Byron York: Cain's 9-9-9 plan sounds good; will it work?
 
Herman Cain's supporters know their part by heart. On the campaign trail, at the point in Cain's stump speech when he begins to discuss his plan for economic growth, they're always ready to join the chorus: "Nine! Nine! Nine!"
 
They're referring, of course, to the Republican presidential candidate's proposal to throw out today's tax structure and replace it with a 9 percent income tax, a 9 percent business tax, and a 9 percent national sales tax. Cain would eliminate capital gains taxes, the payroll tax and the estate tax.
 
Brian Hughes - Obama still silent on brewing Solyndra debacle
 
President Obama has remained silent weeks after a green-energy firm that received a more than $500 million loan from his administration went bust, avoiding a brewing controversy on Capitol Hill even as new details trickle out about the firm facing multiple investigations by Congress and the Justice Department.
 
Susan Ferrechio - Cain, Gingrich surge in GOP presidential race
 
As the political world waits breathlessly for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to decide whether to seek the Republican presidential nomination, persistent voter dissatisfaction with the party's front-runners has pushed the field's lower-tier candidates toward the front of the pack.
 
Joel Gehrke - Fla. primary move hurts Fla., helps Perry
 
If Florida moves it's primary to January, as expected, despite Republican National Committee rules to the contrary, the state will have less of an impact on the Republican nomination process because of the proportional representation and loss of delegates that would ensue according to RNC rules; such a sequence would benefit Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas.
 
Joel Gehrke - Poll: Ron Paul v Obama a dead heat in Fla.
 
PPP shows Paul trailing Obama 45-44 in a hypothetical general election match-up, while Romney lags Obama by the same margin, 46-45. Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas, has a 7 point deficit on the president, 50-43 - likely because 63% of voters polled disagree with his characterization of Social Security as a Ponzi scheme.
