"He can win the senate if he can get to November."

Correct - the Dems don't have a credible candidate and its getting pretty late for them to come up with one. This race should be over by midnight on July 20.

I saw "The Georgia Gang" this morning and they quoted a poll that Isakson had done that showed Isakson at 50%, Cain at 13% and Collins at 10%. They also mentioned the rumor that has been circulating that Collins is considering pulling out and running for his old house seat again, pointing out that he is on the Ways & Means committee. Collins has denied any such intention.

Correction - it will only be over then if there is no runoff - which is likely if Collins stays in.

>they quoted a poll that Isakson had done that showed Isakson at 50%<

This is the second time I've heard numbers from a poll Isakson did, and I think it's pretty clear that he's hoping that public opinion will follow the numbers in the poll rather than the other way round.

Isakson wishes he had 50 percent. Maybe 50 percent of Cobb County, but out here in the other Georgia Isakson is following Collins and Cain.

If anybody believes Isakson's got 50 percent now, they're in for a big surprise in July.
