<p>THOMASVILLE, Ga. -- Herman Cain, fast-food millionaire turned U.S. Senate candidate, fixed his gaze on the semicircle crowding around him at the local political hangout and grinned. It was showtime. The women in the red-white-and-blue blouses had set aside their fried chicken plates and ambled into the lobby of the Plaza restaurant, idling attentively beneath the autographed picture of former House speaker Newt Gingrich.</p>

Cain more than able You've probably wished upon a star. But have you ever wished upon a superstar? You have that chance now. You have a chance in the Republican primary on Tuesday to vote for Herman Cain, a dynamic rising star on the national stage, for U.S. senator from Georgia. Cain has all the makings of the kind of candidate you've always wished for: someone you can get excited about; someone you just know is unafraid to fight your battles for you; someone who knows what it takes to make a payroll - and that our political leaders' actions...

GEORGIA REPUBLICAN PARTY LEADER UN-ENDORSES JOHNNY ISAKSON!!! Bob Mayzes is Treasurer of the State Republican Party of Georgia. Bob Mayzes is a man of principal . . . but more importantly he cares for the lives of innocent children that will be put to risk if Johnny Isakson is elected U.S. Senator. Isakson's recent vote to rescind the ban on military abortions is a case in point. It was "the bridge too far" for this pro-life Republican. "Chris, (Johnny's Campaign Manager) Please forward the...

Jun 28 2004 Collins Calls Opponent's "Pork Tour" a Load of Bull COLUMBUS -Today, Mac Collins called his opponent's tour of barbecue restaurants to talk about pork spending, a load of bull. Johnny Isakson, who is running against Collins for the U.S. Senate, and who in half the time in Congress as Collins has sponsored three times as much new spending, is touring the state to talk about the problems with pork. "Mr. Isakson is full of bull with all this talk about pork," said Collins, a member of the powerful Ways and Means Committee. "It is one thing to...

Posted on Wed, Jun. 16, 2004 Black businessman looks for GOP votes in Senate race DICK PETTYS Associated Press ROCKMART, Ga. - Herman Cain is a self-made man with a rags-to-riches background and a yen to start a political career at the top, never mind the long march most candidates make through steppingstone offices to get a shot at the U.S. Senate. It's not a unique biography for a Republican candidate in Georgia and it invites comparisons to Guy Millner, the wealthy businessman who seemed ill-suited to the campaign trail and three times led Georgia Republicans to electoral defeats in...

Contrasting styles in Republican Senate race Mainstays of the debate circuit, the Republican U.S. Senate candidates are staunch conservatives. Larry Peterson 912.652.0367 larry.peterson@savannahnow.com Mac Collins and Herman Cain have become the Republican Odd Couple of the U.S. Senate race. U.S. Rep. Johnny Isakson, also seeking the GOP nomination to the seat Democrat Zell Miller is giving up, has skipped most of the candidates' debates held so far. So at debate after debate, Collins, a middle Georgia congressman, and Cain, a McDonough businessman, have been the fixtures, usually without Isakson. So it was Monday, when 200 people showed up to hear...

Herman Cain for Senate – Georgia There is no doubt that the quality of debate in the Senate would vastly improve if Georgians elect Herman Cain. He is one of the most powerful speakers in the nation, and he is fearless on the campaign trail talking about economic growth issues. Herman was a state chairman of the Steve Forbes for President Campaign in 1996, and he is running on all the pro-growth ideas that Steve Forbes injected into the policy debate back then. If elected, Herman would become Georgia's first black Senator and, as a bonus, drive the liberals and...

Standing behind the pulpit rather than on the stump, Herman Cain had them shouting and he had them dancing -- and it had nothing to do with his politics. An electric bass was putting down the bottom, a drum was pounding out the syncopated beat and the congregation at Spirited Filled Ministries was ready for church. So was Cain, a conservative Republican on grounds where only liberal Democrats usually venture. Pastor Wayne Baker introduced him, and what the preacher said had little to do with the business world where Cain made millions or the political arena where he now seeks...
