Be in the know: Today's political bullet points

Every day we ask influential politicos to send us their top three bullet points that are driving the day's conversation inside and outside Washington.

– Most important item of the day: Geaux Tigers!

– Herman Cain has brought in a lawyer and is considering legal action against Politico. This is precisely how to keep the story alive. I do have to say though that if the most we get from the alleged victims is anonymous statements and no inquiry, then the story really is a nothing burger against Cain.

– Who wins in all this sordid business? Newt Gingrich will probably pick up some support from Cain. Polling already suggests this. But the big winner is Mitt Romney who, like a pro, sat back under the radar while it all played out.
