Republicans will likely pick up this seat; it's just a question of which candidate will be nominated. I'd prefer a genuine conservative like Congressman Jack Kingston to a mushy moderate like Congressman Johnny Isaakson.

It's not just a matter of taste. Johnny Isakson is a Congressman right now only because Newt Gingrich "willed" him his old seat. On a statewide level, Isakson is a two-time loser whose ill-fated 1996 Senate campaign was based largely on his pro-abortion position. Unfortunately, he has already gathered in a tremendous amount of cash and the endorsement of allegedly conservative (but out-of-state corporate-owned) media outlets. If this Rockefeller RINO also gets the White House nod and takes the primary, social conservatives will sit out the race, and whatever Dem claims to be the New Zell will win.

I'll echo your sentiments regards Isakson. Add to that the dog's breakfast the GOP's made of the current legislative session (I know- the Dems still run the lower house in the leg.)and there are liable to be many less than motivated Rep. voters next year.

A competitive Presidential race will help fire things up but I, for one, can't get too excited by the ex - North Atlanta realtor.

If Kingston isn't going to take the plunge, I wonder why no one is mentioning Newt?

No longer a Georgia resident? Negatives too high state wide? Hard core Christians won't forgive him?

He's definitely the smartest man who could run in Georgia, and what an asset to the President/nation in the Senate brain trust.

Hey Hannity, how about asking him during your next daily War report interview?
