In the Republican race for the presidential nomination, Newt Gingrich's
support continues to slowly grow, and he is now tied with Mitt Romney
for second place, while Herman Cain just edges both of them out for the
top spot. Both Cain and Romney have lost support since late October.

In a new CBS News Poll, 61 percent of Republican primary voters say the
sexual harassment accusations against Cain won't make any difference in
their vote, but 30 percent say the charges make them less likely to back
him, and that rises to 38 percent among women. Cain has lost support
among women since last month - from 28 percent in October to 15 percent
now. He has lost ground with conservatives and Tea Party supporters as
well.

So, the GOP leaders in the nomination race now consist of two morally
challenged assholes, Cain and Gingrich, and the leading "switch hitter"
on positions of the 21st century, Romney.

Leadership isn't about being popular or even liked. Leadership is about
getting things done.
I am not so sure that this country needs a morality example right now as
much as it needs
someone who can identify goals and has the horsepower to do the arm
twisting required to
get 'er done. The last real bad ass president we had who filled that
description was
Lyndon Johnson. In the inner circles he was despised by many but he knew
how to broker
deals and make people pay if they didn't see it his way. He was a
******* to many, but a very
effective leader.

If leadership is about getting things done, I agree with that. But how
in the heck does Newt figure here? Stodgy old boy's stick in the mud Newt.

Sort of shaping up to as to only ass holes on the ballot.
