Herman Cain

It looks like the end is near for the controversial narcissist who tried to turn a stint as the Pizza King into a presidential nomination. For a while, it looked like Herman Cain even had a chance to win. He was up in the national polls, and had captured many of the anti-Romney voters who seem to...

In a surprising new poll out Tuesday, Congressman Ron Paul — mocked by the media and ignored by his own party — has jumped to the front of the pack for the Republican nomination. Paul, who has been ignored for his libertarian views, is now in a four-way virtual tie with Herman Cain, Mitt Romney,...

While the mainstream media will certainly try to spin the latest Bloomberg poll, which shows that Herman Cain, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, and Newt Gingrich are in a statistical dead heat in Iowa, the real takeaway is that Congressman Paul appears to be the front-runner in the state. The poll, which was...

Republican primary voters must really, really hate Mitt Romney. So far, they've done everything they can to out-and-out rebel against the probable GOP nominee. They've flirted with the likes of Donald Trump. They tried to talk themselves into Michele Bachmann. They played footsie with Rick Perry...

As the debate season roars on, the Republican nomination circus seems more like a bad season of The Bachelorette and less like a serious discussion about the leadership and direction of a major political party. Like the massive marriage game, the GOP nomination has come down to a few indisputable...

Well, technically Rochester Hills, a suburb just up I-75 from the Motor City. Detroit's a little too...dark, shall we say, for most of the GOP candidates, so they've chosen a lighter, whiter neighborhood in which to host their debate. And boy, will this be a good debate. Eight contenders will file...

Few things will raise the heckles of the public and a ravenous media like allegations of sexual assault. The sexual abuse of a child is perhaps the only thing a politician (or anybody else) could be accused of that will do their career / campaign more harm. Because sexual harassment and abuse is a...

I can't believe there are people in this country who are willing to vote for this despicable human being for president. I can understand wanting a Republican to win if you're a Republican. I can understand why someone who lacks any understanding of how an economy works would look at Herman Cain's...

Who does Herman Cain think he is — Bill Clinton? Sorry dude, but you can't sexually harass scores of women and expect to get away with it. You're no longer in the frat house, where your buddies will swear up and down that you were at church or baking cookies for the homeless shelter when the...

Herman Cain told a Fox News panel last night that he believes the sexual harassment charges brought against him may be racially motivated. Cain, however, readily admits that there is no evidence to support this contention. What a fool! If there is no evidence of race being an issue Herman, then...

A scandal is brewing in Georgia, after allegations emerged this weekend that, while Herman Cain was in charge of the National Restaurant Association, he sexually harassed two (or more) women. According to Politico, "at least two female employees complained to colleagues and senior association...

The more these Republican candidates talk, the crazier they seem. I keep tuning in to their debates, in part to cover them for Benzinga, and in part because you never know which candidate will go crazy and say something stupid. It's only a matter of time before Santorum advocates killing random...

It looks like Republicans are not quite ready to hand the White House over to another illiterate Texan. Rick Perry, who just weeks ago looked poised to break out as the dominant front-runner for the Republican nomination, has fallen back into the middle of the pack amid controversy over, well,...

Nicely done (HT to an emailer): Cain believes that 1/3 of African-Americans would vote for him in a general election. I think he might exceed that. He also says that he could support Mitt Romney if he means it about ObamaCare repeal, and that he could not support Rick Perry if he were the nominee...

Herman Cain's victory in Saturday's GOP straw poll in Florida didn't become headline news at the Associated Press until after the candidate's Monday morning “Today Show” interview. Earlier today at NewsBusters, Kyle Drennen noted how “Today's” Ann Curry tried to frame the result as some kind of “...
