Cain opens South Georgia Field Office

U.S. Senate candidate first to open office outside of Atlanta

April 21, 2004

VALDOSTA, GA – Before a large crowd of supporters, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, Herman Cain, opened a South Georgia Field Office in Valdosta, Wednesday, April 21.

“I am excited about opening an office in South Georgia,” said Cain. “I have been traveling throughout the state and I have received overwhelming support everywhere I go. We are opening this office so that Team Cain members have a place locally to make phone calls, to organize to go door-to-door and to pick up literature and yard signs to distribute.”

Team Cain is leading the other campaigns in grassroots organization. Cain, the first candidate to go on television and radio, has been steadily building an unparalleled grassroots organization across Georgia. With a network of volunteer field representatives and regional coordinators, as well as county chairs and coalition leaders, Cain is taking his conservative, common sense message directly to the voters.

“To be a United States Senator, I believe that you need to represent the entire state,” said Cain. “I have been traveling across Georgia, going door-to-door and business-to-business, meeting individually with voters.

Cain and his chief opponent Congressman Johnny Isakson are neck and neck for this quarter total raised and Cain has out raised Congressman Mac Collins for the second consecutive quarter.

“My message of replacing the tax code with a national sales tax, restructuring Social Security using personal retirement accounts and stopping out-of-control government spending has been resonating across Georgia,” Cain concluded. “I am proud to be the first Georgia U.S. Senate candidate to open an office outside of Atlanta.”

The new office, located at 100 North Patterson Street in Valdosta, is being run by Kristina Twitty of Valdosta. She can be reached at (229) 244-1134 or by email at kristina@cainforussenate.org. For additional information on Herman Cain, please visit: www.cainforussenate.org.

Go Herman Go!

[Doug Loss]

When is the Georgia primary? It'll be great to see both Toomey and Cain in the Senate!

[Republican Red]

July 20th.

I'm in Isakson's 6th district. I plan on voting for Cain.

[MplsSteve]

I have no problem with Herman Cain. He's an entrepreneur and a decent guy. The Senate needs people like that.

The question is "Which Republican has the best chance in November?"

The answer seems to be Johnny Isakson.

And no, he's not an Arlen Specter RINO act-alike. Look at Isakson's record. It's fairly conservative and probably good enough for Georgia standards.

GO HERMANATOR!

[pogo101]

Aw nuts. You beat me to the "Hermantor" usage!

[backhoe]

I will walk through fire to vote for Mr. Cain. Click the picture:

Yes. . .Go Herman Go! . . .

I will vote for Herman Cain.

We need new Repubs and inspiring new role models of citizenship and accomplishment; and of course, we need Republicans. . .

[litany_of_lies]

Cain is black, and while I would rather that not be important, it is.

First, Cain is most likely the stronger candidate if you ignore race. He's not afraid to stand up to challenges, such as the way he dressed down Bill Clinton or his representative (don't remember which) during the HillaryCare attempt in 1994 (he pointed out that forcing a place like Papa John's to give health care to its workers would cause a combination of much higher prices, layoffs, and business contraction, but he said it much better than I just did).

Even if you force me to concede that some white Georgians won't ever vote for a black man, I would argue that in the general election some black GA voters who normally vote for Dems will vote for Cain because he is a black man, Jesse HighJackson notwithstanding.

So on balance the racial negatives offset the racial positives, and the importance of having a black GOP Senator who speaks his mind and is nobody's Uncle Tom at a national level can't be overestimated. Can you say VP candidate in 2008 or 2012?

The Dem field in GA is from what I can tell weak, but someone may have to enlighten me on that. If the Dems try to compete by nominating a black person (I think the gal who beat Cynthia McKinney is entering the race), Cain will win hands down. Everybody with a brain knows they have to vote for somebody, and the person who beat Cynthia has drifted way to the left since her election.

[Tennessean4Bush]

I think it was Godfather's and not Papa John's. But I nitpick.

[UlsterDavy]

The primary is July 20th

[Robert A Cook PE]

johnny is my representative....

And has been totally invisible.

He has done nothing, defended nothing, defended the president in now ays nor has he EVER said anything to defend us against democratic lies, nor helped us control government in any way, shape or form.

He IS the definition of a country-club RINO-in-being pubbicrat Senator.

"The question is "Which Republican has the best chance in November? The answer seems to be Johnny Isakson.

And no, he's not an Arlen Specter RINO act-alike. Look at Isakson's record. It's fairly conservative and probably good enough for Georgia standards."

I am looking at Mr Isakson's voting record and it is far from conservative. He supported abortion (13 times) before he went against it. Mr Isakson squeezed by in his voting record to even be a Republican.

What does "probably good enough for Georgia standards" mean?

[AnAmericanMother]

Isakson is my representative too. He is a total bust. El RINO Supremo.

Not only is he a liberal "Republican" who has always been pro-abort and absolutely silent when he should have been supporting Bush . . . his constituent services are non existent. You can't get any information when you call his office, and if you write him about an issue you get a weaselly one page form letter that tries to take both sides of every issue.

The only things in the middle of the road are yellow stripes and dead possums.

I'm voting for Cain. If he doesn't make the runoff, I'm voting for Collins. I will only vote for Isakson in the general, and that as a last resort. I honestly don't believe he can be counted on - he'll wind up weaselling around and voting with the Dems most of the time, like Snow and the rest of those libs.

[UlsterDavy]

His conservative friends have been calling him "the Hermanator" for a while.

I Hermanate voters daily. :)

Join the Herman-nation :)

[litany_of_lies]

That was an accurate nit to pick.

[Democratshavenobrains]

Plus, if Baraka wins in Illinois, the Dems will NEVER shut up about having the only African-American in the Senate.

[pogo101]

I wish I could be a Georgian just for the primary and general elections! (Not that the general is in that much doubt, not in that state.) I'd raise Cain if I were able. :P (Very very old joke by now)

[litany_of_lies]

Whoa, didn't know Baraka was black.

Why is IL so far to the left of OH anyway? I have a feeling Bush needs IL this time around.

[xrp]

Hermanator ping.
