Cain Bails on NH Newspaper Interview

She'll have first campaign trail interview on Fox News

(NEWSER) - America will get its first good look at Gloria Cain soon: The campaign, beset by sexual harassment allegations , is setting up a debut interview for her with Greta Van Susteren on Fox News later this week, a source tells Politico . Until now, Mrs. Cain’s been conspicuously absent from the campaign—prompting occasional media questions. “You will meet my wife publicly in an exclusive interview that we are currently planning and anticipating,” Herman told Fox News. “But you won’t see my family out on the campaign trail on a day-to-day basis.” More»

He's at the top in the first four, with Cain second

(NEWSER) - A CNN/Time survey of the first four states to vote bodes well for Mitt Romney. He leads them all, though Herman Cain is within a whisker in Iowa and South Carolina. A quick look at the top two in the state polls:

• Iowa (Jan. 3): Romney, 24%; Cain, 21%
• New Hampshire (Jan. 10, maybe): Romney, 40%; Cain, 13%
• South Carolina (Jan. 21): Romney, 25%; Cain, 23%
• Florida (Jan. 31): Romney, 33%; Cain 18%

And Samuel L. Jackson narrates

(NEWSER) - The Definitely Not Coordinating With Stephen Colbert Super PAC is certainly spending a lot of time and money urging people not to vote for Stephen Colbert . The latest ad released by the super PAC is an all-out attack on Colbert, an "East Coast Hollywood elite" who is "turning our election into a circus." Says who? Says Samuel L. Jackson, who narrates the ad . More»

Cain 'the only former candidate who shares my values,' says Colbert

(NEWSER) - Before he decided to get in the race himself, Stephen Colbert endorsed Herman Cain ; later, the Definitely Not Coordinating With Stephen Colbert Super PAC put out an ad urging South Carolina to vote for Cain in Saturday's primary. So is it any surprise that now Colbert will hold a rally in South Carolina with Cain? Colbert's campaign announced "The Rock Me Like a Herman Cain: South Cain-olina Primary Rally" in a typically humorous press release yesterday (see it in full at Buzzfeed ), and Colbert himself announced the rally on his show last night, promising it would be "even better than my rally in DC." (And yes, Cain is in on the joke; he tells Fox News , "To be perfectly clear, I will not be assuming Stephen Colbert's identity. We are very different when it comes to the color of our—hair.") More»

The big question: How much will Romney win by?

(NEWSER) - Mitt Romney is going to win the New Hampshire primary, and everyone ostensibly knows it. But that doesn't mean the results won't be interesting. Here are the contests the pundits are watching:

• Romney vs. expectations: With Romney's victory assured, pundits are speculating over his vote tally. One strategist tells Politico he has to hit at least 38%—John McCain's 2008 total. Romney himself managed 32% in that contest, but anything nearly that low would raise serious questions now.
