Herman Cain, R.I.P.

  My brother Kirby took that photo of Herman Cain when we visited the studios of WSB radio in Atlanta. Mr. Cain had just returned to the airwaves after surviving a serious battle with cancer, and I’d traveled down to interview him for The Washington Times. That was not long after I’d been smeared as […]

John Hawkins Interviews Herman Cain

Herman Cain sees the bright side of his recent experiences: At the colleges and the universities, it’s standing room only in these auditoriums with these college students which is very, very inspiring — and they are paying attention.

Herman Cain Endorses Newt Gingrich

NAPLES, Fla. Does anyone else remember — because I do — how the Perrybots used to claim that anyone who supported Herman Cain was, in effect, supporting Mitt Romney?

STATE OF THE UNION RESPONSE VIDEO: Cain Rocks National Press Club
