Here is what I wrote shortly after the death of Herman Cain: By now, many of you have heard about the heartbreaking loss of my former boss Herman Cain who died from complications associated with COVID-19. Some have predictably used it as an opportunity to score political points, unconcerned with the hurt so many people are facing right now.

Jeb's campaign has, by almost all accounts, been a disappointment to donors, to GOP primary voters, to Jeb's campaign team, and to pretty much everyone who cared in the first place. Despite this, he continues to talk as if he is the front runner he never really was and hope that at some point others will believe it, too.  Part of this strategy appears to be relying on the questionable claim that this election cycle mirrors that of 2012. According to the Herald-Tribune, Jeb claims that the current front runners will fall . . . just as Herman Cain did in the 2012 cycle.  They report:
Jeb Bush cited the rise and fall of 2012 GOP presidential hopeful Herman Cain as he sought to reassure supporters at a Longboat Key fundraiser Monday that their faith in him is well placed. By noting that Cain led in the polls at this point in 2012 only to flame out, Bush implied that current GOP front-runners Donald Trump and Ben Carson could follow the same path.

No, this is not a question from a CNN GOP presidential debate. Former Presidential Candidate Herman Cain joined Fox News' Greta Van Susteren Tuesday evening. The subject? Carly Fiorina's foreign policy speech at The Citadel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvr8_a-FZ2U&feature=youtu.be&t=2m4s

Herman Cain's Sick of Stimulus website has released a new web ad. It's right up there with the "greats" of web ads.  (h/t Robert Costa, who says he is speechless.) Update:  This reaction from one of the people behind the Rush boycott actually is quite unintentionally funny: And, Cain...

We'll never know now, will we?  And it's ancient history, right? We have substituted speculation and conjecture for proof.  Such as, the woman who says she had a 13 year affair with Cain says they went to the Tyson-Holyfield fight together.  Cain denies it.  It's a provable/disprovable...

There are multiple reports that Herman Cain will endorse Newt tomorrow, based on reporting by Fox 5 in Atlanta.  This would not be a huge surprise, as Cain and Newt had a very good relationship, as witnessed by their joint appearance on the issue of...

I've done this before, more than once.  But now that Herman Cain is out of the race, this may be the last time (probably not, but we can hope): As of today, 5 weeks after Politico broke the story, we still do not know what Herman Cain was...

Herman Cain just announced that he is suspending his campaign. "As false accusations against me continued, they have sidetracked and distracted my ability to present solutions to the American people."

He's seeking Ginger White's phone records, and denying that the alleged trip to the Tyson-Holyfield fight (the one where Tyson bit his ear) ever took place.  Someone is lying, and we owe it to ourselves and the process to find out who. From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: A...

Via The Hill, and about a thousand other outlets: Herman Cain told members of his staff that he is "reassessing" his decision to remain in the race for the Republican presidential nomination following new allegations that he conducted a 13-year-long affair with an Atlanta businesswoman. "Cain told...

Although many in the media are using terms like "sexual harassment," the woman appearing on Atlanta TV tonight alleges a consensual 13-year extra-marital affair.  Initial details here. Update: More details here. And, here's the video.  The only proof she pointed to was relatively recent cell phone records. ...

This interview failure is getting plenty of play, mostly because of the freeze at the start on Libya. I posted the Perry debate brain freeze, so what's fair is fair: We're heading for the candidate of David Frum, Jennifer Rubin and Politico as nominee unless we...

of Sharon Bialek appeared at a news conference.  I'll post it when available, just so no one can say I didn't post it and am running from the truth. The truth is that the press conference shed little light on the truth.  The ex-boyfriend, who now is...

You remember the fiancé of Sharon Bialek, the one who lent credibility to her story because, although he was not involved with her 15 years ago, he was the proof the mainstream media used to prove that Bialek was financially stable and not looking for...
