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.

Kingston has another advantage: he is a native Texan, and that would give TX three Republican senators!!!!! Of course, Phil Gramm was a native Georgian too.

You do have a point, but we'll have to go to "Plan B" if Kingston doesn't declare soon. Isakson is simply unacceptable. BTW, complete novices are not necessarily at a disadvantage as long as they have money. Here in TN, Bill Frist was an utter novice in '94 when he knocked off who was to be the Senate 'Rat Leader Jim "Daff-uh-Zit" Sasser.
