Confident Cain plans to cut back campaign events

Confident Cain plans to cut back campaign events
By SHANNON McCAFFREY
Associated Press
BIRMNGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- Presidential candidate Herman Cain is full of confidence about his 2012 prospects.
It's been weeks since he's set foot in first-voting Iowa or New Hampshire, yet he said Saturday he said expects to finish first or second in each state.
He's also predicting victory in South Carolina, which will hold the South's first presidential contest in 2012.
"And then, look out," Cain said Saturday before plunging into a crowd of football tailgaters at Samford University, a Baptist-affiliated school in Alabama.
That win, he says, will set the stage for him to capture the GOP nomination.
Cain, however, said he plans to "dial back" his campaign and media appearances in order to avoid missteps. Since climbing in the polls, he has had a series of fumbles, forcing him to clarify comments on abortion, immigration and terrorism suspects.
Cain has chalked up the mistakes to a grueling campaign schedule jammed with media interviews. Such itineraries are standard fare on the presidential campaign trail and it is unclear how aggressively he will restrict his schedule.
A former pizza magnate who has never held elected office, Cain is adapting from a longshot candidate hustling for any media attention to a front-runner who must be more selective with his time and disciplined in his message.
"When you're too tired you're not on your `A game,'" the 65-year-old Georgia businessman told a throng of reporters who greeted the arrival of his bus on the Samford campus.
He said it was a mistake to schedule interviews immediately following debates. Cain maintained he did not flip-flop on issues, but simply did not hear questions properly.
The blunt-spoken Cain has been more cautious lately. At a campaign stop at the Alabama Republican Party headquarters on Friday, Cain paused then asked a reporter to repeat a complicated two-part question on immigration.
"I don't want to have to clarify," he said with a laugh.
Not everyone thinks walking back a misstatement is a sign of weakness.
"I like that if he says something, he's not afraid to turn around and admit he's wrong," said Phil Andrews, of Birmingham, who tried without success to reach the candidate and have him sign his Cain t-shirt.
"He's human and that's just fine."

He is definitely a douche, not even someone to consider if the US wants to have a chance in the next four years.

Wasn't that long ago he pretty much said any blacks that don't vote for him are brainwashed idiots. That kind of seals the deal there. Originally Posted by oufinny

Good idea. Smart idea.Confident Cain plans to cut back campaign events
Over-exposure is a possibility.
Also, there is one full year to go before the election.
Campaigning every day is draining, and ruins people.
And, is it even necessary? No.

Just think, if Cain won in 2012 he would be our first black president.

They vote their financial interests, I don't call that stupid I call that intelligent. Even if it is detrimental to the rest of us, you can't fault someone for surviving. Originally Posted by Big Pimpin

And all the major community and national leaders support democratic candidates so is it a surprise? You can say the same about many affluent white conservatives in regards to support the GOP, political strategists don't have it as hard as they make it out to be. Originally Posted by Big Pimpin

more like those great right to work for low wage laws... Originally Posted by Big Pimpin

with the exception of VA, all the right to work states in the US have the lowest per capita and household incomes. including the states that do not have high black populations, so nice try...
VA is spared because of the military bases and all the Feds that work at Quantico.
the right to work states also have the highest crime rates, the highest rates of teen pregnancy, the lowest rates of HS graduates, lowest ATC test scores and surprisingly no Ivy League Schools...
just about 70-75% of the global 500's located in the US are in the northern states, this may have something to do with the lack of educated workers and the lack of skilled workers such as those found in labor unions who go through years of formal training, which are not found in the right to work states.Last edited by LAM; 11-01-2011 at 12:05 PM.

If more were hard dedicated workers like good old Herman Cain or the hispanic immigrants mabey more companys would consider setting up shop in the South...
