Good grief - the semantics - SUBMIT?????????????
Why not acquiesed’ or ‘agreed to’ or ‘plans to’ or ‘arranges to’??????????????????????????
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeshhhhhhhhhhhh
One would not grant an interview to a hot, stinking, steaming pile of Obamastuff.
So why is Herman granting an interview to a hot, stinking, steaming pile of unionstuff?
Hey, Politico, how about you actually try a more journalistic title like, “GOP Presidential candidate, Herman Cain, to be interviewed by the Union Leader?”
or...”GOP’s Herman Cain agrees to Union Leader hour-long interview?”
Jeez, you people there are so transparently biased...but that’s nothing new.
Yeah, like they will air an hour long interview. The only reason they want an hour on tape is to get enough material to splice together a couple of 15 second hit pieces.
I’ll tell you what he’s afraid of. He’s afraid of selective editing of 60 minutes worth of tape to find about 10 seconds of one or two quotes that can be taken out of context and twisted to portray him in the worst possible light.
Stupid choice. I love Cain but he makes a lot of bad decisions. How could this interview possibly help him? This is Palin/Couric all over again.
Not good, Herman
If you will cave to the demands of a bunch of whiny dead tree newspaper brats, how are you gonna stand up to the Dems in Congress? Or the ChiComs?
Cain changes his mind more often than I change my socks.
I hate this about Cain. He makes a decision or statement and defends it, then he ends up backtracking. It looks weak.
The Union-Leader hasn’t had any credibility since the Loebs ran it.
A storm is coming.....
1:11 mark begins to tell the story.

"Cain’s spokesman “called me up this morning and wondered if they could come in one day next week for an hour-long interview and have C-SPAN there.”
So who was supposed to be recording the interview before Mr. Cain backed out? Anyone know?
Was it C-SPAN?
If not, then maybe that's why Mr. Cain would first turn down an hour long on camera interview, and then call back asking for one to be on C-SPAN. Because with C-SPAN, you would think it wouldn't be cut, snipped, and edited to trash Mr. Cain.
From now on, Politico will now be called “Polutico”.
I hope the agreement allows the Cain campaign to tape the interview themselves to allow us to see if the paper tries any fast editing to create a gaffe.
Cain is smart. They wanted him to sit for a taped interview where presumably they could cut and edit however they wanted. Cain said, let’s have c-span in there too . That way we can keep the editing tricks out.
This is a good decision by Herman Cain. He needs to get used to MSM’s future attacks which will come for sure. When other candidates appear and Cain refuses, it shows him a bad light. Cain is a fast learner, He should have no problem with this interview, taped or not.
I hope his handlers make sure he has had time to get a decent amount of sleep before. Cain is flying around the country and that has to be exhausting. Just the other day he was in NH, Iowa and FL in a span of just 3 days. I know I could not handle that schedule without jet lag and exhaustion. And I play 4 rounds of golf every week and walk the 18 holes.
I just watched the CSPAN broadcast of Newt at the Union Leader. I’m voting for him.
Hey Politico!
did you get to the bottom of that sleazy sex scandal yet?
