Herman Cain Enthusiastically Endorses Newt For President of the United States (Video) …Update: Giuliani Praises Newt

Tea Party favorite Herman Cain tonight endorsed Newt Gingrich for president of the United States.
MSNBC reported:
Former presidential candidate Herman Cain, who last week endorsed “the American people,” announced his support on Saturday of another entity — this time a Republican hoping to win the White House.
“I hereby officially and enthusiastically endorse Newt Gingrich for president of the United States,” Cain said at a GOP fundraiser.
Speaking to supporters on the day he left the race last month, the former head of Godfather’s Pizza said he would be making an endorsement. But at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference in South Carolina last week, he announced that his official endorsement would be of “we the people.”
While Cain publicly promoted his endorsement last week, the one he made Saturday night came with little warning. The announcement was a surprise to Gingrich staff, and the traveling press who most frequently cover the former House speaker were not in attendance after boycotting the price the campaign was charging for chartered flights.
“There are many reasons, but one of the biggest reasons is that I know that Speaker Gingrich is a patriot. Speaker Gingrich is not afraid of bold ideas, and I also know that Speaker Gingrich is running for president and going through this sausage grinder,” said Cain. “I know what this sausage grinder is all about. I know that he is going through this sausage grinder because he cares about the future of the United States of America.”
UPDATE: Giuliani Praises Newt and knocks Mitt Romney.

‘As Florida prepares for the Republican primary on Tuesday, will the Jewish vote prove key to the outcome?
Steven L Abrams, Palm Beach county chairman for the Newt Gingrich campaign and an elected county commissioner, said: “In a close election like this one even a couple of per cent can make a difference.”
Jews make up three per cent of the population in the Sunshine State, but because they vote in such high numbers, it is estimated that they make up six to eight per cent of the turnout.
While a majority of the Jewish electorate are Democrat – Mr Abrams estimates that just 25 per cent of Florida’s Jewish voters are registered Republicans – Dr Terri Fine, a political science professor at the University of Central Florida, said that Jews are likely to wield significant influence in the GOP race in Florida.
“I think the impact of Jewish voters is going to be large because they are a high-turnout group and this is an early primary,” said Dr Fine.
Mr Gingrich, a former House Speaker, has surged to front-runner position after winning in South Carolina.’

I thought he endorsed ‘The People’??
Best comment (totally inappropriate, but funny) was the first one on HotAir:
“SERIAL ADULTERERS UNITE!”
shibumi commented:
Newt and Herman did those Lincoln Douglas style debates and they seemed to get along swimmingly. Both were respectful of one another, and, when there were questions he didn’t know, Cain deferred to Gingrich. I am not surprised by this at all. Saw it coming all along.
cloey commented:
Who cares? He’s turned into a joke and has embarassed the Republican party. Sarah Palin and Herman Cain are desperate to be relevant, but they’re not. I’m tired of hearing from them.
tommy mc donnell commented:
#3 sounds like a bill clinton supporter.

cloey #5
re He’s turned into a joke and has embarassed the Republican party
How so? Herman Cain is a fine man and so is Newt Gingrich. How is either a joke or embarrassment? Methinks the Republican Party has embarrassed itself by continually nominating losers like Dole and McCain, and trying it’s worst to nominate Romney..
bronxdude commented:
Thank You Herman!
Studious Citizen commented:
Gingrich/Cain 2012!!!
clarityrising commented:
Ah, #5 minus #3 = #2, and that’s what I think about your brainless statements. You are obviously indoctrinated by the media. The pathetic accusations against Cain were not proven and was a targeted campaign to get rid of Cain. Same tactics the left always uses and you twits fell for it. And Palin- another target of the corrupt, truthless left- how is she not relevant? Just more mouth vomit from people who don’t wish to be held accountable for their actions.

Ditto !!! Gingrich/Cain 2012

unless otherwise noted, we’re still hung up on allegations? i’ve heard this from dems also and have asked if there was some type of proof and got the typical “well no but”.
[The authors quote Reid as saying privately that Obama, as a black candidate, could be successful thanks, in part, to his "light-skinned" appearance and speaking patterns "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."] what it says about the dem base in a nutshell and i use it liberally when people attribute racism to anything other than stellar marks on the obama performance.

i don’t think Cain endeared himself within the black community with his self-responsibility and democrat plantation spiel. the silence from that part of the peanut gallary….if we could take a step back in history if we will. a couple of stops i made had people more worked up about the “democrat plantation” thing than the black man harassing white woman angle..on a good day they would’ve hopped on it.
saveus commented:
so the repubs want to support adulterers?
Mikey commented:
This election is becoming more and more the Tea Party v. the Republican establishment. As happened during the 2010 elections with Sharon Angle, etc. The lines have been drawn now. You have Palin, Giuliani, and Cain against Rove, Christie and Coulter. I believe it will be the people who decide this time; not the establishment or the MSM. I just hope that the voters are engaged and paying close attention. The BEST candidate is Newt hands down, but we will see. NEWT 2012

Mr. 9 9 9 sucked too much energy out of the room for tow months. Why would I care about anything he has to say outside of pizza?
