Herman Cain’s spokesman is defending the Republican presidential hopeful after he responded poorly to a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel editorial board question on Libya. From Cain’s spokesman, via the Washington Post’s Rachel Weiner: “He was on about four hours of sleep after flying from Atlanta to Wisconsin. He just took a moment to get his bearings.”

And more, via Chuck Todd: Cain “didn’t say anything wrong or inaccurate, it just took him a while to recall the specifics of Libya.”
