steve kornacki, political columnist at salon. joan, let me ask you first. cain? or did he really damage himself today in your opinion? >> i think he damaged himself today, ed. you and i, we all thought he was going to plummet in the polls after his terrible debate performance. where he really couldn't explain his 9-9-9 plan and brought us the apples and oranges we loved so much. you know, his standing did not fall which was kind of amazing to me. he's handling this a lot like 9-9-9. he really isn't ready for answers. he's changing his answers. you depicted it really wonderfully. this crazy day. and, yet, i don't know, maybe his voters will rally around him and see him as a victim. i don't think so, though. he looks really unprepared. he's reeling. he's kind of fighting back and punching and missing. i do think this is going to hurt. and also, sadly, i think that we in the media, not us, but others pay more attention to sexual scandals than we do horrible tax plans. so this is not going away. >> as someone who wants to be a leader, as someone who talks about
