From Politico, about the conservative Republican businessman and former presidential candidate: "Herman Cain endorsed Newt Gingrich for president in West Palm Beach Saturday, calling him the right person to address the 'crisis of leadership in the White House.'"
The article continues about the two Georgians: "'I hereby officially and enthusiastically endorse Newt Gingrich for president of the United States,' Cain told the cheering crowd here. 'Speaker Gingrich is a patriot. Speaker Gingrich is not afraid of bold ideas. And I also know that Speaker Gingrich is running for president and going through this sausage-grinder-- I know what this sausage-grinder is all about. I know he is going through this sausage-grinder because he cares about the future of the United States of America.'"
Will the endorsement help?: "Cain’s support is a welcome development for Gingrich at a moment when his Florida campaign is working to regain traction. Cain had a decent-sized following in the Sunshine State before he dropped out of the 2012 race, and the endorsement will certainly draw plenty of free-media airtime."
