and the backing of the country-club Republicans,
Opinion polls in a primary are hardly worth a pitcher of warm spit.
The polls in Ga did not support a Perdue win for governor, nor did most of them suggest Saxby's win, at least no where near as strong a showing as it was. Lesson, polls in Georgia are ify at best. This state is leaning farther and farther to the right and Johnny, in my experience, is a nice guy to talk to but many actives in the party are quietly saying he is not conservative.
My personal view, for what it is worth, is that Johnny will not get the 51% needed and that Cain, armed with this initial upset, will beat Johnny handily.
For as many establishment supporters as Johnny has, he has also pissed off a lot of people who think he is much too impressed with himself.
