2012 GOP Presidential Campaign -- "This individual's going to accuse me of an affair for an extended period of time."

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

I care. I care deeply.

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

we can care about this more thoroughly over dinner later

WOOT WOOT

you hear that, former gov. mitt romney?

(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.)

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

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

lol even Keyes went to MSNBC for his show

black Republicans know what's up, y'all

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

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

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

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

xp stealing that for fb

What's the quote from?

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

Obama's totally better than Clinton imho

and Dean was dumb as a stump.

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.

newt the inevitable.

let's hope they form a ticket:

NEWTMITT

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.

a poem, for tuesday:

huckabee
will not be
romney's VP.

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."

of course he will.

hillsdale college will pack the hall with impressionable single ladies.

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

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

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

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

visionary.

maybe he meant he was counting on the drunk vote

Republican mash-up: "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...vim, vigor, and...I'm sorry, I've forgotten."

Is Perry really that dumb, or is he just a terrible public speaker?

yes

he just told a group of college students to vote for him if they're 21 before the election.

voting age is 18.

shameful ignorance of the Constitution

I will deliver it with vim, vigor, and enthusiasm. No brio?! No pizzazz?! No zip?!

I am disappointed.

from FDR to Stevenson to JFK to Humphrey to Carter to Clinton to Bam

No love for Truman and LBJ?

"No pizzazz?!"

Joke writes itself for Herman.

shameful ignorance of the Constitution

When the 26th amdmt passed he was 21

They do things differently in Texas.

Texas: We do things differently

Texas: Think different.

No love for Truman and LBJ?

did a favor by neglecting a pair of genocidal maniacs

wait I thought all presidents were genocidal maniacs

Mattie Van Buren wasn't.

WHH?

It had to be said.

WHH?

predates his presidency but Battle of Tippecanoe, never forget

ezraklein Ezra Klein -- RT @AndrewNBCNews: Just asked Cain if he had plans to leave race. Responded: "999, 999, we're doing fine."

literally -- literally -- saying 999! in response to everything.

herman cain: visionary.
