that tends to raise suspicion, but, chris, there s an important point to consider. mr. cain said that he s going to take several days to reassess whether or not he s going to stay in this campaign. you know how politics works, chris. that is going to be the only story line that is dominated his campaign for those period of days, and so what s going to happen is voters are not going to do anything but flee from a candidate who has said that they are reassessing whether or not to stay in the campaign. he is effectively torpedoing his own campaign but saying he s going to string out a decision whether or not to stay in the race or not. his poll numbers as a response to this statement are really going to take a hit. well, cain was asked to respond to ginger white s assertion this morning actually that she thought he wasn t fit to be president. let s watch his response to that charge. on ginger white, why would
or 5:00 in the morning, wanting to know if i can help her with her rent or help her with her car note, that doesn t mean that i was calling her. the other thing about those phone calls, which we have requested, that we be given access to them, my attorney and i, is what really was the pattern of those? all it says was 61 calls. i talk to a lot of people 61 times. we don t even know over what period of time. right. well, apparently, jonathan, that s four or five months. that s the challenge that that he has here. every time he goes on here, mr. cain damages his campaign more saying that you text and call a lot of people 61 times is a sound bite that you re going to hear again and again because for a lot of voters out there, when they hear a married man is texting and calling over a period of four months a woman who is not his wife 61 times, that tends to raise suspicion, but, chris, there s an important point to consider. mr. cain said that he s going to
call this toll-free number now. back to hardball. now for the sideshow. first up, with herman cain s campaign reassessing his prospects in the 2012 race, a lot of people are asking which of the other candidates will his supporters turn to? could it really be newt gingrich? jon stewart captured the iron of that news on the daily show last night. let s watch. the scandal has taken its toll on the cain campaign. reports are now emerging that he might be considering withdrawing from the race which i strongly discourage him from doing. i ve already lost trump. i can t lose you, too. if these allegations of sexual impropriety derail cain, who will benefit. herman cain was already losing altitude in this race. where do his votes go? they go to newt gingrich i think.
everyone time some commentator like me is going to say i don t know ha, ha, ha means when i catch you double crossing another issue. he was very condescending and very uncomfortable, but, you know, it reminds me that throughout the campaign season throughout these debates, commentators have talked about how polished mitt romney was, how disciplined and how well he s done in the debates. the fact of the matter was he didn t have any rivals who were anywhere near his level. once you have somebody lobbing tough questions at mitt romney, he begins to sweat. he gets snarky. he doesn t have any good answers, so i m not sure he was quite the polished debater so many people said. he just didn t have anybody who was prepared to throw real questions at him. so he lobs, but he doesn t lobby, just to be clear on that? okay.
