I watched this in its entirety last night (November 5, 2011), and as I suspected, it was a mutual admiration society.

However – having said that – I believe that far more was accomplished in this venue than the usual dog and pony show. Doesn’t matter what we think of each of the individuals – but a tremendous amount of thought-provoking info came out of this. Cain got the biggest response last night at the close when each one was allowed to ask the other, one final question.

Cain asked Newtie, “If you were to be selected as the Vice President….” Gingrich really got laid away with that, as did the audience. It shows that Cain really has a great sense of humor.

Finally, everything about this 90 minutes is exactly what I suspected it would be – a chance for these two guys to show how they would work together, given the opportunity. It’s too bad that it was buried on C-Span. (Ed.)
