Reince Priebus - “It sounds like the new slogan is no longer hope and change. It's — ‘hey, it could have been worse.’ Great bumper sticker, Debbie, I hope it works for you, but the reality is that Americans are hurting in this country and the reason why you're losing,” Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said to his Democratic counterpart Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz on CBS’s Face the Nation.(Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)

Herman Cain - “Many African-Americans have been brainwashed into not being open-minded, not even considering a conservative point of view. I have received some of that vitriol simply because I am running for the nomination as a conservative,” Cain said in an interview on CNN’s The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer.(Photo: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)

Sarah Palin - “Take Herman Cain. He’s doing so well right now. I guess you could say, with all due respect, he’s the flavor of the week. Herman Cain is the one up there who doesn’t look like he’s part of that permanent political class. He came from a working-class family. He’s had to make it on his own all these years. We respect that,” Sarah Palin said in a Fox News interview.(Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)

Robert Johnson - “Unfortunately now, I don't think we have the leadership either in the White House or the Congress to end what I call a zero-sum game mentality towards the U.S. economy. And until both parties agree that the goal is to rebuild the American economy to reflect the 21st century on a global environment - we're going to be stuck,” said Robert Johnson, founder and chairman of The RLJ Companies, in an interview on CBS News.(Photo: REUTERS/Chris Keane)

Mark Miner - “Governor Romney is Obama-lite – supporting the stimulus, government-mandated health care, and federal intervention into schools – but when his liberal positions are discovered, he flips with ease," said Perry campaign spokesman Mark Miner.(Photo: AP Photo)
