Now that Herman Cain has “suspended his campaign” (I’ve decided to honor him by suspending my reading of anything further about his candidacy / book tour), the race is down to three people: Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, and Newt Gingrich. At this point, the question isn’t so much whether Gingrich can beat Romney (he can), but whether Gingrich will beat Gingrich.

The task is complicated by the fact that there isn’t just one Gingrich. He’s a very Walt Whitmanesque candidate — he celebrates himself, he is large, and he contains multitudes. Read more….

Video: Moderator Booed For Bringing Up Sexual Harassment Question For Cain To Answer

Posted on by

This is getting all to familiar, with the crowds booing for some reason or another. When a CNBC debate host asked Herman Cain about the sexual harassment charges, the crowd started booing.

Huffington Post

To audible boos and groans, CNBC debate host Maria Bartiromo on Wednesday asked GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain the question we’d been girding ourselves for — his sexual harassment allegations. It’s an odd fit for a debate on the economy, and Bartiromo had to couch it in terms of “leadership” and “character” in order to get it in. It only barely did — the audience was not happy to hear this inquiry coming up. Read more…

In the entertainment industry there is a saying that any publicity, negative or positive, is good publicity. In politics though, bad publicity can destroy a career or sink a politician’s chances of being elected if the scandal turns out to be true and often times, just the mention of untoward behavior is enough to end a campaign before it gets off the ground. The scandal of the past two weeks involving Herman Cain and charges he sexually harassed numerous women is not going away anytime soon and it is in part because of America’s salacious appetite for the sexual dalliances of public figures.

Hi-tech lynching? Where have heard this one before? Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings.

The Huffington Post

A group of Herman Cain supporters have released an aggressive new ad attacking the media for its coverage of the GOP frontrunner’s current sexual harassment controversy.

The ad — produced by Americans for Herman Cain, a SuperPAC affiliated with the candidate — uses ideas and language that many prominent conservatives in the media have employed in their response to the coverage, which began on Sunday with a Politico article about the two women who complained of being sexually harassed by by Cain in the 1990s. In the spot, the voice of Rush Limbaugh can be heard denouncing the media for what he says are “the ugliest racial stereotypes.” Read more…

Video: Herman Cain Blames The Unemployed, Audience Cheers

Posted on by

The topic this week to cheer about at the Republican debates, is the audience cheering for unemployed. Why doesn’t the Koch sponsored Cain go to NYC, and tell the Occupy Wall Street protesters, and 99ers, that the unemployed are to blame. I’m sure they would give him an earful.

Herman Cain won’t be around to much longer. The only thing he has going for him, which won’t fly even on the windiest of days, is his 9-9-9 tax plan. If Mitt Romney was further to the right, Cain wouldn’t even be a blip on the radar screen.

Eugene Robinson in Truth Out

Washington – Just be patient and you, too, can lead the polls for the Republican presidential nomination. Witness the ascent of  Herman Cain.

Don’t laugh. “There’s a difference between the flavor of the week and Haagen-Dazs Black Walnut, because it tastes good all the time,” Cain told reporters this week. “Call me Haagen-Dazs Black Walnut.” Read more…

parents, the father black, and the mother is white. But in Fischer’s eyes, he sees it differently. This guy who calls himself a Christian, and is with the American Family Association, is nothing but an inflammatory racist. That is an association I wouldn’t want anything to do with.
