Herman Cain: ‘A Good Solid Conservative Who Can Get the Base Excited’

The Wall Street Journal certainly has excellent sources: The lack of a clear 2012 Republican presidential front-runner is prompting lesser-known figures to consider joining the race. Instead of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney or former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, some conservative groups are looking for fresh faces and asking: Why not Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan […]

Herman Cain on the Iowa Caucuses

Duane Lester interviews the not-yet-official candidate after an event in Council Bluffs, Iowa: In Iowa, like New Hampshire, candidates really get the chance to be vetted.

4 Dems Vote to Repeal ObamaCare?

Kinda. It was a procedural vote: [T]he new Republican-led House took a first step Friday toward a symbolic vote to repeal his landmark health care overhaul law, which would provide coverage to more than 30 million Americans without health insurance.

In […]

Ann Marie Buerkle Sworn In
UPDATE: Alas, Poor Marco Rubio!
UPDATE: Catching Up With Griffith
UPDATE: Interview With Renee Ellmers

Ann Marie Buerkle, her staff, supporters and family, including a trip to the basement of the Capitol for her ceremonial swearing-in photo with Speaker John Boehner.
