The Other McCain

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

Cousins for Cain?

Who is that muscular giant with tattooed arms shaking hands with Herman Cain? That’s my cousin Brian Buchanan, who lives near Atlanta and — last time I talked to him — was working as a nightclub bouncer. He sent me that photo by Facebook and told me that he took our cousin Pepper Ellis-Hagebak to […]

More Herman Cain Awesomeness

The term “Herman Cain porn” was coined at Red State to describe videos like this one from Citizens4Cain: The “next Reagan” label is a heavy burden, but even if Cain is not equal to the Great Communicator — is anyone, really? — he is at least a Doggone Effective Communicator. Like I said, “Steve Forbes with charisma.” […]

Herman Cain: ‘We Have People on the Ground’ in Early Primary States

My profile feature on Herman Cain is now up at The American Spectator, and the big takeaway is, he’s for real: Getting from “dark horse” to serious contender is a task Cain has assigned to a campaign team headed by two Republican operatives from Wisconsin, Mark Block and Scott Toomey. . . .

Yes, even self-described “candy-ass” blogger Allahpundit: I know the basics of his bio — accomplished CEO, talk-radio host, cancer survivor — but not much more beyond that. Even so, it got my attention a few days ago when he won Red State’s 2012 “tournament,” topping Mike Pence in the semifinal and Palin in the final. […]

Allen West Asks, ‘Hey, How Come Congress Is Getting So Many Days Off?’

After taking a look at the congressional calender for 2011, the newly elected Congressman from Florida’s 22nd District sent a letter to Majority Leader Eric Cantor (Page 1 and Page 2 in PDF format) and issued this press release: Congressman-Elect Allen West has questions surrounding the Congressional calendar released last week and has written a […]

Rich Lowry: Palin-Hater

Aaron Goldstein at The American Spectator: Yesterday, Jim Antle drew our attention to Rich Lowry’s chart on how prospective 2012 Republican presidential candidates would vote on the Obama-McConnell tax deal in its present form. As I noted yesterday, Lowry’s chart was incomplete because he had left Sarah Palin blank. Palin, in fact, voiced her opposition […]
