Conservatives definitely need to support a pro-life candidate, and thankfully there is more than one in this primary race. Take a good look at Mac Collins. His record is consistent, pro-life conservatism. He has great experience in the workings of Congress from his 12 years of service. He tells people what he believes, not what they want to hear. Cain supporters consider getting on board with the Collins campaign to ensure a defeat of Isakson. I know Mac personally and can tell you he's a man of his word and works hard for Georgians.

I agree, Mac Collins is excellent. It's just that Herman Cain would be even better for the State of Georgia (and for our nation).

We don't have to worry about splitting the conservative vote in the primary, since there is a run-off if no one gets to 50%+1. So we're better off if Cain and Collins each reaqch out to as many conservatives as possible and bring them all out to vote, and whichever of the two finishes ahead of the other will then be the favorite in the run-off against the pro-abortion Johnny Isakson (conservatives can then flock to either Cain or Collins). And if Cain and Collins both make the run-off, then even better, since the run-off will be a battle of ideas between two fine conservatives. But we just need to make sure that Isakson does not get to 50% in the primary.

Mac Collins is the only conservative in this race. And more important, he is the only candidate with a voting record to prove his stand on the issues. Herman Cain cannot win--he is using this race to jump start a bid against Sonny Perdue in 2006. This is an important seat for Republicans to pick up and cannot be wasted on liberal Isakson. We all know about his prior pro-choice record when Isakson ran for gov. in 1990 and senate in 1996. Remember the ad in 1996!
