Be sure to check out his Twitter feed as well as checking back here throughout the day. On tap today: GOP front runners Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, former candidate Herman Cain, Michelle Malkin, Andrew Breitbart, conservative radio show […]

Later, dude. Herman Cain, a little known businessman who became a frontrunner in the Republican presidential race, suspended his campaign Saturday following allegations of an extramarital affair and claims of sexual harassment. You have to wonder if THIS didn’t have a little something to do with it. On Thursday, Cain provided new details on his relationship with White, including the […]

The screenshot below tells you pretty much everything you need to know about Herman Cain’s supporters and why he is actually doing pretty well in the polls and with fundraising right now. The screenshot is from his PAC. The title of the post is “Herman Cain Accuser Karen Kraushaar works for Obama and she’s ugly” The comment with the photo […]

Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich had a mini-debate this past week, just the two of them. During this debate, Cain expressed his utter shock at the fact that [you won’t believe this] the news media actually looks into the pasts of presidential candidates and investigates the things they say and do.

Is Herman Cain presidential matterial? Not hardly. Cain…said he plans to “dial back” his campaign and media appearances in order to avoid missteps. Since climbing in the polls, he has had a series of fumbles, forcing him to clarify comments on abortion, immigration and terrorism suspects.

Herman Cain has a plan. It’s a plan with a catchy title. He calls it the 9-9-9 plan. It stands for a 9% across the board income tax rate for individuals, a 9% across the board corporate income tax, and a 9% across the board national sales tax. Cain says our tax code today is “the 21st century version of […]

The crop of elephants running for the GOP’s presidential nomination are just chock full o’ laughs, aren’t they? First we have Newt “I was for Paul Ryan’s plan to kill Medicare before I was against it” Gingrich last week on CBS’s Face the Nation. BOB SCHIEFFER (overlapping): You heard at the top of this broadcast, we kind of laid it […]
