The Herman Cain campaign spent $850 on pizza — from Domino’s
Now to be fair, Godfather’s Pizza has only three outlets in Georgia – two on the coast, and one in Villa Rica.
That said, many are pointing out that in its July spending report, the campaign of GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain, former CEO of Godfathers’, sent out for $850 worth of pizza.
From Domino’s.
Someone nudge the boys and girls in marketing. There’s a TV commercial in that.

Now that he’s on top of the polls, Cain now says the arrows he’s plucking out of his back don’t feel so bad. We’re presuming the welcome pain includes these shafts from David Letterman:

There used to be a slew of Godfather’s Pizza outlets here in Atlanta. What happened to them? Is this a sign of Mr Cain’s managerial ability?

Let’s see, while Cain is ordering pizza, Obama is in Detroit with the President of South Korea to tour a plant that has 1,700 workers who left up to Dixiecrats would have been laid off. I wonder if the Dixiecrats will tamper with the 60-vote rule now required to get anything passed if one of “theirs” becomes President.

Road Scholar. It didn’t help sales when Dixiecrats found out back then that Godfather’s CEO was an AA, or that the pizzas were lousy before, during and after Cain’s tenure.

New Jobless claims over 400,000 again. Reed forces out the director of the Atlanta Housing Authority.Democrats rushing to support Occupy hoping for an emotional lift to a dying party. There are a lot of thigs he might blog about but Galloway has a pretty limited range of interests.

jackie,
Wrong as usual….
But enlighten us to what positive activities (positive defined as of great value to the population at large) the repugnicans at both the State and National level have done in the last 6 months?

road,
Did you ever eat a anything at a ‘godfathers’.
The only reason to darken the door was low price. Nothing else would warrant a return trip.
Much like the repugnican mantra of today.
Sell out everything for ‘cheap’.

I don’t blame Cain’s staff in the slightest for snubbing the Godfather’s in Villa Rica. It isn’t a proper restaurant, just “personal” pizzas reheated in a truck stop in an oven right next to the Subway. Domino’s isn’t much of an improvement, but it’s a little better than that!

Jackie, of course you are right. Obama has started his campaign early because his approval rating is at a historic low. He LOVES to campaign much more than govern. There are scandal investigations, calls for administration resignations – but Mr. Jim Galloway just can’t be critical of any part of his Democratic party – even though his blog is called the “Political Insider”.
It should be the non-Democrats on this board’s “job” to point out the bias every day. Maybe eventually it will force at least a slight crack in stone wall.

Herman Cain is an entertainer. His campaign is a live talk show. He has already told us not to expect much from him in the way of facts to back up his slogans. He will rely on his advisers to provide the facts.
The 9-9-9 plan is a jingle. A number of retail promotions have been launched over the last couple of days using the 9-9-9 jingle. Herman knows that the electorate loves 30 second sound bites, and 9-9-9 sticks in your head like the AFLAC duck.
Herman watched Sarah Palin parlay her media skills into a multimillion dollar enterprise. It worked for her and it will work for him. Herman Cain will never allow himself to become POTUS.

For the politically correct who have never seen this pizza outlet, it’s kitsch is to draw a connection between Italian food and the Mafia. It is surprising no one complained about this during all the flak about Perry’s hunt club.

He should’ve called Papa John’s. They have much better pizza than Dominos.

centrist,
Bias?
You guys still do not accept the abject failure of 8 years in which unobstructed ‘trickle down’ created a depression and concurrently refuse to accept a return to the level of revenue collection and budget priorities that provided much greater benefit to the American People in the late ’90s?
Do you seek a bias that ignores the failure that created the mess?
That sir/ma’am is a bias indeed!

If the Godfather himself had eaten at a Godfather’s pizza joint, he’d probably have issued an offer they couldn’t refuse, “take my name off of your marquee, or the place gets bullet ridden”.

Isn’t it interesting to hear about Obama’s poor approval ratings, but the same critics fail to mention that the Dixiecrat-led do-nothing House’s ratings doesn’t even have a pulse? Like in 13%? Heck, even Dick Cheney had a higher rating!!! Now back to Cain. He wasn’t good enough for the Dixiecrats for him to be a US Senator from Georgia, but they feel that he would be a better President than Clarence Chambliss.

Why should Galloway be critical of the Democratic Party, (That is Democrat Party for those who either have a speech impediment or just plain dumb) when you have plenty of Dixiecrat media outlets running 24/7 during their part. Back to Cain. Probably 100 Dixiecrats actually sit at home listening to WSB between 7-10 pm, unless there is a weather alert. Cain was like Glenn Beck, blowing hot air but with zero ratings.

It is only fair that Galloway is only critical of Dixiecrats since Centrist does an excellent job representing his fellow Dixiecrats who are critical of anyone who is not a Dixiecrat. Back to Cain. Why do I get the feeling that he, a former radio talk show host and CEO who can’t leap a tall building in a single bound, didn’t eat any Domino’s Pizza?
