Herman Cain vs. everyone else
Issue: 9-9-9 plan
Candidates: Cain vs. everyone else
Cain had a lot to prove at last night's GOP debate, but he wasn't up to par. He couldn't explain the specifics of the 9-9-9 plan, which everyone picked at for the first 20 minutes of the debate. He later said he would agree with exchanging all the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay for one American soldier, which contradicts his statement of not negotiating with terrorists.[WashPost] In all, not a great night for Cain since it revolved so heavily on him poorly defending the plan and not understanding anything outside the plan.
