Today, presidential candidate Herman Cain announced he was placing his hilarious campaign "on suspension" (meaning he's still free to accept campaign contributions).  The announcement was made right here in Cain's native Atlanta.  The recipient of good fortune from Cain's misfortune appears to be presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich, another Georgia resident, who's own campaign seemed virtually dead several months ago when his staff quit en masse.

But this year's Republican voters seem to be as fickle as their candidates are feckless.  Newt's campaign is most likely to go the way of Michelle Bachman's and Rick Perry's, and fizzle out once the public takes another good, hard look at Newt.

With less than a year before the election, it's becoming increasingly clear that the conservatives are incapable of even identifying a qualified candidate.
