The Republican presidential candidates met for another debate last night in Rochester, Michigan. Herman Cain was in the hot seat over accusations of sexual harassment from four women. But the crowd was supportive as he tried move on from the many allegations which were made against him this week. Texas Governor Rick Perry, who had entered the debate hoping to get his campaign back on track, suffered the night’s worst humiliation when he asserted that he would abolish three federal agencies, but failed to remember the third. Todd Zwillich, The Takeaway’s Washington correspondent, and Ron Christie is Republican political strategist, CEO of Christie Strategies, and former special assistant to President George W. Bush, look at the debate last night in Michigan.
