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

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

we can care about this more thoroughly over dinner later

(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.

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

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.

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

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.

(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.

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."

clemenza, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 19:57 (twelve years ago) link

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

Nicole, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 20:29 (twelve years ago) link
