I will consider this person's positions on the issues and other things, but I believe that Collins is the best bet. We should follow a formula that works, and former Rep Chambliss' 2002 background and campaign, (sitting conservative Republican Congressman runs), fits Collins more than the moderate Isakson or this mentioned individual.

I voted for Alan Keyes in the 2000 Presidental primary, so I have no hangups about voting for a black conservative. The SOS of Ohio is a black conservative; too bad both Ohio Senators are Republicans. He will probably be the first to make it. Edward Brooke was the last black GOP Senator, from Mass. It ain't like it hasn't happened before folks.....

Yet hardly conservative.

Not recently (elected), not in the South, and not with a conservative.

J. Kenneth Blackwell will be the next governor of Ohio.

I like Collins, real man of the people, but Cain is such an articulate conservative and would be a highly effective advocate for conservatism on a national scale. PLUS he'd bring blacks into the GOP fold.
