Cain reverses course: Now says he could support Rick Perry

From Eric Dondero:

Last week, Tea Party favorite Herman Cain seemingly suggested that he couldn't support Rick Perry if he were to win the nomination. He was quoted on CNN: "Today, I could not support Rick Perry as the nominee for a host of reasons."

Now, he's backing off, though still with reservations. From The Hill "Cain would support Perry as GOP nominee, 'but it won't be 100 percent'":

"Now if [the nominee is] one of those other candidates up there, I am going to support them 100 percent. If Governor Perry gets the nomination, I will still support him, but it won’t be 100 percent," Cain said on Hewitt's show.

Cain added that he is more convinced than ever that he will win the nomination, and eventually the White House, so he doesn't expect Perry will get the nomination.
