On the Cain Train

Newt will be interesting. He has a lot of support in the party, the "anybody but Romney faction" seems to be holding and Romney can't make headway.

In the general election he's got a lot of baggage though. And Obama would be wise to limit the number of debates. It is a platform where Newt can do well. Obama has already been through the ringer and unless they find something extraordinary the negative personal stuff won't get much traction. Newt on the hand is a different story. He's been pretty much out the national spotlight for quite some time and he's never been through a national election. BTW: I just noticed he's 68 years old. He looks pretty good for a 68 year old fat man.
 
Obama can still tear the evil Muppet to pieces on military issues. Last I heard, Newt still thinks Bush the Lesser did no wrong in his handling of the wars or intelligence gathering.

I'll just have to come to the conclusion that the "Poe Law" has meant that irony is truly dead. Because some morons on the internet now hold sway it would seem that Joseph Heller and Jonathon Swift would be dead immediately.

For what it is worth, Herman Cain is obviously stupid and Republicans seem to be putting their faith in moronic candidates but it is clearly long since past that Democrats had voters who are wise to irony. Most of them are absolutely stupid.

The problem is that you don't do it well enough.
 
Stuff Herman Cain Says: Fear of a Foreign Doctor Edition

He did have a slight worry at one point during the chemotherapy process when he discovered that one of the surgeon's name was "Dr. Abdallah."

"I said to his physician assistant, I said, 'That sounds foreign--not that I had anything against foreign doctors--but it sounded too foreign," Cain tells the audience. "She said, 'He's from Lebanon.' Oh, Lebanon! My mind immediately started thinking, wait a minute, maybe his religious persuasion is different than mine! She could see the look on my face and she said, 'Don't worry, Mr. Cain, he's a Christian from Lebanon.'"

"Hallelujah!" Cain says. "Thank God!"

The crowd laughs uneasily.

A doctor of a different religious persuasion?!

It makes sense. What if he got faith healed by the wrong god? Or a witchdoctor, who might accidentally turn him into Newt.

Or worse, what if it had been a woman doctor? She might have cut off the wrong part or something.

At CBS Republican debate, Herman Cain confronts foreign policy

On the stump, Cain has described his “Cain Doctrine” — billed as a Reagan Doctrine offshoot: “Clarify who our friends are, clarify who our enemies are and stop giving money to our enemies.” But Cain had trouble applying his own bright-line test to Pakistan when asked to do so at the CBS News/National Journal debate, which focused on foreign policy.

“We don’t know,” Cain said, whether Pakistan is a friend or a foe to the United States.

Well, so much for the “Cain Doctrine.” :rolleyes:

And I love how a guy who knows so little about foreign policy presumes to have a "doctrine" in his own name.

He could work for "Military Intelligence" though:
