Get Ready to Meet the 'Hermanator' (The Atlantic Wire)
WASHINGTON, DC – Herman Cain, aka the self-described Hermanator, has launched a presidential Exploratory Committee: a step toward challenging for the GOP nomination in 2012. Cain is a former CEO of Godfather's Pizza (which gets mixed reviews in taste testing) and may currently be heard as Talk Radio host on weeknights in Atlanta. Although he readily admits that he's up against a "strong field" of Republican contenders and clarifies that he hasn't officially thrown his hat into the ring, ...

2012: Raising Cain
CAIN : “Pizza Magnate and potential presidential aspirant Herman Cain says President Barack Obama has done at least one thing well,” the Wall Street Journal writes. ““He has awakened the sleeping giant called ‘we the people,’ Mr. Cain said, talking from his Hotel Room in Phoenix… Mr. Cain got a jump on other potential GOP 2012 Candidates Wednesday when he formed a presidential Exploratory Committee, which allows him to raise money for a possible White H...

Mark Levin Never Promoted Murder
Jeffrey Lord writes: Conservative Radio Talk Show host Mark Levin has put out a stunning challenge to those left-wing media personalities accusing conservative Talk Radio stars and Sarah Palin of encouraging Murder. First, he offered $100,000 to Chris Matthews to find any example where Sarah Palin or Levin himself had "promoted the murder of anybody." Here's an exchange Mark Levin had with a liberal caller to his Radio Show in May 2009: Mark Levin: Answer me this, are you a married woman? Yes ...

Air Raid (Guest Voice)
Air Raid by Peter Funt During a recent Radio Interview I was asked why it is that conservative broadcasters are so much more successful than their progressive, or liberal, counterparts. The question was particularly intriguing considering its source: the host of a progressive Radio Show in Central California. In terms of audience size, the canyon between right and left on radio’s political spectrum is huge. Top Conservatives - Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and Michael Savag...

Michelle Malkin: Pointing fingers a popular liberal theme
I agree with President Obama. When it comes to politicizing random violence, he and his supporters have been "far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of those who think differently than" they do. Recognition is the first step toward Reconciliation. It's time to recognize the poisonous pervasiveness of the Blame Righty meme. For the past two years, Democratic officials, liberal Activists and Journalists have jumped to libelous conclusions about individual shooting...

Gov. Barbour: No Decision on Presidential Run Until Spring
Yahoo! Buzz Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour is often mentioned as a potential Republican Presidential Candidate. On Friday, he did not make his intentions clear, but he certainly did not rule out a run. “I’m not going to make any decision about that until the spring,” said Mr. Barbour, who was attending a retreat of House Republicans. “I’ve got a Budget to do, a legislative session, and I’m going to get through my day job before I think about looking for the next job...

Starting today the Scott Hennen show is adding a new feature. Namely, me. Scott and I have worked together for years now, starting with me being a frequent emailer and caller up through being a frequent guest host. Now I’m taking on a new roll with the show: Co-hosting.

Radio Host Mark Levin Challenges Chris Matthews, Threatens To Sue Any MSNBC Host
Conservative radio host Mark Levin is tired of baseless accusations being hurled at himself and at Sarah Palin, and is now putting some money up in a challenge specifically to MSNBC host Chris Matthews. Levin said on his Radio Show, “I challenge Chris Matthews, I’ll put $100,000 on the table, to find any example where Sarah Palin has promoted the Murder of anybody.” And the same offer exists if Matthews can find an example where Levin himself advocated for the Murder of a poli...

Jealous Liberal Radio Hosts Join Chris Matthews in Blaming Conservative Talk Radio for Giffords Shooting
Chris Matthews, joined by two liberal Talk Radio hosts on Tuesday's Hardball, essentially blamed the likes of conservative hosts like Mark Levin for creating the climate of hate that led to the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords as the envious MSNBC host proclaimed: "People like Mark Levin, Michael Savage...every time you listen to them are furious, furious at the left with anger that's just builds and builds in their voice and by the time they go to commercial, they're just in some...

Mike Gallagher Gives Airtime on His Radio Show To Westboro Baptist Members In Exchange For Not Protesting Az. Funerals
Gallagher explains to Fox News Megyn Kelly why he did it. "To me it's a no-brainer" and that "they didn't call us, we called them" he tells her. Megyn wonders if this is actually encouraging them similar to paying a ransom to hostage takers. They will get one hour of airtime on Mike's show Monday. Mike says that they've actually signed a contract for all of this. video from townhall/tipsheet ...

Virginia Senator Jill Holtzman Vogel (R) has introduced a bill on the Senate side (SB 1246) of the Virginia General Assembly to shift the date of the 2012 Virginia presidential primary from the second Tuesday in February to the first Tuesday in March. This bill most closely mirrors the House Bill (HB 1843) introduced by Delegate Mark Cole (R). Unlike the other House bill, SB 1246 would not reduce the petition signature requirement for Presidential Candidates. Are you following FHQ on Twitter an...

Where are the Republican presidential candidates?
WASHINGTON - Only a year away from the first voting in the 2012 U.S. Presidential Election and where are all the Republican Candidates? There is no shortage of would-be Republican challengers to Democratic President Barack Obama.

Pawlenty: No VP thoughts this time
Tim Pawlenty made it onto John McCain’s vice-presidential shortlist in 2008, but he made clear Thursday that he’s only interested in the top job this time. “If I decide to run it would be for president, not vice president,” Pawlenty told the College Republicans group at George Washington University, swatting down the notion that he’s not presidential enough to be at the top of the GOP’s ticket in 2012.

Where Will Obama Go From Tucson?
President Obama is receiving uniform praise for his memorial remarks in Tucson, Ariz. Even Conservatives are saying he hit the right notes, substantively and tonally. I agree, with a few qualifiers and gentle cautions. Obama was eloquent in his tribute to the Victims and appropriately acknowledged that "none of us can know exactly what triggered this vicious attack ... or what thoughts lurked in the inner recesses of a violent man's mind." More importantly, he said: "But what we cannot do is us...

We Beg to Differ
Wake Forest was playing a Basketball game a number of years back, on the road at Duke. I was working that game and got a chuckle from the Duke Students who were, in unison, chanting the full words for the term "BS" about calls they disagreed with. One official informed Duke Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski that his team was in danger of earning a Technical Foul if the fans didn't stop using that word. So the coach grabbed a mike and asked the stadium not to say that word again. Sure enough a...

Election in Sight, Possible GOP Presidential Candidates Stay Coy
On January 16, 2007, then-candidate Barack Obama released the video at left announcing that he was forming a presidential Exploratory Committee. It was essentially an announcement that he would be seeking the presidency - one that came almost 22 months before the election. Mr. Obama was far from the first to jump into the ring. As Slate's David Weigel noted this week, 14 Candidates announced they would be running for president or creating an exploratory committee before Mr. Obama released tha...
