<p>The latest accusation against Herman Cain has nothing to do with sexual harassment. A conservative newspaper in New Hampshire, the <em>Union Leader</em>, is <a href="http://www.unionleader.com/article/20111118/NEWS0605/711189994">up in arms</a> after Mr. Cain allegedly cancelled an interview with them. According to the <em>Union Leader</em>, Mr. Cain backed out of his hour-and-a-half talk with the paper's editorial board "a few hours" after footage of him <a href="http://www.politicker.com/2011/11/14/on-libya-herman-cain-does-his-best-rick-perry-impression-video/">stumbling his way through</a> a similar interview with the <em>Milwaukee Journal Sentinel</em> went viral. Mr. Cain's campaign says the paper cancelled the interview on them.<!--more--></p>
<p><em>Union Leader</em> Publisher Joseph McQuaid said the Cain campaign first contacted the paper to call off plans to have C-SPAN tape the interview. Mr. McQuaid said they then asked to cut the interview down to 20 minutes, which he found unacceptable.</p>
<p>“We had an hour-long interview scheduled. They, in effect, canceled that, saying it could only be 20," Mr. McQuaid said.</p>
<p>Mr. Cain's campaign spokesperson, J.D. Gordon, said he thought 20 minutes was more than enough time for the <em>Union Leader</em>.</p>
<p>“Videos are typically used for television, and it's a newspaper. We decided we didn't want to do the video,” Gordon said.</p>
<p>"Twenty minutes was enough to address the issues," Mr. Gordon said. “We only give other newspapers 10 minutes."</p>
<p>Mr. Gordon said the paper cancelled on them and chalked the situation up to a "miscommunication."</p>
<p>“We hope we'll have an opportunity to reschedule when we return to New Hampshire," Mr. Gordon said.</p>
<p>Based on his quotes that appeared in a <em>Union Leader </em>article about the incident, Mr. McQuaid doesn't seem to care too much about setting up another opportunity to talk with Mr. Cain.</p>
<p>"I don't think he's going anywhere from here at this point, anyway,” Mr. McQuaid said.</p>
