Did you survive it? Black Friday and Cyber Monday? Better yet, did you distribute some of your wealth around, hopefully to your local mom and pop stores and businesses, the backbone of our economy.

While retail sales seem to be holding, Republican presidential candidates are doing the crash and burn in record time. Herman Cain, well liked by may Tea Partier's, brought energy and a rather unique 9-9-9 economic plan to the race as the temporary front runner. Duck, duck, goose...who's next to lose a seat?

The field narrows as tensions build going into January and the beginning of the real push for the White House. Join your local Tea Party, stay informed and be on the lookout for worthy candidates for 2012.

Happy shopping!
