Cain Endorsed Gingrich, But Says He Could Support Romney
WASHINGTON (CBSMiami) - As it looks like Mitt Romney may walk away from Florida with a clear victory in the GOP primary, former candidate Herman Cain says he would be comfortable supporting Romney if he's the one who wins the Republican presidential nomination, even though Saturday, he endorsed Newt Gingrich.
Cain made his remarks as Floridians were heading to the polls Tuesday for their GOP primary, and fresh off a campaign swing through the state where he stumped for the former House speaker.
Cain told NBC's "Today" show that he endorsed Gingrich and campaigned with him Monday because he found Gingrich's tax plan similar to his own proposal, dubbed his "9-9-9" plan.
Cain said both candidates carry negatives that would be attacked by President Barack Obama's re-election campaign.
He dropped out of the race in early December, and said that he days of running for President are over for good.
