According to Keith Koffler, who dutifully follows such things for us (www.whitehosedossier.com), President Obama apparently blew off the balance of a family weekend birthday celebration for one of his daughters in favor of playing yet another round of golf. Although it’s his 11th consecutive golf weekend, this may be a marginally more critical practice session in front of his upcoming Golf Summit next weekend pitting POTUS and Joe Biden against House Speaker John Boehner and his partner, Ohio Governor John Kasich.
As important as this surely is, there are more exciting things afoot up in New Hampshire. The Granite State you see is hosting seven announced or likely-to-announce presidential candidates for the New Hampshire GOP Debate on the campus of Saint Anselm College tomorrow evening. This is the first debate event that includes the so-called “front runners” in addition to those the media has seen fit to largely ignore up to this point. Most discounted by most of the media pundits so far has been businessman Herman Cain who continues to impress virtually everyone whenever they have the opportunity to hear or see him. 
Earlier today, Mr. Cain greeted local followers and signed autographs at a thoroughly packed-out Sal’s Pizza in Manchester. Then later he spoke at the Hillsborough County GOP picnic. While some of the other participants are bringing their own baggage to the debate, Cain is well poised to present himself as a true outsider with both the leadership record and the skills to not only win the GOP nomination but also to present a clear alternative to the abject failures of the Obama administration.
The debate will air live from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET on CNN who (along with WMUR and the New Hampshire Union Leader) is sponsoring the event. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing how each does in this early side-by-side live comparison. Watch it with me and then come back and tell me how you think each of them did. I welcome your comments!
