Surely Cain has to worry the Democrats because he can draw votes away from them because he is black. The people that elected Majette are left of center but not by much. I think they will take a look at him very seriously. I don't know of any Republican that would vote Democrat because he's black. I'm sure they might exist -- but I wouldn't worry about it. I think he can offset their impact easily by pulling votes from Dekalb, S. Gwinnett etc.

I don't really like thinking about these issues, it disturbs me that it matters so much, I guess sometimes that's reality. Anyhow, you might be right and you might not, here's what worries me:

It makes sense that he would be able to get more of the black vote, but it concerns me a little that he might not, and he might lose the 'bubba' vote, just like Bobby Jindal did in Lousiana. I know there is probably less of it in Georgia then in Lousiana, but it still worries me a little.

But my main worry is that Cain will be some sort of Republican Wesly Clark, someone who can't keep his mouth shut and isn't diciplined enough and makes a lot of gaffs. We can't afford not to pick up this seat, especially in the light of Nighthorse-Cambell retiring.
