Does Cain Really Have a Shot?
Nate Silver on Herman Cain’s presidential candidacy:
“Has there ever been a candidate with such strong polling but such weak fundamentals? Almost certainly not, at least not at this relatively advanced stage of the race.”
Perry May Skip Future Debates
Maggie Haberman reports that Rick Perry, who has not proven himself to be the most compelling performer in debates, may not attend any more Republican presidential primary debates after the upcoming debate in Michigan.
Said Perry spokesman Mark Miner, “I think all the campaigns are expressing frustration right now. We said we would do Michigan but the primaries are around the corner and you have to use your time accordingly.”
National Journal: “There appears to be consensus in the Rick Perry campaign that skipping some future debates may be the best strategy for the Texas governor.”
