CONCORD, N.H. — Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain's meeting with New Hampshire's largest newspaper has been canceled.
The development comes days after he appeared to struggle to respond during a different newspaper interview....

Cain's campaign said it didn't want Thursday's sit-down with the New Hampshire Union Leader to be videotaped and that he only had 20 minutes to spare. The paper says the interview was scheduled for at least an hour.

Lolololol

Here is more, apparently he refused to go because of the cameras... Cain misses meeting with Union Leader editors http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/


Cain's campaign had told the Union Leader that it would not sit for an interview where cameras from C-SPAN were present. The move to shut out cameras came after a stumbling answer earlier this week during an editorial board meeting with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, which was on camera.

Union Leader Publisher Joe McQuaid, who arranges the meetings, said that the Cain campaign had sought to change the parameters of the meeting. Cain's campaign called Wednesday to say they would only do "a twenty minute media availability," McQuaid said.

"We go into some depth with the candidate on his or her views in these meetings so we said 20 will not cut it. It is an hour or nothing," McQuaid said by phone. "So they did not show up. Apparently they drove right past the building."

McQuaid said that Cain's campaign never formally canceled the meeting.

He should drop from all future debates, as I believe they *might* be videotaped...:rolleyes:

(of course, maybe they can give him his questions ahead of time or put him next to Newt for help!)

Cain campaign: No cameras! No cameras! :D
