stand toe to toe with anyone on what he has done to deal with issues like that as governor. how do you get the washington examiner? anyway, thank you. i get it in my driveway. an interesting newspaper for certain. thank you, governor sununu. finds the most conservative paper in washington to cite. you have a great sense of humor. isn t the place to put it? through thick and thin. and last night was thin. jay martin of jonathan martin, the senior politico story. what happened? why did rick pull that big upset in colorado? we were watching minnesota and the beauty contest in missouri but he went all the way and swept last night. there is more organic support for rick santorum who is an authentic culture candidate than for mitt romney in the grass roots of the gop. when you have these contests where the electorate is largely comprised of movement conservatives, chris, santorum is going to win.
now this third one surfaced. his campaign is fighting back on the first two accusations and now it s pointing the finger at the perry camp. herman cain says this man, kurt anderson, is responsible for leaking the story to politico. mr. anderson was a consultant to herman cain when he was running for the senate back in 2003 and he knew vital information about herman cain which he could have given to the perry camp. well, herman cain s campaign manager, mark block, said this. the actions of the perry campaign are despicable. rick perry and his campaign owe herman cain and his family an apology. in 2003, herman cain ran for the senate. he hired a general consultant, curt anderson. mr. cain divulged the nra claims to national restaurant association. exactly. mr. anderson. so the campaign at that point
admit they spoke to these two women? why? because they have nothing and cited unnamed sources. ken, politico s reporting this. herman cain told a meeting of georgia house republicans a report was coming out and he would be vindicated. so we ve got a new line from herman cain saying that there s a story going to be coming out, going to vindicate him. what about that? well, we re not aware of what this story is that he s referring to there. i would say this sort of parlor game of trying to guess who the source was really misses what we think is the crux of the story which are these allegations, these settlements which he initially denied and is now admitting, which we have seen in documentation, that, in fact, proves that there was at least one settlement. and you have now the lawyer for the woman who signed this settlement urging the national
happens. perry wins. the person who s going to be the anti-romney in the race. it s too soon to say that s going to happen, that herman cain won t be vindicated. at the moment based on reporting from politico and other sources, herman cain has failed from the begin to get ahead of this story, to say everything he knows and is suffering as a result. ken vogel, wayne slater, great to have you with us tonight. thanks for your reporting. remember to answer tonight s question at the bottom of the screen and share your thoughts on twitter @edshow. herman cain is the front-runner in many polls. a new ad by a pro-obama group shows who the democrats think the president will be facing next november. president obama is asking the top 2% to serve it up to rebuild america. i have a big eddie chart you won t want to miss. so i took my heartburn pill and some antacids. we re having mexican tonight, so another pill then?
perry accuses romney. romney, of course, awaits issue polling results. ron paul accuses the fed. michele bachmann slams cain. right wing talkers accuse liberals. liberals say, party! we love this stuff. and the fingerpointing gets worse. seriously. breaking news at this hour. we just find out the washington times reports the following. a friend of the cain campaign believes a national restaurant association employee out of the chicago office leaked the story to the perry campaign via information and influence from mayor rahm emanuel s office. we will continue to update the ed flowchart as developments warrant. i mean, everybody s coming onboard here, martin. great to have you with us tonight. what do you make of this circus? well, it s herman the hunter becomes herman the haunted. haunted by allegations not from one, not from two, but
