".... do you think that Cain has a good chance of making the runoff and, if he does, of winning?"

To start with, it should be stated that Isakson is undoubtedly the favorite because of name recognition and $$$. That being said, Herman's people are saying that he raised slightly more $$$ than Isakson for the last reporting period and way more than Collins. The CFG endorsement should be an even bigger boost for Herman in the $$$ department. I think Herman should do well in the debates if he has some really good people grilling him on details to prepare him for them. He should be able to more than hold his own in debating tax policy - its the other issues that would concern me. He is certainly way more charismatic and dynamic than either Isakson or Collins.

Bottom line - I think he has a shot at a real upset. It is encouraging that he seems to have moved past Collins and to have Isakson in his sights.

I don't think that there are any polls out that are recent enough to be relevant. His ads, I think, are very good. They aren't very substantive, but are what I would call image ads. That is probably exactly what is needed to introduce him to Georgia voters. If he can get the voters to like him, he has 4 months to prove that he knows what he is doing.
