I forgot to add the obvious: The U.S. Senate seat in Georgia is being vacated by retiring Zell Miller so there is no incumbent. This race will likely go to a run off. When it does, it goes national. The first African-American Republican senator in modern times and hes from the south.

When Herman Cain wins the Republican nomination, he will likely be against Democrat Denise Majette (another African-American). If there are any racists left in Georgia, they will stay home. Net result: a Reaganite Conservative Senator! I love it when a plan comes together! :)

Depends on what you consider modern times, I guess. Edward Brooke was a black Republican senator from Massachusetts from 1967 to 1979.

He's got my vote!

Wonder who the AJC will support?

Interestingly, the doomers that I have spoken to from the "conservative" side feel that there ARE enough white racists left in Georgia to affect Cains win when combined with enough black racists that will vote for mckinney. They feel that Collins has the best chance. I say, Go, Herman, go and make those "conservatives" eat their words.
