Herman Cain Fearful Of Video Cameras, Would Make For Interesting Presidency

(But thankfully we will never need to find out how interesting.)

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.
