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.

I think the only Bubba vote is up in the mountains and in far south Georgia which has small populations compared to the Atlanta suburbs. I don't think too many Bubba's vote anyway. I can think of some older people that I knew when I was in Athens that would fall in this category and I can safely say they were all Democrats anyway.

Cain . . . Clark . . . LOL, no I don't think so.

I think gaffes are the last thing a Cain candidacy would need to worry about. He's a great public speaker and knows his mind and doesn't waffle. He's also been very active politically in recent years, just not in elective office. He was co?-chair of Steve Forbes' presidential campaign, and famously confronted Bubba Clinton in one of those town hall meetings on taxes or regulations or something.
