Who else might be interested in the opening? Both Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich have national followings, and both have substantial credibility on the Right. Cain has been very popular with the Tea Party.

Herman just took over for Neil Boortz’s syndicated radio show (based out of WSB AM/FM Atlanta) this week. This after having given up his original nighttime show on WSB to run for President a year earlier.

Even if he wanted to run again, it’s possible that his radio contract was written that he couldn’t do so.

Not me specifically but “Rinos” and “real conservatives”. What does that even mean? I wouldn’t know how to label anyone with those terms and yet they are used disparagingly here all the time, along with TruCons and SocCons. I see absolutely nothing positive in trying to group our side against each other. Especially since we know practically nothing about each other and wouldn’t know it we passed on the street. But it doesn’t stop us from trying to alienate each other. I think we have two presidential elections that would indicate job well done.

I agree with you, but why the snark about the paid Romney supporters?

Look at Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee – solid red states, yet 5 of their 6 senators are flaming RINOs.

Amen. Good grief is Bob Corker a pansy.

Sadly he says no to moving.

Do not take the Bob Barr bait if suddenly “converts” back to being Republican.

Barr’s just what we need – a man who looke like a Nazi prison guard and works with the ACLU. LOL!

I was a partner in the accounting firm where she claimed she was a HR executive. Accounting partnerships have partners and employees, they don’t have executives. She was the managing partners flunky, a glorified assistant…..period. She is also a very nasty, foul mouthed tyrant….ask anyone that worked on her campaign about her mental stability.

I’ve met her and talked to her when she came and gave a campaign speech at our local RHQ meeting. She would never answer some guy about her 2nd amendment views. That’s when I pretty much saw who she was.

On a national level the blacks will destroy Herman Cain, but on the local level they like him. The deal with “white women” will play well in Georgia. Nationally they can subject him to major ridicule, but locally, they won’t.

Cain blew it when he ran for president and was too stupid to think his serial womanizing would remain private. He is damaged goods.

She doesn’t stand a chance. She is a BS artist and a liar. Her resume is a fraud.

Do tell.

If she lost against Deal, she couldn’t get her mother’s vote. Sarah Palin lost a lot of credibility here in GA when she came campaigning for her.

You nailed that. She would not have made the runoff if the airhead from Alaska had not mailed in her support. Handel was the least conservative in the field and Palin endorsed her because she wore a skirt.

grassroots candidates in Missouri

Again: 12-year congressman =/= “grassroots candidate in Missouri”.

Oh, and I still don’t believe that calling people names is a winning strategy and I believe you just proved it. Again.

Cindy Munford on January 25, 2013 at 2:02 PM

What name did I call you?

his voting record is still conservative

ummm, no, don’t think so. Maybe we can get a real conservative in there now.

Sorry that being an ABO voter wasn’t good enough for you. I have never called my self a “real consrvative” nor have I ever gloated over the loss. I may not have been in love with Gov. Romney but I certainly new he was the better choice.
