Herman Cain - Cain did what you expected and became a fixture on Fox News.  He has also follow Glen Beck into the online tv channel business.  Cain's online tv station looks epic- a show called "Street Smarts", a cartoon featuring Obama as Uncle Sam, a cartoon in which Reagan lectures Obama, and a CGI dinosaur.

Cain also showed up for Stephen Colbert's "Rock me like Herman Cain" rally, in which Colbert urged fans to vote for him (Colbert) for President by voting for Cain (who was on the ballot already) during the South Carolina primary.  An epic moment in American politics. 

Like Perry, Cain showed up ion the news today as well, though it's a bit far-fetched.  He is being sued by "Jonathan Kimberly" who very well may be crazy.  Kimberly's reality makes your dreams look mundane.  Kimberly maintains that Cain pelted him with breadsticks at the local Pizza hut (Cain was Godfather's CEO).  he also said that Cain impregnated Kourtney Kardashian and that he supplies the Kardashians with all the Godfather's gift certificates they can take.  "Kimberley" (likely Jonathan Lee Riches, a former inmate who does such things) is filing a "restranging" (sic) order because "Herman Cain told me he is going to bury me alive in Tombstone Pizza”.

Wow.

Gary Johnson - The former New Mexico governor hit the scene as a leading libertarian - a younger version of Ron Paul.  Still, no one wants New Paul when there's Ron Paul Classic (There's also another younger version of Ron Paul, and he's a Senator from Kentucky).  Johnson won the nomination of the Libertarian Party of America and will be on the ballot in November.  (Interestingly, Johnson is polling 13% in his native state.)

 Randall Terry- Terry had a brilliant idea.  You see he is an anti-abortion activist (to put it mildly, he was leader of the infamous Operation Rescue for awhile), and instead of running for the Republican nomination (which was filled with guys and a gal who were Pro-Life), he decided he would run as a Democrat and run against Obama instead.  Terry's big gamble was to buy an ad and run it during the Super Bowl.  Of course, it would star unborn fetuses. 

That idea got nixed (the networks don't show political ads during the Super Bowl), and he didn't get any support from the Democratic Party (who might have been the one organization that could have helped him out). 

Terry actually had a pretty successful campaign, even if it was as a 'none of the above' candidate (along with perennial candidate John Wolfe Jr . and inmate Keith Russel Judd) .  he won 18% of the vote in Oklahoma's primary and will get 2 delegates at the democratic National Convention (the only non-Obama votes).

it also should be noted that Terry's idea of family values does not include anything about ditching your wife of 19 years for a 25-year old.
