PING!!
I did not do the events at the Trade Center.
I really do not care for Forbes that much. should of added that to the other post.
:-)!
I like both Cain and Collins, and will cheerfully vote for either, but Cain impresses me as being more of a leader and a self-starter - Collins is more of a behind-the-scenes type guy.
Isakson is currently my representative, so I am very familiar with him and his voting patterns. He is what I would call a "reluctant conservative" - that may be because there is a significant liberal element in his district, but I think it's just the way he is (when he ran for the Senate, Wyche Fowler claimed that he only voted liberal because he represented the very liberal 5th in Congress, but he was lying.)
FWIW, in constituent services Isakson is nowhere to be found. The times I wrote him with a problem or concern, I only got a form letter - and it usually was a weasel letter which wouldn't take either side of an issue (especially if it concerned gun control or abortion.)
I will, however, vote for Isakson in order to keep Majette out of the seat.
Go Herman go!
He's got my vote.
Anyone know anything about the 8 democrats running for the U.S. Senate seat? I have been told our three Republican candidates outpace all of them.
Representative Majette is the only Democrat running that I have heard about. She has probably hitched her star to Kerry, hoping he picks Nunn for v.p. Her exodus from the House leaves the leftist Cynthia McKinney as the likely winner for that seat.
There is no disagreement, Tatze, I agree with your entire post in regard to the GA Senate candidates. Isakson would be like Kay Hutchison; Collins would be like Richad Shelby, and Cain would be like Jesse Helms!
All the Dems started campaigning in May. It is impossible to reach all of Georgia. Majette will win simply because she is a congresswoman and would have the most name recognition.
The Republican nominee will stomp all over them.
That is a scary scenario, Cynthia McKinney back in any office.
As a white dude, I say we need HC in the Senate. And regardless of race, this is the type of canidate the Republicans should be fielding whether white, hispanic, asian, or black.
It's time to retire many of the Senate lily white, no backbone, country club boys anyway.
Sorry, I vote by Content of Character, not skin color.
Last I heard Levetan is leading the pack. If there is a run-off she will get the majority of votes in the northern part of the district and hopefully some votes around the Emory area. I think she has a good chance of winning.
BTW the primary is July 20th.
Taking anything for granted in Georgia politics is a mistake. Any poll will tell you the state is still very closely divided. Remember when everyone said Barnes couldn't be beat a mere two years ago?
Isakson is the only candidate who can guarantee us a win. A vote for Cain or Collins in the primary is a vote for Majette in the general.
PRAY this guy wins. He's wonderful.
And you don't think Cain has the character?
Sorry, I vote by Content of Character, not skin color.
Isn't that exactly what the 1st poster was saying?
