Former presidential candidate and Democratic National Committee chair Howard Dean attributed Herman Cain’s rise in the polls to media attention on his campaign.
“Here’s what fuels the bubble: the bubble is the press corps. The press corps wants a race,” Dean said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, “they don’t want Romney to be the anointed guy.”
Earlier in the segment, Dean described Cain’s rise as “the anybody but Romney thing . . . This is the Tea Party.”
Dean said he was surprised that Cain’s gaffe when talking about the abortion issue hasn’t already torpedoed his candidacy.
