What are the Odds?
As a former sportscaster, I am somewhat familiar with how the odds makers gather statistics in order the to make sure the spread on various sporting events is even. You simply cannot come out ahead betting against them.
There are 50 states in this country. What are the odds that the first woman to come forward with tawdry details of a distasteful encounter with presidential candidate Herman Cane lives in the state that elevated Barack Obama to the US Senate? I’m just asking.
There are some 1300 municipalities in the state of Illinois so what are the odds that Sharon Bialek lived in the same one as David Axelrod, the mastermind behind Obama’s rise to power. I’m just asking. Read the rest of this entry »
Yes He CA(I)N
Georgia businessman Herman Cain is at or near the top of every poll of GOP presidential candidates, yet political pundits continue to dismiss his chances of winning the nomination.
Not since Ronald Reagan, have Republicans had a candidate who has created this much voter enthusiasm. He is smart, witty, plain spoken and likable. Yet those “in the know” continue to tell us he has zero chance of being elected. Read the rest of this entry »

The Godfather’s Solution
Introducing Herman Cain, the GOP presidential candidate who just won the Florida straw poll by a landside, as the former CEO of GodFather’s Pizza is an insult.
Don’t get me wrong. It is remarkable that the son of a chauffeur and domestic worker could become the chairman and CEO of one of the nation’s most successful fast food franchises. However, there is so much more to this man’s resume. Simply brushing off Cain as an anomaly or a pizza king is belittling.
It’s tantamount to introducing Mitt Romney as the former CEO of Bain Capitol, Newt Gingrich as a history teacher or Jon Huntsman as a trade representative. These men put in a number of years at the aforementioned jobs. However, these jobs do not define them. Introductions of this sort would ignore their later and greater accomplishments. So it is with Herman Cain. Read the rest of this entry »
Whom do You Trust?
The question for voters in the 2012 election is not, “Whom do you trust?” but, “What do you trust?” It’s not about Obama versus a Republican candidate, regardless of who he or she may be. It’s about your basic philosophy of government.
Do you put your trust in the free market or do you trust the government to give you a better life?
