Cain sounds like a winner.
When I was visiting my parents a few weeks ago, they said they were voting for him in the primary. That is 2 senior citizens that are voting for him.
THREE the hard way
This primary will tell us a lot more about the Republican voters of GA than it will Herman Cain the candidate.
Herman Cain is a great Conservative Republican , and he is a great speaker. He is running against a well like (incumbent) Republican, Matt Collins. There is also another Republican running Johnny Isakson. I have heard all three of them speak. Georgia is in a great position to have such fine choices in this U.S. Senate Seat.
There are 8 Democrats running for that position.
Interesting. Could you elaborate?
THREE the hard way
Why do you say that?
Georgia Republicans have a perfect opportunity to drive a stake in the concept that Republicans don't care about minority issues. There is no better spokesman than Cain. He effectively transcends all socio-economic, racial and political boundries. In other words, he gets his hands dirty.
He is not a professional politician but a professional problem solver.
The challenge will be if Georgia Republicans think outside of the box or stick with the status quo.
The Cain candidacy will tell whether the GOP in GA will accept a real conservative or whether it just wants more "business-as-usual" politicians who talk one way but never vote accordingly in Washington. They say they want fiscal restraint but then vote for most of the spending proposals that their colleagues want so as to get their own wasteful spending approved. It will tell us if the GA GOP is socially conservative, whether it really cares about the moral rot facing the nation.
I like Cain, but I do not like the way you are pretending that the other Republican Candidates are not as good as he is. I have not decided how to vote yet. But This is not making me like the choice of Cain. Do not represent Cain in this way, it only makes your candidate sound like a Democrat.
I've been following Cain's story for a while. I'm disappointed that I don't live where I can vote for this extraordinary candidate.
I don't understand. There are two conservatives and a RINO.
Isakson does not rock the boat. He attaches his name to legislation and votes accordingly. He has proposed no new bold innitatives to solve the fiscal problems.
Collins is profoundly conservative. He votes conservative and believes conservatism and is a wonderful person. He just isn't utilizing his leadership capacity to provide an agenda.
Cain on the otherhand has a career of life long achievement in leadership. He has done more for local party development in 9 months than literally any other candidate or party official over years. And he's done it single handedly.
I am a vice chair of the local party in a Middle Georgia county and I appreciate the investment of time and energy Cain has delivered. That is why so many volunteers are passionate about his candidacy.
While others talk about grassroots,,, Cain is planting, fertilizing and mowing the lawn.
FWIW, he will have my vote.
I had the pleasure of being a delegate to the Georgia Republican Convention, sat the third row, front and center, listened to all the Candidates speak. Cain is a dynamic speaker, and I am sure he is a great choice, but as I said he is running against a well liked Republican Incumbent, who is also a great choice.
I have to admit, that Cain inspires Passion. As I said, I have not made up my mind yet. But I am watching.
What I tell everyone is to support your candidate with as much zeal, enthusiasm and labor as you can. At the end of the day if you win, you'll feel like you contributed your portion. If he happens to lose, you did your part.
The sad thing is that the vast majority do nothing.
Did you get to meet Steve Forbes? I was tickled to death. I got a photo with him before the governors dinner.
He was a very nice fellow, left a great first impression with me.
I disagree sightly with Theodore's characterization. Cain is a true conservative, as I believe Mac Collins to be as well.
In my opinion, the difference between the two is that Mac will stay fairly quiet in the background and follow the party line, even when it isnt the conservative line. Cain will be an outspoken champion of the conservative line and a strong leader for change.
Isakson, no matter what he says, is just not as conservative as the other two, and I dont think can even be counted on as a party line voter.
I will gladly take Isakson over Majette should he win the nomination, but Cain will be the most effective and best conservative voice we can possible send to the Senate.
Well said, and You brought out some good points about the Candidates characteristics. I have noticed some of the same traits.
