Not much of a surprise, this outcome, as he'd been signaling for weeks he didn't have the fire in the belly for a presidential bid, but South Dakota Sen. John Thune (R) made it official today: he's not running for president. "At this time, I feel that I am best positioned to fight for America's future here in the trenches of the United States Senate," he said in a statement released by his senate campaign organization. "For months now, my wife Kimberley and I have received encouragement from family, friends, colleagues, and supporters from across South Dakota and the country to run for the presidency of the United States. We have appreciated hearing their concerns about where the country is headed and their hopes for a new direction," he said.

Good, get 'em all out of the Hermanator's way.
do we know where Herman Cain was born?
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.
Does that matter anymore?
To folks like yourself who obsess over such thing, it seems to.
