I'm late with the answers because I was out of town for a couple of days.

somedaysoon, "Is affirmative action the only liberal view Cain holds and is conservative on everything else?"

Sprite518, "If he is pro affirmative action, then there is no way I will support him. Mac will get my vote."

Don't believe this line from Mac just because it's from Mac. He is getting desperate because Cain is breathing down his neck, and Mac can't find any real chink in his armor. Actually I believe Mr. Cain has passed Mac in every way that counts. If not already then he is likely to pass him soon. Herman Cain can not accurately be described as liberal on any issue by any stretch of the imagination.

"Is affirmative action the only liberal view Cain holds and is conservative on everything else?"

Herman Cain is extremely conservative on every issue I've heard him speak on, and I'm surprised to hear he supports affirmative action. But the fact that he says he supports affirmative action "as defined by the Supreme Court," which is that race may be minor factor but not the overwhelming factor in decisions, and that he absolutely opposes quotas, makes me think that his views are closer to President Bush's "affirmative access" than to the type of affirmative action that has hurt our nation so much. And besides, as a black Senate candidate who could break the Democrat monopoly on black votes (blacks in Georgia vote over 90% Democrat, but Cain might be able to get 25%-30% of blacks to switch to the Republican Party, making it nearly impossible for Democrats to win in Georgia ever again), I think he should be given a little leeway on the affirmative action issue (in fact, JC Watts favored affirmative action as well). On the other hand, I would give Cain no leeway on abortion, guns, taxes or national security, and Cain is 100% conservative on all those issues. The choice is clear: Conservatives should support Herman Cain in the Georgia Senate race.
