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:

Oh no Cain is revealed as a Dominos fan! His chances at the presidency are crushed he will now fade off into history a shamed man. If he had only had an adulterous relationship with an employee in his office or hung out with domestic terrorist he would still be worth in the eyes of the liberal media.

Pathetic.W eak. Unfunny. Boring.
Galloway might have commented on more Solar companies failing and losing all our money. He might have had something to say about the political dilema that Occupy poses for big city governments who want to help the lefites but can’t deal with the destruction and the mess or the incivil language from Pelosi ( republcians want women to die on the floor) or Biden ( failure to pass the jobs bill will cause rapes and murders). He might have even talked about the fact that hte democrats can’t get Obama’s so called jobs bill through a heavily democrat Sentate ( how ugly is THAT dog).
But Galloway never wants to talk about any of these topics.

Obama’s constant campaining on the tax payer dollar.
Obama’s administration in the Fast and Furious that killed Americans
Obama’s 545 million grant to a company in financial stress that went bankrupt and yet another 747 million to Nancy Pelosi’s brother in laws company
Lets talk about Obama and his illegal friends and the hidden adjenda to break the law to keep them here when americans said no
Lets talk about the trillian dollar spending that Obama is doing by way of his democratic donors and friends. Where did that money go again? Not to jobs but to who? Still love the company that got 500 million dollars to update the poor homes with insulation but they only created 5 jobs and did one (1) home. Sure would like to have a job at that company.
We can also talk about the protesters who are really union labor being paid to Sh$t, pp, have sex and do drugs in public claiming they are protesting for for for ??????Dont know and either do they but the democrates love them.
There is so much we can talk about and you want to talk about pizza? Oh my GOD!

Centrist, I worry about you sometimes.
I know Herman Cain. And I know he has a sense of humor — especially when it comes to pizza. He’s giggling all the way to the top of the polls.
We are in the middle of a Republican presidential primary campaign. As part of that, we discuss the Republican candidates. Usually in a serious manner, but sometimes life is worth a chuckle.
Most people can get on board with talking about the interior of GOP politics. Those who aren’t — who can’t tolerate a discussion of which GOP candidate might be better than that one — perhaps should step away until next spring when the fight is settled, and tune in again when the general election campaign has begun.

interesting how some paint things ‘left’ or ‘right’ and how the label depends first on where they see themselves on the political spectrum and second on whether the agree or disagree with the topic at hand.
For instance, I can’t for the life of me see how a guest worker program to enhance business is a ‘left’ idea — or how demonstrations about government bailouts are ‘left’. And when did it become a ‘right’ leaning idea to reduce individual freedoms by whittling away at the 4th Amendment?

Here are some omitted facts: An authorization by Congress was sought by President George W. Bush soon after his September 12, 2002, statement before the U.N. General Assembly asking for quick action by the Security Council in enforcing the resolutions against Iraq. Passed the House of Representatives on October 10, 2002 (82 Democrats in favor), by a vote of 296-133, and passed the Democratically controlled Senate after midnight early Friday morning, on October 11, 2002, by a vote of 77-23 (29 Democrats in favor).

Maybe, and I haven’t picked sides. But I found it interesting how there was a lot of vitriol pointed at the protesters on Wall Street who were not asking for handouts, but were complaining about the money to the banks.
I, for one, understood the bitter pill that Bush had to swallow to avoid international calamity. If you disagree, I’d suggest you research “collaterized debt obligations” and “credit default swaps” then use your imagination about a world without banks created in a week’s time.
If you don’t want to pursue such an intellectual endeavor (and I can’t blame you if you don’t) read the Michael Lewis book “The Big Short”

However, you, Galloway, are a head in the sand, far left sympathizer who is unwilling to bring up any issues that illuminates the hypocrisy, foolishness, or boneheaded decisions on “your” side of the political spectrum.
But then again, your blog isn’t really about the truth. Nope, the AJC is only paying you to get hits on the site to increase potential ad revenues. That’s what it’s all about, right, Galloway?

I was opposed to the Iraq invasion – until the impassioned speech/ slide presentation by (black) General Colin Powell showing all of the Iraqi installations where there were suspected weapons of mass destruction including nuclear ones. (Only biological ones were found – if there were nuclear parts – they went somewhere else)
In retrospect – IMO the invasion was a mistake – BUT that in RETROSPECT. There are those who say it was still worthwhile as Al Qaeda came to the party and we fought them on foreign soil, and we staged our fight against the Taliban in Afghanistan. I don’t give a rip about either of those countries – feel sorry for their residents trapped there – but we simply can’t solve the problems of the world. (Similar feelings for Latinos who would like to sneak into our country and have the many welfare services our TAXPAYERS offer our CITIZENS).

No about the white general – just threw that in for some possible leftist credibility. “General” is not as respected by the left as it is by the right.
Once again you put this all on “Dubya” like the good liberal you are. The Democratically controlled Senate went along as did a large bi-partisan group of House Democrats. If it had gone better, you and those Democrats would be taking credit. Leaders lead with the information they have at the time. Quibblers wait for the results to see if they are for or against.

Dave, the point is that Mr. Jim Galloway runs a blog called the Political Insider via the AJC which both are renowned for their leftist bias. There have been dozens of examples of political news associated with Democrats, Obama, and his administration – yet the only negative coverage (or humor at their expense) is at the hands of Republicans. It is the right of the AJC and Mr. Jim Galloway to use leftist bias – but if they allow comments, that bias can be pointed out.

Mark – Mr. Bookman is such a flaming liberal, there is absolutely no sense in reading ANY of his stuff. Once in a while (maybe only when the legislature is in session), Mr. Galloway gives us something of interest as long as he can stay away from ILLEGAL immigration and re-redistricting.
I’m comfortable here, and enjoy the back and forth with those who don’t slander, call names, lie, or have to use vulgar/ silly terms (e.g. Dimocrats, teapotties) – I just skip over them.
I am not familiar with Mr. Wingfield. Should I be?

GIVE ME A BREAK! Martin don’t sweat it Herman Cain will never ever be president.
How about being raised lower middle class, getting a good education, climbing the ranks of corporate America on merritt instead of affirmative action, making two companies successful, becoming an African American CEO before affirmative action, having a successful radio show and beating back cancer?
Yea, I can see buffoon written all over those accomplishments.

Mark – just checked out Kyle Wingfield. Thanks for the tip – his last couple of blogs sounded reasonable, and his posters are mostly not as familiar as the ones here. I’ll check him out again tomorrow and might join in – but it might be too boring if I mostly agree with him and the posters. I stumbled on Mr. Jamie Dupree’s blog on the AJC – seemed he was pretty level headed, too.
Guess I just like needling the liberals here (bad news for Mr. Jim Galloway), and not worth my time over @ Mr. Bookman’s drivel. I haven’t clicked on a Luckovich cartoon in years, and the editorial page has been off limits for a decade. Local news and sports often catch my interest. Never bother with the print edition, and the Mozilla Firefox browser has an “Adblock Plus” addon which does as the name implies.

How about being raised lower class but getting a good education because of a trust fund. Climbing the ranks of corporate America during the period of hiring minorities as “window dressing,” and could have gotten the opportunity in his hometown. Was able to move up in rank due to affirmative action that kicked into full gear one year after he graduated from college. Got his masters from Purdue University that had more Blacks in their CIS graduate school than Blacks in the entire student body at UGA. It was 1971 when the first Black football players made varsity at UGA, four years after Cain graduated from Morehouse. Got credit for making two companies successful, both basically owned by Pillsbury, by introducing a “smile” campaign at one and eliminating 50% of the locations at another. Becoming an African American CEO more than 25-years after affirmative action was signed. Having a radio show on a radio station that Dixiecrats listen no matter who is on the air as long as they hear the word “conservative, and by the grace of God has been beating back cancer, but wants to eliminate medicare.

Oh yeah. Cain’s trust fund was from a benefactor, and directly from his parents.

Sounds like way too much pizza for his campaign organization. Must have included the book tour roadies, his voice coach, and a talent agent or two preparing to pitch him to Fox News and the rubber chicken circuit.

Easy smell test – you should be so lucky to live in a neat community like our Villa Rica. Frankly didn’t know we had a Godfather’s here even though its evidently right around the corner from us. We’re Johnny’s fans.

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.

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.

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.

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?
