Looks like tonight Cain is going to mess up some of those conspiracy theories that claim he’s the stalking horse for Romney. Well, I’m glad.

Boortz: Turn you loose.
Cain: And turn us loose. (Laughter) They got halfway to your idea, ok? But then, here’s what I think is really cool. Every candidate will get a chance to ask one other candidate a question.
Boortz: Ok where you going with that one?
Cain: I’m going after Romney.
Boortz: Oh, really?
Cain: Yup, I am going after Romney.
Boortz: Are you telling me, he won’t be your vice presidential candidate?
Cain: I didn’t say that. I am just saying, I have a very penetrating question for him. No, I’m not going after Perry, I don’t need to go after Perry. I will just sit back and let them continue to do what they’re doing.
Boortz: Yeah, don’t shoot the wounded.
Cain: Exactly.
