The Water Cooler Title: Herman Cain Plans To Cut Campaign Appearances To Avoid Missteps 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 you're `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."

A former pizza magnate who has never held elected office, Cain is adapting from a longshot candidate hustling.... FOUND: Two slurs in one sentence by 0bama media organ, the sleazy NY Daily News. Notice how the Liberal-Left ALWAYS refers to Cain as a "Pizza" something or another in it's underhanded attempts to ridicule him. The "hustling" comment is intended to invoke some kind of sleazy, borderline legal connotation. People are usually described "hustling" tricks and compromising on personal principle. Imagine if 0bama had been described "the former Community Organizer" who was "hustling" whatever?
#2. To: Liberator (#1) He's a Koch Brothers surrogate. That is the most damning thing about him.
#12. To: Ferret Mike (#2) This is all about you hating a black man running for President.
#14. To: no gnu taxes (#12) http://libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=25511&Disp=0 Which is why I posted a video of a Black man explaining why he choses Ron Paul over Mr. Cain, right? Go watch a few of this guy's videos, he's great -- even when we disagree I like him because unlike you, he's an ethical conservative.
#17. To: Ferret Mike, (#14) deflection
#18. To: no gnu taxes (#17) (Edited) Nah, what I'm doing is talking over the crickets that started chirping merrily away while you sulked in front of your Apple II computer trying to think of a way to respond. Where do you go, sport?
#19. To: Ferret Mike, skip intro (#18) Why don't you guys just admit that you trash Cain because you hate decent black people? Koch brothers? Please. Citing moonbat tinfoil ruminations doesn't help your case.
#25. To: no gnu taxes (#19) (Edited) you trash Cain because you hate decent black people? Two women accused Herman Cain of inappropriate behavior Republican Family Values on display. Are you going to start calling him a nigger too, padlock? Should I waste my time and dig up all your posts where you use your favorite word in the whole wide world?
Replies to Comment # 25. "Are you going to start calling him a [expletive deleted] too, padlock?" He likes Mr. Cain as long as it suits his selfish purposes. Essentially this man is that to him already; but he needs a tool for political squabbling, so it suits his agenda to pretend he likes and supports him.
#28. To: Skip Intro (#25) you trash Cain because you hate decent black people? So now you start your "Clarence Thomas" campaign? Yet you had no problem with Sinkboy's multiple rapes? You assholes are so transparent.
