Mac Collins is the only conservative in this race. And more important, he is the only candidate with a voting record to prove his stand on the issues. Herman Cain cannot win--he is using this race to jump start a bid against Sonny Perdue in 2006. This is an important seat for Republicans to pick up and cannot be wasted on liberal Isakson. We all know about his prior pro-choice record when Isakson ran for gov. in 1990 and senate in 1996. Remember the ad in 1996!

"Mac Collins is the only conservative in this race. . . . Herman Cain cannot win--he is using this race to jump start a bid against Sonny Perdue in 2006."

Sigh. Are the GA Senate primary threads going to turn into NC-05 threads now?

Herman Cain is just as conservative as Mac Collins, if not more so. If my statement is not correct, please provide evidence to the contrary.

Do you have any proof that Cain is using the Senate race to jumpstart a primary bid against Governor Perdue? Mr. Cain is talking about national issues (such as Social Security reform) and about changes to federal laws, things that he could never do anything about as governor. It is risible that someone interested in running for governor in 2006 would run a senate campaign based on eliminating the federal income tax and reforming Social Security.

I have never said anything negative about Congressman Collins, and indeed have stated that he would make a fine senator. Why do you feel you have to sign up to FR today just to defame Herman Cain? Are Mac Collins supporters that worried about not making the run-off? Let's allow Mr. Collins and Mr. Cain to run their campaigns and may the best man win.

You are correct about one thing---our common goal should be to make sure that the pro-abort Isakson does not get the GOP nomination (not only because he's not a true conservative, but because he could well lose in the general election). But that goal can only be accomplished if there is a large turnout among conservatives, and defaming Herman Cain's good name does not help us reach that goal. So kindly stop doing things that will lead to a conservative defeat.
