    Isn't there some sort of conflict of interest in endorsing your pizza restaurant's best customer?

    As a quid pro quo for letting Newt have a clear run at the Republican presidential candidacy, will Herman get a clear run at Newt's wife?

    What's worse, "tax and spend" liberals or "spend and then beg" conservatives?

    Oh, and any question should be nostalgically prefaced with the phrase "I don't have the facts to back this up..."

    Newt is not a lobbyist. That's what he says, and a Presidential candidate wouldn't like to the American public about such a thing. Especially not a candidate from the party of morality, which stands for God, country, family, and honor.

    I've seen enough Clint Eastwood, Chuck Norris, and Walking tall movies to know that a Republican man is a man who stands upright, says few words, is honest to a fault, and is faithful to his woman. That is Newt Gingrich. A man who represents the very best of the Republican Party.

    Somewheres is sunset
    Since it began, it hasn't changed yet
    People fly high, begin to loose sight
    But you can't see very clearly, when you're in flight

    Well it's high time
    That you find
    The same people that you must use on your way up
    You might meet up on your way down

    Vintage wines from the year 62
    Is your thing, is your thing
    What pleases you
    Not to be found for you cross town
    The thing is for other girls just to have you around

    (Yeah) You feel the sunrise – set for you
    but the same sunrise is step and shine, for the old folks due
    I don't mind - your turn around
    I maself would even like for a little higher ground

    because he gets to keep them for himself when he officially drops out. That's why most all the GOPers have run (or said they might *CoughPalinCough*) in 2008 and 2012, imho. Great way to pad your pockets. If you have a particularly clever accountant, you can even pretend you ran in the red. Which likely gets you a tax write-off as well as the cash.

    Not so sure about this, it may happen but I doubt it. (Well I guess he can still go to found raising events and try to sell books afterwards and not have to pay out of his own pocket.

    But in reality, I assume he has campaign obligations that he must pay, so he needs to raise some more money (or get paid by who ever he endorses) to be able to pay off those obligations (salaries, print fees, website fees, etc.)

    My understanding is that most presidential campaigns end up with debt, and that's the primary reason candidates drop out (and oftentimes, endorsement by an exiting candidate is tied to a surviving candidate helping raise funds to pay off the debt). In fact, you probably have to raise funds harder after you drop out, since you lose those organic fundraising opportunities you get from media coverage as an active coverage.

    1. Notice that everyone except the Cains are white.
    2. Pay special attention at :35. It's as subtle as a sledgehammer.

    Black Walnut and the Carpenters seem to have the same vision of Christmas. Will Michael Bolton be there too?
