"Just sent Mr Cain a donation. I wish him the best of luck. What are the dynamics of the primary down there?"

I already contributed to Mr. Cain's campaign, and will donate some more this weekend. He's exactly what the people of Georgia---and of America as a whole---need in the Senate. He understands and respects our moral values and traditions, will work hard to substitute the federal income tax with a sales tax and to reform Social Security so that it's more akin to an IRA plan (this last point will be particularly important in attracting black votes to the GOP, since black men tend to die at a younger age than the rest of the population and thus forfeit most of the money they paid in Social Security taxes). And what will the Democrats say when the only black in the Senate is a conservative Republican?

The primary is basically a three-man fight between Herman Cain, Congressman Johnny Isakson (who is pro-abortion and has raised a gazillion dollars among country-club Atlanta Republicans) and Congressman Mac Collins (who, like Cain, is a solid conservative and would make a fine Senator). There is a fourth candidate, Al Bartell, but he hasn't picked up much traction and will either drop out before the July 20 primary or stay in the race and get 1% of the vote. Isakson is favored to get more votes in the primary than any of the others, but in Georgia primaries a candidate needs an outright majority (50%+1) to avoid a run-off, and with two solid conservatives such as Cain and Collins running hard and bringing conservatives to the polls, we can force Isakson into an August 10 run-off. Whoever makes the run-off between Cain and Collins will be favored against the pro-abortion Isakson. I hope Herman Cain makes the run-off and beats Isakson in the run-off and whomever the Democrats nominate in the general, but if Collins beats out Cain I will wholeheartedly support Collins.
