Does Romney's opposition research team even need to try with this one?

From GQ's interview with Herman Cain about pizza:

   
Quote
Chris Heath: What can you tell about a man by the type of pizza that he likes?

    Herman Cain: [repeats the question aloud, then pauses for a long moment] The more toppings a man has on his pizza, I believe the more manly he is.

    Chris Heath: Why is that?

    Herman Cain: Because the more manly man is not afraid of abundance. [laughs]

    Devin Gordon: Is that purely a meat question?

    Herman Cain: A manly man don't want it piled high with vegetables! He would call that a sissy pizza.

Herman Cain on Libya

Don't make fun of this, you guys. The man has a lot of stuff twirling around in his head. Twirling. Stuff. In his head.

On a less sophisticated board, someone would post the Billy Madison quote here.

When I asked Cain if today's Libya gaffe builds on idea he doesn't have in depth knowledge of foreign policy, he simply said, "999"

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm ready for the Herman Cain/Larry Pervison debate.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

They can compare the merits of each one's sexy jobs plan for the ladies.

Next up: Wackiman/Perry.

Iowa should be interesting. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-11-15/romney-two-way-race-is-now-four-way-republican-dead-heat-in-iowa-caucuses.html

Quote
Herman Cain, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich are in a dead heat as the top choices for Iowans likely to attend the Jan. 3 Republican presidential caucuses.

A Bloomberg News poll shows Cain at 20 percent, Paul at 19 percent, Romney at 18 percent and Gingrich at 17 percent among the likely attendees with the caucuses that start the nominating contests seven weeks away.

Plus or minus what percent?

The margin of error is 4 percent, so yeah, it could be an aberration.

Herman Cain has his 999 plan. Larry D. Perv would have da 6969 plan dere.

Santorum and Huntsman are feeling left out, but I guess there's still time for them




Here's a handy reference for The Idea Man's ideas, as compiled by a Ron Paul supporter

Glenn Beck recently referred to Rick Santorum as "the next George Washington," so there is some hope for him. Huntsman, on the other hand...
