    Herman Cain cancels interview with New Hampshire newspaper after barring video cameras

    Cain talks to reporters on Nov. 17, 2011, in Concord, N.H. (AP/Jim Cole)

    Herman Cain has canceled an interview with the Manchester, N.H., Union Leader after his campaign had placed restrictions on video cameras recording the planned sit-down with the paper.

    The Cain campaign said that the cancellation of the Thursday morning interview was due to a scheduling conflict--and had nothing to do with its unusual request to bar video cameras, which the paper had already complied with. "The interview is at a newspaper, not a TV station," a Cain spokesman told the Huffington Post.

    In an interview with the editorial board of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel on Monday, Cain stumbled on a question about U.S. foreign policy toward Libya. That interview was videotaped, and the clip quickly went viral.

    The Union Leader had originally allotted an hour for its interview with Cain, but the campaign cut access to the Republican candidate back to just 20 minutes. The paper's publisher, Joe McQuaid, pushed back in a move that preceded the last-minute cancellation.

    The Union Leader's primary-eve endorsement is much coveted among presidential hopefuls, and this dust-up presumably won't endear Cain to the paper's editorial board.

      Duh Cain! Cuban people speak Spanish - maybe youv'e heard of it?

      Herman keeps taking fire as he climes higher and higher, eplodes, and is now going down in flames. Meanwhile, Romney keeps flying under the radar as Newt starts attracting fire from the Left.

        I'm not from the left, but I did do my research. There are four Republican candidates you don't want. Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, and Jon Huntsman. Why because they are all members of the CFR. If you don't know what the CFR=Council on Foriegn Relations is then research it. Their is a list of all it's members. Perry, Romney, and Huntsman had their names removed from the list, hoping people wouldn't find out that they are members. People I truely suggest that you research each one of these people and the CFR, (for example Mitt Romney and the CFR ) (the CFR and the NWO are connected).

      Burning bridges is not a good idea. Hiding from the public is an even worse idea. Cain seems to be rich in bad ideas and poor in people skills. One needs people skills in order to President ot the United States.
      • daedra 6 mths ago
        But Cain isn't burning bridges or hiding from the public, you liar.

        Cain is the only one bringing an exciting overhaul to the tax code with vast beneficial implications, you liar.

        Cain has fantastic people skills, in fact it's one of the main reasons why he has risen to front runner from being an unknown in politics, you liar.
      • howiedude 6 mths ago

        Nein, nein, nein. (German for no, for those of you who want to correct my spelling). It's been over for a couple of weeks, the corps just hasn't collapsed yet. Newt's next. What a crew of incompetent fools.
    • you2  •  New York, United States  •  6 mths ago
      You don't want video cameras at your interviews? I guess when you address Congress as President or hold press conferences on Iran when your President, no cameras will be allowed either. These non-contenders complain about being misquoted. With video documentation, that's impossible of course, and that scares them because they know they don't know squat and are only salesmen, not leaders.
