If Herman Cain wins that Senate seat not only will that be a historic first in the South but will drive the Democrats nuts. Cain would be the first black Republican senator since Edward Brooke of Mass. was in office. In fact he would be only the 2nd black U.S. Senator ever unless someone else knows different.

Although we can expect the NAACP and other blacks, like Jesse Jackson, to denounce Cain and call him a Uncle Tom like they do to all blacks that don't tote their kind of thinking.

You are forgetting the black woman from Illinois who was booted out after her first term. I forget her name. Also there we a few during reconstruction.

Anyway, I gave Cain $250 today, and also stopped by the office and made signs for a few hours. The people who work for him are real people, not the type that Johnny seems to recruit, the purely political animals.

Anyway, I will admit that Isakson has experience that Cain does not have. That's in losing embarassingly to a Democrat statewide. Let us hope that Mr Moderate does not get a second chance to repeat that.

I've also noticed that about Cain's staff and volunteers. They seem so "ordinary", friendly and down to earth.

Two years ago when I went to Saxby's campaign headquarters I could see that his campaign was being run by political professionals. Intense, high-pressure types that weren't very approachable. It's the complete opposite at Cain's headquarters.
