Herman Cain backs down from ‘Perry rock’ story

This is a good interview for Herman Cain and it starts with him being asked about the Perry controversy. He plays off comments that he made yesterday by saying that he was only referring to the word on the rock as insensitive, not Perry, and that he has since learned that Perry’s family painted over the word and that he doesn’t feel that the word reflects negatively in any way on Governor Perry.

Now we all know what he said. But really, I think this is the case of a citizen candidate learning a big lesson about taking the media’s word for something when he should’ve known better. After all, he received harsh criticism yesterday, even from Rush, and I’m quite certain it got his attention. I expect this will only make him stronger as he goes forward.

Here’s the full interview:
