The best thing about this is the contrast between this style of debate and the garbage that the Drive-bys do...both of them think well on their feet...though Newt I think is the best debater of all. How I would love to see him debate Obama!
I’m voting for Herman Cain for President. If he is nominated by the (R)’s, so much the better.
I am not going to settle for Romney.
Did they invite any other candidates?
I like this a lot!
I want them both to do well.... but I will be cheering for Newt.
Newt will be in his element, the professor. It really should be quite educational.
um... this might be a huge mistake for Cain.
Gingrich is a phenominal debater... and has nothing to lose, while Cain has everything to lose and little to gain from this...
I can’t believe Cain would agree to this.
love it love it love it
I would presume that Newt is going to debate Romney?
This is an excellent strategy to introduce America to the GOP ticket in 2012, in Texas, no less! I am very happy.
If debates were the deciding factor in elections, (which they are not) it would be bye bye Cain.
Nevermind - I thought they were going to literally debate out in the woods, turns out it’s in The Woodlands Texas. My bad
This is great! Hope it is televised. If nothing else it will sharpen Cain’s debating skills. I like both gentlemen. A lot is said about Newt’s “baggage” but is it any worse than McShame’s? Don’t forget what Jimmy Carter said way back then: a single thought is as bad as the deed itself (or something like that). True Christians have to agree with him. Let him who is without sin cast the first stone. Is anyone getting it or am I casting pearls before swine? In other words. I would vote for either Herman or Newt - both would be better than anyone else parading before us at present. Bring it on!
I just hope FOX NEWS has the intelligence to broadcast this event live.
I do not trust Newt alone because of his personal failings. Herman Cain has none of those, but he lacks the political skills of Newt. A Cain/ Newt ticket would be the smartest in many years, and would blow away anything the Left could put forth...0bama/Biden? LOL. Bring it on!
Gingrich/Cain or Cain/Gingrich
I would vote for either.
My initial reaction was to question Herman’s sanity.
But after giving it some thought, I changed my mind. Newt is the best debater of the candidates, and he could destroy Cain, but will he? I doubt it. He’s too smart to get overly aggressive. Remember how he likes to steer debate conversations toward Obama?
For all our talk about a Cain/Gingrich or Gingrich/Cain ticket, maybe the fix is already in. Maybe they’re just looking to capitalize on the added publicity against a common enemy. Who knows?
This is a great idea. I totally love Cain, but I expect Newt will bury him(as he would most people) in such a debate.
Shocked that Cain would agree to this, as Newt is one hell of a debater. Good for him. Can’t imagine the programmed Mittens or mechanical Perry could last long.
