On Thursday morning , Herman Cain skipped a scheduled interview with the Union Leader after the paper’s editorial board refused a Cain campaign request that the interview not be videotaped and shortened from a planned 60 minutes down to 20. On Friday, the paper responded to the snub.
“We had an hour-long-interview scheduled. They, in effect, canceled that, saying it could only be 20,” said publisher Joseph McQuaid. “It’s kind of funny, I think, that with candidates complaining that the media doesn’t give enough time for depth, that Cain’s camp blows off an in-depth interview.”
The influential paper has yet to editorially endorse a candidate in the campaign ahead of the January 10th primary, and it sounds like that endorsement certainly won’t be going to Cain.
“I don’t think he’s going anywhere from here at this point, anyway,” McQuaid said.
