Gingrich has the same problem that Sarah Palin or Al Gore had. They were fundamentally unlikeable people that every negative rumor stuck to, whether it was true or not.

Gingrich's problem was that all the rumors surrounding him became cancerous, and once his campaign became infected with that cancer, he had to dump it for something newer.

Reagan is our only divorced president.

Look, do you want a bastahd or a nice guy as president? A nice bastahd would be ok, I guess, but good presidents have an element of ruthlessness in them.

For some reason Cain thought it would be a good idea to open his mouth again...

In a move that will undoubtedly puzzle if not enrage conservative voters, Herman Cain said in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Monday that he supported the rights of public workers to collectively bargain. He also said he believed that Ohio Gov. John Kasich went too far when he tried to strip those rights with Senate Bill 5.

On the issue of collective bargaining, Cain said he supported the right of public employees to bargain collectively.

"But not collective hijacking. What I mean by that, if they have gotten so much for so many years and it's going to bankrupt the state, I don't think that's good. It appears that in some instances, they really don't care."
Asked about last week's vote in Ohio, in which the state's new collective bargaining law was rejected by voters, Cain said that "maybe they tried to get too much and as a result it failed."

Ohio's collective bargaining law differed from Wisconsin in at least one key aspect: Wisconsin exempted police and fire personnel from the law.

In an interview with the Journal Sentinel last month, Cain said that he was "right in the corner of Gov. Scott Walker 100%" in Walker's battle with public employee unions.

Cain also said in the interview that he would support collective bargaining for federal employees. In fact, he seemed to believe they currently enjoy those rights, the Journal Sentinel reported. "Asked if he thought federal employees should have the ability to bargain collectively, Cain said: 'They already have it, don't they?'"

Hard to imagine why his poll numbers are slipping...

Pretty much everyone who becomes president is by definition a soulless egomaniac consumed by ambition and overcompensating for some deep lack of meaning and value in his life. Anybody who wants to do it should be ruled morally disqualified. Who's the only ethical man to be president in our lifetimes? I rest my case.

Did he or did he not have sex with that woman?

You realize that in that famous press conference he pointed at Helen Thomas when he said he did not have sex with that woman. (, [they always forget the comma] Monica Lewinsky)

In other news, funny, I think the Cafe came up with this electoral strategy weeks ago.

I don't know, you're a bit left of my political views and I thought maybe you like St. Jimmy.

Do you think the videos would work for either party? BHO has not been perfect in avoiding the misstep, either.

He was probably still lying...
 
Re: 2012 Elections: Corndogs for everyone!

The obvious.

Being president is a thankless job. Running for president as a GOP candidate? Just about the best paying job you can get with no experience, no knowledge and nothing but an overweight ego.

Why shouldn't Cain "run for president" as a profile-elevating exercise? Sarah Palin earned an estimated $12 million in 2010 as a celebrity Republican woman. How many of last cycle's candidates for the GOP nod went on to television shows, radio platforms and big book contracts? Just about all of them—except the guy who "won."

Where being a Democratic candidate can leave you working for years to fill in the financial hole, being a GOP candidate has proven to be an extremely lucrative profession. GOP voters have an insatiable appetite for being told what they already believe, with bonus points for covering it with a heap of pseudo-evangelicalese rhetoric.

Well, give Mark Sumner a cookie. Anyone who hadn't figured that out by now never paid attention in the first place.
