Hilarious. He's set up outside the historic but deteriorating Michigan Central Station, and nobody's there except media and a handful (if that) of an audience.

His bus just pulled up as I write this. Lead story on Faux News, no doubt.

1. Was he able to sell 5 more of his books or will his campaign have to buy another 36,000 copies?

:shrug:

2. Was there free food and drink?

That could account for some of the 'crowd.' Curiosity on the part of various & sundry passersby is also a big draw :eyes:

3. This is why Cain WON'T be the Republican nominee...

Public polling is focusing on name recognition and what people see in the debates. Collecting actual votes requires organization skill; the sloppy planning for this rally shows he doesn't have it.

4. CNN is carryingit live ... but they'll cut away from Obama.

Oh good ... they just cut from him.

took way too long.

5. 19 cases of lobster tails cooked and steaming hot with lottsa cold beer all for FREE

7. You know what was significant about this?

CNN ran it live.

MSNBC didn't

FOX didn't.

FOX is not aboard the Cain train. I believe that they see the 9 9 9 plan as being a godsend to Democrats and are going to do everything they can to bury Cain.
