I am sooooooo excited about Herman Cain's run for the GOP nomination for the US Senate! I hardly slept at all!

Just imagine, Cain could actually be the catalyst of tax reform, real reform! Flat tax, consumption tax, --- plus, he might even change the mindset of many blacks who still view the GOP with so much skeptisism.

I hope you're right. I need to do my research on him before I can get excited, but it surely is nice to dream, isn't it?

Have had my hopes dashed in a big way by Perdue, so put me down as "cautiously optimistic."

I agree - Herman Cain's candidacy is exciting. His biggest issue will undoubtedly be the need for tax reform. He will have a battle on his hands against Mssrs. Isakson and Collins, who have been House members for some time and have far more name recognition.

Apparently Mr. Collins, who is from the Columbus area NOT the Atlanta burbs, plans to run on that issue, also. If the debate becomes who will make the most effective advocate for the FairTax, then we win, regardless of how the vote comes out. Georgia is probably the only state in the nation where candidates will be competing on that basis, but the groundwork for this type of campaign was laid last year.

If it can happen in GA, it can happen in other states. This is definitely a step forward for those of us who believe that FTR should be a huge campaign issue - everywhere. Now if the WH were to make it a campaign issue, that would give us some awesome momentum!
