengths.

Romney is going first, then Cain is going after him. Why is this news?

"I’m not going after Perry. I don’t need to go after Perry," Cain said, per POLITICO's Juana Summers.

Hmmm. Not a transcript but "per POLITICO's Juana Summers". I'd like to see what the context was, not that a fine organization like POLITICO would ever take anything out of context.

I'm afraid some Perry supporters might want to goad Cain into making a fool out of himself like Perry did in the last debate with his juvenile sniping at Romney.

Let Cain be Cain and let Romney and Perry be the ones acting like clowns.

I see your point about Cain and the FedReserve. But one Paultard doesn't make a flood and I don't see how Perry and his supporters enter into the equation.

This is going nowhere. Frankly, some of you Cain supporters have Cain fever, Quite a few have turned into Cain cultists! The gratuitous attacks on Perry from you guys will sadly continue unabated.

What makes you think Bachmann or Paul have a clue? Makes no difference anyway; neither of them have a prayer.

Bravo, excellent comment. And so true. Cain has great one-liners, but that’s just about it. His 9-9-9 plan would be a disaster, his foreign policy knowledge is zip, oh but he makes people laugh. Amazing what people will fall for, another charm offensive by someone with no experience, just like Obama. Geez.

Oh really, loudly proclaim that you’ll attack another candidate before the debate???

Gee, this doesn’t sound staged or anything.

What the heck is Bloomberg television? I bet this will turn out to be a great debate, and only 400 people will see it.

This call out is one of 2 things:

1) Cain’s been going a mile a minute with appearences and interviews. I think he’s on auto-pilot right now and looking to make a splash.

2) Romney seriously looks like a bufoon when he goes on the attack. It doesn’t come naturally to him, and it’s the only thing that chips away at his highly polished veneer. Has Cain “called out” Romney to get Romney to come out swinging at him? That way Cain gets attention, and Romney looks kinda stupid.

If it’s the latter, it’s brilliant. If it’s the former, it’s the beginning of crash & burn for Cain.

And likewise, if Palin endorses Perry those supporting Cain would have a fit and then explode.

Palin’s endorsement means nothing.

Do you mean that you don’t believe the Perrywinkles when they tell us he is the only viable alternative to Mitt Romney? What are you, a heretic? :->
