Herman Cain Cancels Newspaper Editorial Board Meeting Following Disagreement Over Taping

Today’s meeting between GOP presidential hopeful Herman Cain and The New Hampshire Union Leader‘s editorial board was canceled by Cain’s campaign people one hour before it was scheduled to begin, apparently due to a disagreement over whether their talk should be filmed.

Although it is being reported that it was Cain’s campaign that had an issue with the filming (the paper often allows C-SPAN to broadcast its meetings with presidential candidates), Cain spokesperson J.D. Gordon maintains that it was the newspaper that called off the meeting. Gordon did admit, however, that the campaign attempted to “change the terms of the interview,” revealing late last night that Cain only had 20 minutes for the interview and that he would not allow videotaping.
