Stacy McCain Is A Herman Cain Fanatic

by Smitty

I was talking to Stacy on my way home, and he was quite enthusiastic about a Herman Cain speech down at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference. In particular, Stacy said, a passage on the Constitution was extremely well received.

OK, I didn’t know who the gentleman was, either, but I do like what he has to say as of three weeks ago to Megyn Kelly:

A quick Wikipedia glance reveals that the man has a clue, and then some. Here is his web page. A West/Cain ticket in 2012? Far worse things have happened, and recently.

At any rate, Stacy was off to a certain location in the hotel to score an interview with Mr. Cain, so watch this post for exclusive video, or Stacy is a Charles Johnson fan.

While awaiting the exclusive video, The Right Scoop has the speech Stacy was on about, with much thanks to Jill:

                                  Meanwhile, the OCTOPUS (Ol’ Cousin TO President, United States), seems dissatisfied with the representation some citizens are receiving. The dissatisfaction has bubbled up into a full-on site, filled with great information for use in a peaceful, ballot-box revolution in a district near you:

                                  OK, Now That Stupak’s Gone, Who Wants to Beat Another Blue Dog Democrat?

                                  His name is Rep. John Barrow, and he’s from Georgia’s 12th District. Say hello to his Republican challenger, Ray McKinney, a nuclear power project manager from Emanuel County, Ga.:

                                  Peach Pundit blogged about Ray’s campaign earlier this week, and I reported that — happy! happy! joy! joy! — MoveOn.org is preparing to attack Barrow from the left, where he faces a Democratic primary challenge from former state Sen. Regina Thomas. In 2006, Barrow won by a 1% margin and the word here at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans is that GA12 is being added to the NRCC’s target list.

                                  UPDATE 9 a.m. CT, Saturday: Ray’s campaign Web site is a work in progress. In fact, the site didn’t go live until last night during the SRLC Blogger Bash, which was Tweeted by Melissa Clouthier:

                                  Also, thanks to @RayMcKinney Campaign, @FreedomWorks for sponsoring and honoring bloggers at #blogbash at #srlc Great party!

                                  Yeah, Ray’s on Twitter. Because he’s cool like that.

                                  VIDEO: Live from New Orleans, It’s the Andrew Breitbart Experience!

                                  The dude was on fire today at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference, and the MSM couldn’t get enough:

                                  Dave Weigel was asking Breitbart about criticism of the O’Keefe-Giles ACORN sting videos. And then a guy from CBS News asked some more questions:

                                  Right now, I’m blogging this upstairs while a Blogger Bash is going on downstairs. Breitbart is supposed to be here in a little while. We’ve got jamabalaya, sausage, red beans and rice, and there’s a cold keg on tap. Already on-site: Tabitha Hale, Ed Morrissey, Anita Montcrief, Rick Moran, Melisa Clouthier and others to be named and photographed later in scandalous conditions of drunkenness and debauchery.

                                  Sarah Palin’s Speech In New Orleans

                                  by Smitty (h/t Gateway Pundit)

                                  Sarah’s speech is a point-for-point flogging of the Administration. The folksy delivery will cause lefty heads near you to ‘splode, to keep the volume low. President Sleeveheart has already publicly whined about her by name on the nuclear topic. If you follow that link, BHO claims the JCS ‘is comfortable’ with his nuclear policies. Sure.

                                  On the topic of criticism of the Lefty agenda, your attention is drawn to The Valley of the Shadow. VotS has an interesting historical sketch of the Democratic non-command of international policy, going back to LBJ. Well worth your time.

                                  Update: Tabitha Hale has a roundup of the New Orleans conference, including Rick Perry video.

                                  Gov. Gary Johnson and Other Popular Super-Cool Guys at SRLC

                                  NEW ORLEANS –It’s pretty neat to get to spend time with a cool guy like the governor of New Mexico, who reminds us that Republicans need to focus on fiscal discipline:

                                  The governor’s also promoting the Our America Initiative, and you should check that out. People ask me, what’s the secret to getting to hang out at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference with cool people like Gary Johnson? Step One: Get to know Ali Akbar . . .

                                  Dr. Melissa Clouthier and Rep. Joseph Cao (R-La.) with Ali — a completely random meeting in the hallway of the Hilton.

                                  A slightly less random meeting in Hilton hallway, as Newt Gingrich is introduced to Carl Cameron’s producer. Also not completely random . . .
