Hanover, New Hampshire (CNN) -- Herman Cain, the latest Republican presidential candidate to surge to the top of the polls, found himself in the hot seat Tuesday night at a debate in New Hampshire centered on the economic matters.
The lynchpin of Cain's campaign, his cleverly titled "9-9-9" plan to restructure the U.S. Tax Code, came under harsh scrutiny as other Republicans on stage sought to knock the former Godfather's Pizza CEO off his pedestal.
The Cain plan would implement a 9% corporate income tax rate, a 9% income tax rate, and a 9% national sales tax.
His opponents called the plan as unrealistic and said it stands zero chance of passing on Capitol Hill.
"I think it's a catchy phrase, in fact, I thought it was the price of a pizza when I first heard it ," former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman joked about the plan. "We need something that's doable, doable, doable."
Two candidates competing with Cain for conservative voters in the lead-off caucus state Iowa, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, sharply questioned Cain's economic credentials.
