Earlier today we reported on Ben Howe’s piece declaring the winner of last night’s GOP debate to be businessman Herman Cain. In a post on HotAir, Ed Morrissey agrees, pointing to Cain’s answer about overcoming colon cancer as the sole reason.

Cain pointed out that he was able to get all the care he needed with private health insurance in a span of 9 months before launching his attack; claiming his doctors told him that if government bureaucrats under Obamacare delayed any of his tests or treatments, he would have died.

“Cain’s answer applies to overregulation in general, and it serves as a pretty good explanation for the economic stagnation we are currently enduring,” Morrissey argues.
