Herman Cain spokesman, J.D. Gordon, tells Howard Kurtz why Cain's making so many gaffes.
Gordon says his boss has been doing as many as seven or eight events a day, “and when you do that and don’t use a Teleprompter, sometimes you can make a mistake… People understand he’s not a career politician; he’s very spontaneous, they know how fast he’s going. People give him more leeway than they would someone who’s in Congress or a governor.”
With that in mind, he says the campaign will try to "slow down a little bit, make sure he's rested."
Incidentally, fatigue was also blamed for Rick Perry's struggles in the debates and rhetorical gaffes.
The New York Times, earlier this month: "After rocky start, more study, and sleep, for Perry."
Fatigue -- now not just responsible for decreasing leptin levels, inhibiting insulin production, and raising stress hormones.
