Cain and Collins both have the problem that many of their supporters are not registered Republicans. I gather you can cross over in Georgia, but those folks might be drawn to the local primaries on the D side for sheriff or who knows. Blacks for Cain, Rednecks for Collins.

There are a lot more Republicans around here than there used to be -- the old "the election is decided in the Democratic primary" rule doesn't hold true any more . . . at least not in the larger counties.

And let me point out that not only can we cross over in GA, there is no party registration! The only rule is that if there's a runoff in one party's primary and you voted in the other party's primary, you can't cross over just for the runoff.

In Georgia, you ask for whichever party ballot you wish to vote on when you enter the polling area. For the presidential primary, I will ask for a Democrat ballot and vote for Al Sharpton.
The senatorial race is later, maybe in July or August. At that time, I will ask for a Republican ballot and vote for Herman Cain.
Whoever the Republican winner of the primary is, he should be the defacto senator from Georgia. There is no viable Democratic candidate.

Will be interesting to see if Cain can generate a strong black middle class cross over...and if so, what that and a white focus on the GOP Senate race does to the Dim. primary race the same day between Denise Majette and Cynthia McKinney ??? Any Georgia folk care to speculate/
