GAINESVILLE - Republican U.S. Senate candidate Johnny Isakson said Monday in Gainesville he wants a straight win, not a runoff in next Tuesday's primary.
The Sixth District Congressman found friendly ground when he called on Cottrell Incorporated, a Gainesville based vehicle transport equipment producer.
He spoke to plant workers and met with Cottrell executives.
Isakson said he's working just as hard as opponent Herman Cain for a winning vote next Tuesday.
Cain stopped in Clermont Saturday at the beginning of a state wide campaign swing and predicted he and Isakson would emerge from the July 20th Republican Primary in a runoff contest.

Is Cain way behind or I? Nobody seems to know.

2. Cain is so far behind that releasing it is meaningless to the results and is a non-story. Well, trust me, that's not it. I didn't think that was the case but wanted to be intellectually fair with my statement. I heard this said about the AJC poll at the Cain stop in Canton yesterday afternon from a Cain staffer; I don't recall her name. I do find the fact we're eight days out and there are no commissioned results right now. It could be the predicted low voter turnout, who knows. Are you expecting Majette to carry without a runoff?
To: Guillermo
are you pulling for Collins?
Collins is my second choice, after Mr. Cain.

No, I expect runoffs in both the Dem and Rep senate races. More than 2 candidates, no incumbants (Zell Miller), and you've got a pretty good chance for a runoff.
The democratic candidate doesn't have a real good chance come November, but stranger things have happened.
Are you in Woodstock?

I like Mac Collins. I wish now he would have run/kept his US House seat. I would've liked a runoff between him and Mr. Cain, at least then I'd get to vote for a conservative in November.
Who is Liane Levitan?

The polls in Ga did not support a Perdue win for governor, nor did most of them suggest Saxby's win, at least no where near as strong a showing as it was. Lesson, polls in Georgia are ify at best. This state is leaning farther and farther to the right and Johnny, in my experience, is a nice guy to talk to but many actives in the party are quietly saying he is not conservative.
My personal view, for what it is worth, is that Johnny will not get the 51% needed and that Cain, armed with this initial upset, will beat Johnny handily.
For as many establishment supporters as Johnny has, he has also pissed off a lot of people who think he is much too impressed with himself.
To: Guillermo
Ah, good luck there. I know of a couple FReepers who are crossing to the dark side to vote against McKinney. Is that the seat?

Did anyone see the WSB-TV/Channel 2 debate between Cain and the ohter two candidates? If so, what was your impression.
To: eyespysomething
Yes. But, I don't see the enthusiasm for crossover like I saw in '02, which is too bad.

That's because of the Senate race.

Yes it is relative to the entire spectrum but in the GOP primary it is much less Conservative.The GOP primary growth is coming in Metro Atlanta.More than 60% of the vote will be cast by people living within 50 miles of downtown Atlanta.These people will be heavily influenced by Isakson"s Television Commercials.Collins has not run TV yet and Cain just started.Only ad I have seen for Cain was on a Sunday morning talk show.Not his best target market.
To a large % of the voters Cain is just a name they have heard mentioned.in early June he and Collins together had less than 35% of the vote.He needs a turnout about 1/2 of that in the 2002 primary to have a chance.

Yes, although I will be voting for Liane Levitan in the primary. Levitan is a Rat, isn't she? Eye, she used to be the County CEO of DeKalb County Georgia before that idiot we have now. DeKalb is Democrap country though. I have to write in candidates in local elections most of the time.
To: Guillermo
Opinion polls in a primary are hardly worth a pitcher of warm spit. Not necessarily .... obviously it is harder to predict turnout, but even so SurveyUSA, for one, has had a pretty decent record on primaries.

The GOP primary growth is coming in Metro Atlanta.I disagree. In the rural county I live in, we are electing Republicans for the first time since I don't know when. Literally. In fact, after the primaries and if necessary, the runoffs, the county GOP is running ads touting that fact. I believe it is more conservative, and its coming from outside Atlanta.
I've seen Cain on 3 channels, during the week in addition to the Sunday morning shows. And BTW, he is much more than just a name. That's Johnny's gig, the "name".

Did anyone see the WSB-TV/Channel 2 debate between Cain and the ohter two candidates? If so, what was your impression. Ditto what he said. Re the talk above, the AJC/WSB machine will do anything to talk down a true conservative with a true chance.
That's why I think WoodstockCat's #2, while included for some option, is about as likely as monkeys flying out of my butt-ox.

The GOP primary growth is coming in Metro Atlanta. I agree with you, eyespy. The rural folks are finally finding it "cool" to vote pubby esp in light of the rats positions on gays, etc. The rural pubby vote stomped our old Speaker of the House Tom Murphy out and got us a pubbie gov.
Just my 2c
