Good deal - so I take it you think Cain won the debate? :-)

For your Cain ping list!

[ExSoldier]

I'm not a Georgia resident (went to college for a year in 1976 at Valdosta State) and so I don't know any of these folks. Where do they stand on the 2nd Amendment and the AWB?

[TatieBug]

Thanks for the nice report. Watching from CA and am quite interested in how well Cain is doing. I am constantly looking for poll numbers on FR but don't see much. Any info or places I can watch this race more closely?

[DefCon]

Are you quoting from "A" lettter to the editor?
Was this "Your" letter to the editor?
To what paper was it written?
And was it actually printed?
Your posting is not clear on these things...

Conservatives for Cain ping. Lets beat the RINO's somewhere.

I have heard Cain several times on the Michael Medved show. He would be a wonderful addition to the United States Senate. And he has the kind of upbeat, can-do attitude that might well make it happen.

He told a story of how the bumble bee was not supposed to fly based on the laws of aero dynamics and physics. “It’s body is too heavy, it’s wing’s are too small, it’s not supposed to be possible” he said. “No one told the bumble bee that it could not fly”

Very nice. It also appears Mr. Cain can "float like a butterfly and sting like a (bumble)bee."

I also want Cain to win because it may give momentum to Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, who is African-American, in his quest for the governorship in 2006. This is important because from all appearances Mr. Blackwell is the only non-RINO in the entire state's GOP leadership.

As much as I love Cain, I can't help but get the feeling that he will be Georgias "Toomey."

I have been saddened that the Ohio GOP has been giving Blackwell leftovers for years. Backing Taft instead of him as governor laft time.

We will see if tey move him ahead of the pack for 2006.

If by that you mean backstabbed by the national party in a primary, I fear that too.

The Ohio Party will not clear the field for Blackwell, but he will win the nomination in 2006 regardless.

“With all due respect to my opponents, they are a part of the status quo. They are career politicians, I am a career problem solver."

Perfect summation, and why we need Herman Cain. Collins and Isakson are not bad guys; but they are tired old Republican retreads with the same old ideas. We need new ideas and fresh approaches to government- at local, state, and federal levels.

Can't speak for GWB and Rove, but I don't believe this will happen here like in PA bcz:

1. Spector is an incumbent Senator, Isakson is not.
2. POTUS usually campaign only for incumbents during a primary, if at all.
3. Georgia is not "in play"...it will go for Bush, and this seat will go to whoever the (R) nominee is...

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you have the right take on this.

[UlsterDavy]

This was MY letter to various newspapers. It has not been printed yet since it was just written today (Sunday) about an event late last night (Saturday). I have a good track record of getting my letters printed.

Good report UD. Wish I could have been there. I'll be at Cain HQ Monday morning, and I expect they are still pumped. What a great bunch of folks to work with. What a great leader.

TatieBug, I wish we had some poll numbers for you, but right now they aren't doing any polling that I'm aware of. Maybe the first of the week (after the first debate with Mr. self proclaimed "front runner" Johnny Isakson). The only two polls I saw were several weeks ago and were paid for by Isakson. Naturally he showed up as a strong first place. In the first one though Mac Collins was in second place, but in the last one Herman Cain was in second.

One thing is abundantly clear from my perspective. Herman Cain has all of the momentum and the other two look like balloons with a slow leak. Isakson and Collins both have the personality of sticks and as a legislator, Johnny Isakson is a pretty good ex Realtor.
