The CNN Debate: Tokyo Survived

Having declared that the debate in Manchester, N.H., would result in Herman Cain stomping the other candidates “like Godzilla stomped Tokyo,” I’m now prepared to admit that the result was not quite so one-sided.

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.
