Cain to Secret Service: They're coming to get me! I need protection! [View All]

So, Cain becomes the first GOP contender to ask for secret service protection. Apparently he's had "unspecified threats."

My guess? Just one more try to play the victim card and grab some attention as his numbers slip.

"There have been threats against Cain, who had been experiencing a bounce in the polls, according to an official with knowledge of the situation who asked not to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the situation. The nature of the threats was unclear.

Donovan would not say whether there had been any threats or discuss why protection was being provided."
