Herman Cain swung by midtown Manhattan yesterday evening to tape an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman. One of the topics that came up was Cain’s 9-9-9 plan.

“You don’t even know what it means,” said Letterman. “I heard somebody say to you, ‘how would so-and-so and so-and-so be handled under 9-9-9?’ And you said, ‘I don’t know.’”

“That was one of those obscure questions,” said Cain.

“But you’ve gotta deal with the obscurity when you’re president!” Letterman responded.

Later in the interview, Cain joked, “Are you trying to talk me out of this?”
