When All They Can Do Is Call You a Racist

With the recent events that have materialized in Ferguson and throughout the country, it feels as if a great divide has been exposed. You are either a person who accepts the facts of what occurred and believe that the Grand Jury made the correct decision or you are spending your time calling those that support the Grand Jury racists.

Cain Denies Allegations

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain delivers a speech about foreign policy at Hillsdale College on Nov. 29, 2011 in Hillsdale, Mich.

Will Cain go on? News is looking pretty bleak for Herman Cain and his run for American president. With all the recent allegations from women concerning sexual harassment and a recent claim of a 13-year long affair, it looks and feels as though this is the end of the road for Cain.

“Since I’ve been campaigning all week, I haven’t had an opportunity to sit down with her and walk through this with my wife and my family. I will do that when I get back home on Friday,” Cain told reporters gathered at his New Hampshire campaign headquarters Wednesday night. “I am not going to make a decision until after we talk face to face.”

I wonder what that conversation is going to sound like.

Pelosi Better Watch Out

 AP

Pelosi may be in for some serious competition in San Francisco. Imagine that!

It's not your everyday congressional race when the Republican candidate welcomes the support of Cindy Sheehan, the antiwar gadfly, and Matt Gonzalez, who was Ralph Nader's running mate in 2008. Yet that is exactly what is happening in San Francisco, where Republican John Dennis is challenging House Speaker Pelosi in what may be Pelosi's first-ever truly competitive race.

Cindy Sheehan? You've got to be kidding me.

Anyway, it's nice to see some hope, even if it's a tiny spark of hope, that Nancy could get thrown out on her butt in Novemeber.

Since August, Dennis has raised three times as much money as Pelosi, and the $2.1 million he's collected so far is in the ballpark with her total. Dennis cites internal polling from a few months ago showing that roughly 35 percent of independents and Democrats in the district are growing tired of Pelosi's leadership, and the Dennis campaign is conducting a new poll that they hope will show support growing.

It could definitely be a stretch but, one things for sure, Pelosi will be dethroned from her post as Speaker of the House. Thank heavens.
