Could the detail be from the devil? Bachmann: Turn 9-9-9 Upside Down...

Could the detail be from the devil?



In one of the more entertaining moments of tonight's less-than-scintillating debate, Michele Bachmann joked about looking at Herman Cain's 9-9-9 tax plan in a mirror and seeing 6-6-6. She further quipped that "the Devil's in the details" in Cain's plan, and it simply isn't viable, Bachmann insisted.

In a dig at the upstart candidate who has never held an elective office, Bachmann said Cain's proposal isn't a jobs plan -- it's a tax plan.

Cain is a businessman who once headed Godfather's Pizza. He was much more in the spotlight in tonight's Republican presidential debate, partly because Texas Gov. Rick Perry was much less of a center-of-attention than he was in his earlier debates. Perry has since fallen in most national polls.
