The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Attention, Bandwagon Jumpers: All Aboard the Fatty McAwesome Express!

The biggest news today? The Florida poll showing Rick Perry in a distant fourth place (!) behind Newt Gingrich (!!), while Herman Cain has surged to within 4 points of Mitt Romney in the Sunshine Evil State. And in the unscientific (but not insignificant) Hot Air Straw Poll, it’s Herman Cain 39%, Sarah Palin 32%, […]

Rick Perry Dissed by ‘Most Influential Blog in the Conservative Movement’

If I were Rick Perry’s campaign manager, I think I’d be worried by the sound of that rumbling engine and the smell of diesel fumes: “My problem with Perry is pretty straight forward. I’ve been muttering to myself since that third debate, ‘My God. This guy is undefeated?’ “ — Erick Erickson, “I Hate You” Wasn’t […]

Looking Up From Here, It’s Barely Possible to See the Bottom of ‘Down’

BREAKING: South Carolina to hold primary on January 21 A friend sent me that on Twitter and then, via Memeorandum, I saw this: Nevada Republicans decided Saturday to move up the GOP presidential caucuses to January to preserve the state’s early voting spot, although it will cost the Silver State half its delegates at the national […]

Is #PerryFail the Hot New #tcot Hashtag?

Rick Perry is already in a hole over his immigration policy, but he keeps on digging: “Are we going to kick these children over to the curb and say you cannot have access to college?

Herman Cain Rhymes With Hurricane: Fund-Raising Surges in Third Quarter

The buzz coming from the Herman Cain campaign is that they will be the only presidential campaign — including Obama and GOP front-runner Mitt Romney — whose third-quarter fund-raising numbers are better than their second-quarter numbers. (A quarter-to-quarter comparison is not possible for Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who did not launch his campaign until midway through the third quarter.) Cain raised […]

Thanks to Florida (“the Evil State”) we may be  just three months from the Iowa caucuses, and Rick Santorum is going back to the Hawkeye State this weekend for a three-day campaign swing that includes this: Sunday, October 2: 1:00pm CT: Senator Santorum will take part in a 1870s style baseball game at Living History […]

What Florida Hath Wrought: Will Christmas Be in Iowa or New Hampshire?

Geographers have long noted that the Florida peninsula hangs off the East Coast of the United States like a small, limp penis.
