Love that pic. My autistic kitty Mary attacks her tail. She especially loves it when that tail starts twitching!
Off-topic, but it cracks me up when people call them “Lincoln/Douglas style debates”. The Cain/Gingrich dual press conference wasn’t anything at all like a L/D debate. About the only thing that they have in common was each had 2 participants.
In the Lincoln/Douglass debates, there was an actual debate. Each debate was about one topic (it was slavery in the actual L/D debates). The 1st candidate spoke for 60 minutes about the subject. The 2nd candidate responded for 90 minutes, then the 1st candidate rebutted for 30 minutes.
I can’t imagine doing such a thing today, but it is a travesty to call what they Cain and Gingrich did a “Lincoln/Douglas style debate”.

So long as Biden didn’t ask him anything about anything other than his 9-9-9 plan.
We saw Sarah Palin trash Biden. Watching Cain/Biden to see which one committed more foreign policy gaffes might be entertaining.
Cain is 100 times smarter and more accomplished than you.
Post your resume I’d like to see it. Must be very impressive since Cain is stupid in comparison to you. Put up or shut up.
Rubio would be a great bet to complete the destruction of the US constituion, especially article 2, section 1, clause 5, that specifies the natural born citizen (nbc) requirement for the position of the president and VP!
First you let soetoro/obama who is NOT a nbc to take the presidency, then you want Rubio who is NOT a nbc (he was born to non-US citizen parents!) to be the VP.
With people not having a clue that obama and Rubio are not nbc and not eligible to be pres or vp, the US constitution is doomed!
I find it hilarious that so many people who say that Newt is unacceptable as President think it would be great to make him VP to a guy who is in his 60s and already went through a bought of cancer that should have killed him but is in remission.
If Gingrich isn’t acceptable as President, we shouldn’t make him the VP. It’s not as if the issue with Gingrich is a lack of experience (which is a reason sometimes you put an excellent candidate as VP but not as President because they need a couple of years under their belt).
See, that would be a reason to make Cain VP, so he could actually learn the job of President. Except he’s old enough that in 8 years he’d be unlikely to be a good pick to move into the office. Plus that would be Palin’s slot.
Hmm Rush Limbaugh says you a moron. I guess I have to agree.
RUSH: Now, he said that twice. He said, “Well, I’m for collective bargaining as long as it’s not collective hijacking, and as long as it doesn’t create an undue burden on the state.” Again, the attempt here is to make it sound as though he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. But on Libya, when you listen to the whole interview, the whole question and answer, he ended up getting Libya right. His biggest mistake was admitting he was having a hard time focusing. He shouldn’t have said that in front of the enemy, the enemy being the editorial board, but he said I’m having a hard time focusing here.
Federal workers do have collective bargaining. Some of them do. Some federal workers do have collective bargaining. It’s not the same as in some of the states. For example, the air traffic controllers do have collective bargaining over their wages, and some federal workers only have collective bargaining rights over work conditions. Some of them have collective bargaining rights over other aspects, but not wages. It’s all over the ballpark. It is a mistake to say that federal workers, as the editorial board member here said, don’t have collective bargaining rights; some of them do.
In any event, substantively Cain was right. Substantively Cain got it right on collective bargaining for federal unionized workers, and the editors got it wrong. And even the Journal Sentinel article that accompanies the video eventually admitted that Cain got it right in his answer and their editors had it wrong. But no matter, they are attempting to portray via the video here a slow, ignorant, uninformed, unsure of himself candidate who really is just out classed and is just totally out of his league. And the video, under that impression, under those auspices, has gone viral, and that’s the thought accompanying it with everybody who sends it out.

Isn’t Newt 68?
Yes, I’ll take an order of Cain/Gingrich please.
I think either gets the nominations, they should make a place for the other in the inner circle but pick a young vibrant solidly Conservative VP and groom him to be President after they are done.
Someone like Paul Ryan or Rand Paul.
It will take more then 1 Presidency to complete the Tea Party revolution. A candidate for the future would be the very best legacy either Gingrich or Cain could give to the Conservative movement
Here is why...
The biggest “real” problem for Cain is his lack of experience, by bringing Gingrich on as his VP he basically removes that objection, because the thinking would be that Gingrich would be there to help him or in other words... Gingrich would bring... gravitas to the ticket :)
Much like Cheney did for Bush.

I agree, but it’s pretty obvious they complement each other. One’s strengths are the other’s weaknesses.
Cain should pick John Bolton.
_____________________________
Bolton/Cain better.
I’d prefer Sarah Palin as VP. Having an oldster as VP will leave the stupid party in the same place of neglect that GWB left it: no one to pass the torch to.
I whole heartedly agree...Cain/Gingrich is much better. I do not trust Gingrich at the top spot. His liberal baggage is just too much for me. However he would be a great liaison with congress for president Cain.
If the GOP candidate is smart, he’ll pick RUBIO as the VP.
