The Rise of Citizen Cain

Posted by truthissoap 2012 Election nomination herman cain GOP Candidate Breakdown GOP 999 tax plan 2012 election
In the last two months, Herman Cain has seen a meteoric rise in the polls.  The latest from RCP says that he has a +0.7% spread nationally, and he also leads in Iowa and South Carolina.  I also wrote that he was a popular figure on Fox News and Fox Business Channel, two organizations that have heavily espoused Cain's "9-9-9" plan.

GOP Candidate Breakdown #10: Gary Johnson

Posted by truthissoap twitter south carolina nomination new mexico New Hampshire Nevada iowa 2012 Election GOP gary johnson election GOP Candidate Breakdown 2012
There's really nothing wrong with former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson.  He seems like a nice enough guy, he's honest and principled.  The main problem with him almost has nothing to do with him: he has zero name recognition beyond his home state of New Mexico.

GOP Candidate Breakdown #9: Herman Cain

I lived in Atlanta, Georgia for several years.  Some of my favorite times were in the year 2008.  I don't have a sports team that I follow, no real religion to speak of, so it was replaced by the 2008 campaign.

Hillary Clinton to Replace Biden as VP?

Posted by truthissoap hillary clinton president joe biden michele bachmann vice president barack obama GOP Candidate Breakdown democrats 2012 2016 2012 Election
In a post made on Real Clear Politics (the website I use to site poll numbers in my GOP Candidate Breakdown series), writer Richard Benedetto makes the case that the administration should drop VP Joe Biden and pick up Sec. of State Hillary Clinton for the VP spot. He begins the article as thus:   "If by early next year President Obama's re-election chances are looking as dicey as they do now, there is likely to be a growing clamor inside Democratic circles to drop Joe Biden from the ticket and replace him with Hillary Clinton."

GOP Candidate Breakdown #8: Ron Paul

Posted by truthissoap ron paul sarah palin iowa south carolina Florida polls GOP Candidate Breakdown represenative Congress libertarian ames straw poll 2012 Election
The internet sensation of Rep. Ron Paul is well known and well documented.  In spite of his age and demeanor (he seems the type that would yell at kids for getting off of his yard), he's someone that has appealed to the younger generation.  Personally, I have nothing against Ron Paul.

GOP Candidate Breakdown #6: Jon Huntsman

The last few posts in this series haven't had too many reads.  I was trying to think that there was some sort of problem with the links or what have you.  And then I realized that I was writing posts about people that weren't as controversial as Bachmann or Palin.

GOP Candidate Breakdown #4: Newt Gingrich

Posted by truthissoap 2012 Election twitter south carolina primary nomination newt gingrich New Hampshire Nevada iowa GOP Candidate Breakdown GOP caucus campaign 2012 election
Newton Leroy Gingrich.  He's often remembered as one of the first Republicans that stood up to President Clinton during the 90's.  So why's he running now?     Maybe to try and scare us to voting him President?  Seriously, who took this headshot?  Lord Voldemort?

GOP Candidate Breakdown #5: Rick Santorum

Posted by truthissoap 2012 Election south carolina rights rick santorum polls pennsylvania New Hampshire Nevada islam iowa GOP Candidate Breakdown GOP gay election 2012
I honestly don't know where to start with this one.  I used to be an ardent Republican for most of the Bush Years, but even then I never liked the politics of PA Sen. Rick Santorum.  It's actually people like him that drove me from the GOP to begin with.  If over the course of this profile, I come across as especially cruel and sardonic, understand that these are facts that inform my opinion.

Posted by truthissoap 2012 Election Mitt Romney GOP Candidate Breakdown GOP election 2012
This is going to be a series of meditations and profiles on the significant candidates in the 2012 GOP Primary Run (Sorry, Fred Karger, I couldn't care less about you running).  I'm also going to include info on the prospects in the primaries and caucuses and a serious hypothetical about this person running in the general election.  First up, Mitt Romney.
