Of course, Cain isn't assured of getting the GOP nomination. He isn't yet well known and his three opponents include the popular U.S. Rep. Johnny Isakson, whose record is as conservative as Cain's rhetoric.

There are those who would disagree with nthe implication that Congressman Isakson is a "pure" conservative. His pro-choice positions have caused him to be derided as a "RINO" on another thread. That's overly harsh in light of his lifetime ACU rating of 84, and his 2002 rating of 98, but clearly he has some moderate/liberal quirks.

The Georgia Senate race should be decided in the GOP Primary, assuming the supporters of the Primary losers rally around the nominee. Let's hope that's the case.

Johnny Isakson is no conservative! He is pro-choice, pro-gun control.

Andrew Young is one of the few Dem candidates running for Miller's seat .

Johnny Isakson is the Richard Vinroot of GA. He is a two time loser in statewide elections. In the 1990 GA Governor's race, Isakson lost to Zell Miller, 53-45. In 1996, Isakson lost the GOP Senate primary to Guy Milner, 53-47. In that particular race, Isakson played ads introducing himself as the pro-choice candidate. Those ads infuriated conservatives. When Newt Gringrich resigned, Isakson hightlighted his pro-choice stand in the special election to replace Newt. Isakson's bold pro-choice declarations, are the reasons why GA conservatives call him a RINO.

Isakson has grown much more conservative since the '94 election.

I don't really trust him, and, he voted to keep the US in the UN while Collins voted to get us out.
