Good Morning America's John Hendren on September 25 dismissed the victory of
Herman Cain in the Florida straw poll, condescendingly asserting that
the "big winner is nobody." The ABC reporter made sure to repeatedly
mention the business of the Republican presidential candidate: "That's
right. The man who brought you Godfather's Pizza at 37 percent."
Hendren arrogantly explained, "What's notable about the Florida
straw poll is less who won than who lost...The week's big winner in the
Republican primary is nobody." It's odd for ABC to dismiss the
straw poll's actual winner as a "nobody." But if the candidate hasn't
broken through, perhaps the hosts at GMA should actually consider having
him on as a guest. (This has yet to happen in 2011.)
