I was hoping that a Google search of "Newt's Street Team" would return some really cool images, but no luck.

oooh i saw a recent picture of the mean street posse the other day. if it weren't for joey abs looking exactly the same, i'd have had no idea it was them though.

(picture has been saved for future 'seeing 'taker in a pet shop: hal(o)l of fame wrestlers pictures thread', no need to blow my load herre)

cain is going to drop out of the race very soon. watch for it.

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:09 (twelve years ago) link

Gingrich already trying to re-establish how much he hates Mexicans lol

Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:11 (twelve years ago) link

English as the "official language", support for draconian anti-immigration state laws etc

Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:11 (twelve years ago) link

cain 're-assessing' his candidacy.

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:12 (twelve years ago) link

“He is not thinking of dropping out of the race,” Gordon added. “He is simply reassessing the state of the campaign. We intend to be full speed ahead.”

Yeah, he'll be out by Thursday, at the latest.

not really i'm sad about it

herman cain brings the lolz

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:28 (twelve years ago) link

I wish he would stick around.

Nicole, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 17:44 (twelve years ago) link

don't worry.

where the presidential campaign ends, the FOX news talk-show begins.

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:16 (twelve years ago) link

no one cares about Herman Cain the Pundit, come on now

OH NOES, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:17 (twelve years ago) link

Yeah, Huckabee as host is way less fun than Huckabee as candidate (although I could see deriving some pleasure out of a Palin interview show).

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:20 (twelve years ago) link

Huckabee's show is hilariously bad

Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:25 (twelve years ago) link

no one cares about Herman Cain the Pundit, come on now

probably right. this makes me sad. don't quit, herman cain.

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:29 (twelve years ago) link

no one cares about Herman Cain the Pundit, come on now

I care. I care deeply.

superb mario bothers (crüt) (step hen faps), Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:31 (twelve years ago) link

I would need to confer with the experts and generals and advisors before making a decision about whether I care or not

Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:33 (twelve years ago) link

we can care about this more thoroughly over dinner later

superb mario bothers (crüt) (step hen faps), Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:35 (twelve years ago) link

WOOT WOOT

you hear that, former gov. mitt romney?

http://www.samhurdphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/mitt-romney-7.jpg

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:37 (twelve years ago) link

(truthfully i think the polling shows about 50% of cain's supporters list romney as their second choice, so in fact, cain dropping out might help romney. but whatevs.)

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:38 (twelve years ago) link

Pundit Cain will happen because the reactionaries need more black faces. It is part of their strategy of shock and awe.

Aimless, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:45 (twelve years ago) link

Michael Steele has sold out to MSNBC, so Fox needs a Cain.

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:46 (twelve years ago) link

lol even Keyes went to MSNBC for his show

black Republicans know what's up, y'all

OH NOES, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:52 (twelve years ago) link

I haven't watched afternoon news in a while. Is Sharpton's show still on the air at MSNBC?

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:53 (twelve years ago) link

i actually like michael steele a lot, the few times i've seen him on MSNBC.

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:54 (twelve years ago) link

When you go from Eisenhower to Nixon to Reagan to W. to Palin to Bachmann to Perry to Cain to Newt, it must be difficult to believe in evolution

lol

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:55 (twelve years ago) link

Yeah, Steele is a very reasonable fellow...which makes me wonder why he was ever the RNC chairman. Still, puppet Steele >>>>> real Steele.

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:56 (twelve years ago) link

xp stealing that for fb

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:56 (twelve years ago) link

What's the quote from?

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:58 (twelve years ago) link

how about when you go from FDR to Stevenson to JFK to Humphrey to Carter to Clinton to Bam

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 19:00 (twelve years ago) link

Obama's totally better than Clinton imho

Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 19:11 (twelve years ago) link

FOR ALFRED:

Newt's Coup de Grace
It is beginning to look likely that Cain will soon bow out of the race. There are only so many lies a man can tell in public, and his previous lies keep requiring him to tell more. Only Palin gets away with that kind of thing. Currently, Cain is at 15 percent. Give much of that to Gingrich - as has been happening so far - and Newt becomes the immediate front-runner, with support in the 40 percent range to Romney's ceiling of 25. That changes the whole dynamic.

Meanwhile, Romney is faltering:

_________________________________

There are 13 places PPP has polled the Republican race in October or November where it also did a poll sometime between January and March. In those places Romney's net favorability has dropped by an average of 15 points over the course of the year.

On average Romney's favorability with primary voters was 54/25 in these 13 places at the begininng of the year. Now it's only 50/35. His problem is partially that his positives have gone down but more than that it's that as his name recognition has increased, most folks moving off the fence have gone into the negative column.

_________________________________

I felt the wind behind Romney disappear in the last debate, and re-emerge behind Gingrich. Now Newt gets the Cain Bounce. And Romney may drift lower. No one likes him. And the more they see him, the less they love.

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 19:21 (twelve years ago) link

newt the inevitable.

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 19:21 (twelve years ago) link

let's hope they form a ticket:

NEWTMITT

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 19:22 (twelve years ago) link

Idle speculation on CNN last night: that Romney will try to enlist Huckabee to give him a boost in Iowa, maybe even offer him VP, even though they both supposedly despise each other. Wouldn't be the first time that happened.

clemenza, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 19:28 (twelve years ago) link

a poem, for tuesday:

huckabee
will not be
romney's VP.

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 19:33 (twelve years ago) link

lol

(Cain) said. “I’ve got a major speech tonight at Hillsdale College on national security and foreign policy, and I will deliver it with vim, vigor, and enthusiasm."

Aimless, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 19:34 (twelve years ago) link

of course he will.

hillsdale college will pack the hall with impressionable single ladies.

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 19:36 (twelve years ago) link

a President Cain would at least make it clear that the prez don't run shit.

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 19:37 (twelve years ago) link

(not that the current guy isnt making that point rather splendidly)

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 19:38 (twelve years ago) link

Sure he does – he runs the legal department that hires the elves who write memos authorizing assassinations abroad, drone attacks, and other cool stuff.

Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 19:38 (twelve years ago) link

ALSO HE CALLED FOR THE CREATION OF A COFFEE MUG WITH HIS BIRTH-CERTIFICATE ACROSS THE BACK OF IT.

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 29 November 2011 19:39 (twelve years ago) link

the very same people who in 2004 wildly cheered John Kerry

Oh yes, who cold forget Kerrymania? Everyone was putting JK pictures in their trapper keepers, women were pissing their pants when he spoke at the Iowa County Fair. It was a crazy time for sure.

spent all of 2008 mocking John McCain’s wealthy life courtesy of his millionaire heiress wife and will spend 2012 depicting Mitt Romney’s wealth as proof of his insularity

Yes, democrats kept a laser-like focus on this one issue for all of 2008.

That combat experience is an important presidential trait was insisted upon in 2004 by the very same people who vehemently denied it in 2008, and vice-versa.

lol this totally did not happen.

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 1 January 2012 22:45 (twelve years ago) link

I think the main slogan for Kerry's campaign might as well have been "You should see the OTHER guy"...

I kinda feel like gg's columns become much better when you imagine him saying, "or whatever you know what I mean," after every assertion.

Mordy, Sunday, 1 January 2012 23:00 (twelve years ago) link

lol he likes ron paul lol

Cooper Chucklebutt, Sunday, 1 January 2012 23:02 (twelve years ago) link

I am sure this has been discussed before but wow his bf should be out of his league no?

esp considering gg's personality

iatee, Sunday, 1 January 2012 23:05 (twelve years ago) link

but but he is famous blogger!

Cooper Chucklebutt, Sunday, 1 January 2012 23:12 (twelve years ago) link

I caught the last 10 minutes of Gingrich's press conference today--New Year's or no New Year's, attention must be paid to the gossipy horserace--and it was encouraging for anyone still living the train-wreck dream. He's not going to win, but it does appear ready to go down in flames. There was a great moment where his inner Nixon got the better of him: acknowledging that Romney's ad-barrage had driven him down to low double-digits, he fairly hissed that "If I'd spent three-and-half million dollars going after Romney, he'd be down to 3%."

clemenza, Sunday, 1 January 2012 23:20 (twelve years ago) link

it = he

I know, right? Otoh, this picture should give all single people hope because if GG can pull a hot piece like that, theoretically anyone can.

Given the concerns I have for some of the Republican field’s focus thus far, I must implore the candidates to do something that sounds self-promoting, but whatever. Candidates, please turn to Chapter Three of “Going Rogue” and read what it takes for our country to step toward energy independence. Note the lesson I share in the same chapter about taking on the “elite,” the crony capitalists and the permanent political establishment to get a job done.

The "but whatever" is the touch that spins this straw into gold.
