There is no chance that Majette will win, and zero chance that Cain's supporters won't help defeat Majette, but Isakson is about as much a Republican as John McCain is.

I sickens me to know that Paul Coverdell's seat in the Senate will be filled by a RINO.

Better then a Democrat.

There is always the primaries next time.

I agree. I knew Paul Coverdell (a little) and Johnny Isakson is no Paul Coverdell. I was furious when his seat when to a Democrat - though it was nice to see that Zell decided to zig our way when he got to Washington. What's disappointing is that I'd rather see Zell the Democrat than Johnny the RINO in Coverdell's seat.

>> I see Johnny couldn't even muster a decent defense for the Fair Tax. Herman Cain would have ripped Majette and Buckley apart, especially for their positions on the Fair Tax. We will always be stuck with second best with Isakson. <

>> Isakson is an awful candidate. He makes McCain look good. What is wrong with the Georgia GOP picking this awful clown? He's lost how many, let me guess, 20 times to the Democrats running for previous offices around Georgia. <<

Isakson won the primary because Georgia "conservatives" issessantly heaped praise on Zig Zag Zell's "record" and INSISTED he was some kind of Jesse Helms type "conservative patriot" because he endorsed Bush and screwed over his party, instead of taking his CENTRIST legacy at face value.

When you heap praise on a voting record that is "conservative" 65% of the time, you move the entire political spectrum leftward. Prior to Miller, Paul Coverdell had a 96% "conservaitve" record. In proclaiming Zig Zag was nothing short of the second coming (some folks on this board would vote for Zig Zag over a REPUBLICAN candidate for President!), you're saying being pro-McCain Feingold, pro "Hate crimes", pro-trial lawyer, etc., etc. makes one a great conservative and voting liberal 40% of the time can just be whitewashed.

This set the stage for Johnny Iskason to ride in on a white horse and make his "center-right" record look like the natural heir apprent for this seat, another great conservative icon in the mold of the "conservative" incumbent, and even more staunchly "conservative". A TRUE successor to Coverdell like Herman Cain was left off the radar screen.

Perhaps next time Georgia Republicans should worshipping a person with a "D" next to their name simply because they aren't a socialist and have the brains to endorse a good President.
