Herman Cain Wins First Tea Party Straw Poll

Now that you've graciously provided all the information about the poll, I will graciously say I never would have posted in the first place if the who, what, why, when and where had been in the blog story.

Now that I know that Herman Cain was NOT endorsed for president by the Tea Party movement as a whole as the article implies, but solely by the folks at the Phoenix national policy meeting after they heard him speak...I'm at peace.

As to my reference to the five W's, I feel that conservative blog journalism should have higher standards than the norm for clarity when reporting.

Leni,
You’re point is taken. Sometimes in an effort to get the word out we do not employ the editorial checksums that should be applied.

The article was not meant to mislead in any way, we will make a greater effort in the future to display the facts clearly and earlier in the article.

You are mistaken. Anybody who’s nominated will quickly find him or herself weighed down with more baggage than Michelle takes to Italy.

Once again, we are in danger of letting the media and leftists pick our candidate.

There was an lefty column this morning bemoaning that the best candidate probably wouldn’t run. Who was this? Mitch Daniels—nice guy—wrong on several issues and couldn’t get anybody excited if he was reporting on an alien invasion.

Forget baggage. Pick the one who can win and who has our values.

No ill motives imputed. My critique was purely journalistic. I appreciate your leadership in the conservative cause.

BTW, who's Herman Cain? Did he write a best-seller about a mutiny or sumpin'?
