All in all it was a good week for former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer's under-the-radar presidential campaign.
It was not a Herman Cain vault-to-the-front-of-the-pack week, but one in which "the inimitable Buddy Roemer," as Rachel Maddow called him, got some props for being the first, and still really the only, presidential candidate in either party to wholeheartedly embrace the Occupy Wall Street movement -- whose message melds well with his central theme that money has corrupted Washington -- and mingle with the occupiers in New York on Tuesday.
