Herman Cain Tells Erin Burnett: ‘I Am for Real’

In an exclusive interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett, Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain says he’s riding high at the very top of a series of polls not because he’s the latest GOP “flavor of the month,” but because he’s “real.” Cain says his campaign–laughed off by some in its early days–is not a book tour in disguise. “I am for real. This is Herman Cain. They will know that I am in this to win it. I am not in this to try and raise my profile or get a TV show.”

The extended interview airs tonight on Erin Burnett OutFront at 7 p.m. ET on CNN.
