Good morning America. I hope everyone had a better weekend than your Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Then again, if it's not on television, does it really count?
The GOP race for president continues to get more interesting as the countdown to Iowa is now just four weeks away. On Saturday Herman Cain told the press and the public that they wouldn't have him to kick around anymore, as he was "suspending" his campaign. He's expected to endorse Newt Gingrich later today.
Gingrich, Cain and other Republicans have expressed nothing but contempt for the Occupy Wall Street movement. But a top pollster for the GOP, Frank Luntz, warned Republicans last week that they should take the movement seriously, as he distributed a list of "do's" and "don'ts" in talking about the movement.
And look who's back in the discussion of this race? None other than The Donald, who has inserted himself back into the news with the publication of a new book and the announcement that he is going to host his own presidential debate at the end of this month. But at least two of candidates, concerned about their own dignity, have told Trump to stuff it.
