2012 Candidates Not Named ‘Herman’

It’s kinda been all-Herman, all-the-time here lately, so let me update you on what’s going on with the non-Hermans: Democrats are running attack ads against Mitt Romney in South Carolina. Exactly why Democrats would be monkeying around in a GOP primary is an interesting question. (Hat-tip: Ann Althouse.) America braces for the onset of T-Paw Fever: Tim […]

Herman Cain Wins 2012 Presidential Forum in Manchester, New Hampshire

Of course, that’s not the headline you’ll see in the biased liberal media reports about the Americans for Prosperity forum last night.
