Hannity vs Cain

A classic exchange on the latest claim of a long affair with a woman Cain admits he gave money to and talked to on the phone in the early hours of the morning:

HANNITY: Herman, isn't this something, though, that would be easily confirmed? She is saying that you flew her around the country. She's saying that you were meeting in hotels. Can't we get plane tickets, confirmations? Can't we get hotels? Don't a lot of these hotels have videotapes that they — some of them, I would assume, hang on to those tapes forever. And —

CAIN: Sean, do me a favor. Let's not play detective. Here's the deal. I am going to prove that — I am going to re-establish my character. OK? We're working on that. My attorney is working on that. We're going to work on that. But I don't want to play detective right now, with all due respect. OK?

"Let's not play detective." He's done. But he's still nationally at 14 percent. Where will those voters go? In Iowa and Florida and New Hampshire, they have created the Newt surge. Maybe some of the rest will go to Paul. I agree with Avlon: things are very rocky in Romneyland.
