Word has it that Herman Cain wants to start a third party and I don't know any gentle way to break the news to him. There were 28 candidates on the ballots throughout the states representing various parties or, in the case of Roseanne Barr, her own very sumptuous catered party.

 As to order, the Libertarian Party is THE 3rd party. Know why? Gary Johnson came in third in elections ergo they are the 3rd. 3rd place, third party.

Now as usual for a neosocialist posing as a conservative, Herman will try to cut in line, get ahead of the herd, claim he has pride of place because after all, HE WAS A MAJOR CANDIDATE. A REAL FRONT RUNNER. Who dropped out, didn't make a single ballot and who didn't garner a single vote (unless he has a secret write-in campaign hidden in his trowsers). But hey, he has other qualifications! Pizza for instance! That easily trumps a successful two term state governor right?

Well if we come right down to it, Herman has sex-appeal. At least to Herman. He has some marvelous branding opportunities for his new party name: the Swinger's Party, the Wanna Come To My Party, the Party Naked Party...

Herman owes a great deal of gratitude to men such as John McCain and Newt Gingrich who have made philandering a practical requirement of office for neocon GOP careerists. I guess we're about to see how Cain't Count flies with the control rod in his hand. If he doesn't have to use both to control his rod.
