Does anyone know more about Mr. Cain's philosophy ? From the little I've heard of his voice, he sounds like a very powerful speaker. If he is a solid Conservative and Jack Kingston refuses to enter the Senate race, Mr. Cain could be a great candidate (and self-financing to boot, always a plus !). If Thurbert Baker gets the 'Rat nod, Cain might be exactly who we're looking for. Your comments are appreciated. :-)

I know nothing of this guy.

I prefer Kingston over anyone in Georgia, even Ralph Reed (Who has said repeatedly he won't run).

I prefer an experienced campaigner like a Kingston over a complete novice, which is what you get with a Cain or Mel Martinez, especially when it comes to running a Senate campaign.

Sometimes a novice can be a surprise success, but usually you end up with a Bill Simon guy who blunders terribly throughout the campaign due to inexperience.

From a Washington Post article: Washington Post

Then Forbes announced this month that Herman Cain, a conservative black businessman from Nebraska, would serve as a campaign co-chairman. On Wednesday in New York, Kotto – a Democrat who said he voted for Bill Clinton in the last two elections – introduced Forbes to a crowd of 1,200 people.

If Republicans seriously consider Herman Cain and can compete with Isakson in the polls, I think the Democrats will choose a white candidate like Lewis Massey or Michael Coles.

Although Mr. Cain sounds like a very interesting candidate, we should hold off on supporting him. I want to find out wether Collins or Kingston jumps. If one of them decides they want the title "Senator" in front of their name, they get my support. If not, then I will take a very serious look at Cain. If one of the two aformentioned house members decides to jump, Mr. Cain should run for one of their open seats. The race for Isakson's open seat is probably to crowded (and has to many experienced politicians) for him to be able to win in.
