university sports program. a coach is faced on leave and we will hear from a friend of the accuser. it s called 821. you probably haven t heard about it. a united nations development program has become a code word for conservatives and newt gingrich is taking full advantage. i m wolf blitzer. you re in the situation room. first, herman cain. he certainly has become the first of the 2012 republican presidential candidates to get protection from the secret service. there are some questions about the timing and reasons why. herman cain himself is due to meet with reporters live this hour. we will hear the q&a. we will go to joe johns looking into this story. what do we know? reporter: cain is the first to get this protection but not going to be the last. we all know that. frankly it is to be expected, doing well in the polls and qualifies as a major candidate. when and why certain presidential candidates get secret service protection may seem like a big mystery. it s n
believe romney will be the nominee. look, it s been very volatile. romney and ron paul have stayed pretty much where they are for a long time. everybody else up and down. only not carnack but i predict cain will lose the points and it will go to gingrich. a lot of the stuff going on with cain, and i don t mean the women, but the thing with libya and his trip-up in mill walk is probably going to cost him some points and it s probably going to go to gingrich. do you agree with that? i do. it showed a tired mr. cain. i felt badly for him. on the libya question? yeah, i felt badly for him. it came off the heels of rick perry s tough moment. it s tough. if someone speaks four hours a day, i m kind of sympathetic. he s been under intense pressure day after day after day. i think he had the thoughts right in terms of what he was
