I sure wish Bush would make a phone call to the other Republicans in the race and tell them to get the hell out. Cain is the real deal.

This strategy is new to the GOP.
Not a strategy. For democrats, going to church is merely a strategy. Would a John Kerry be in church, much less a black church, if there were no cameras or reporters attending?
Mr. Cain is the real deal. Go Herman!

And think of the help Cain would be to Bush. Of course, being a true conservative, I'm sure at times Cain would be a thorn in Bush's side. But that's fine with me.

Cain has been an enigma to the establishment. By his work ethic he has forced them into giving him credit. It repulses me that so many in the hierarchy are determined to minimize his support.
Election day will be pure vendication!!

A bttt in support of everything said so far- Mr. Cain has my vote, plain and simple. And I'll tell the establishment GOP this- if one of the other guys ends up on the ballot, I'll leave that space blank. They are tired old Republican Retreads with all the shopworn ideas that I'm tired of hearing about.
We need new blood, and Herman Cain is the man to bring it.

I really wish there was a Cain for my state. Feingold is terrible senator.

If Cain gets the nomination (I HOPE SO) I wonder if Zell Miller would consider doing a little campaigning for him? How sweet that would be!

I sure hope Herman buys a ticket to go to the Bush fundraiser here in ATL later today.
Isakson's apppears to have been annointed by Rove and I read that he'll be there.
Herman can afford to shell out the bucks to get a nice big personal 8X10 with his arm around GWB.

Though Cain didn't ask for votes at either church, Baker and the Rev. Joe Roberson of South Columbus were openly political. "I don't know who you're voting for, but I'm voting for Herman," Baker told his flock. "Can I get a witness?"
A black preacher can do that - at least for a black or (usually the same thing) a Democrat candidate. If the Christian Coalition did that for a white Republican, we would never hear the end of it. But freedom of religion certainly includes the freedom of the preacher to espouse political opinions such as, historically, the abolition of slavery. If in fact we did have freedom of religion . . .
And in fact there would be no argument against that freedom, absent the deductibility of charitable contributions - so a flat tax or a national sales tax would restore religious freedom. When a liberal speaks of "wall of seperation between church and state" he really means "wall of protection of antichristian politics from coherent Christian political attack."

Why don't you Georgia residents personally go to the other candidates and tell them to drop out and support Cain? Tell them you won't vote for them. Let the President & Rove know how you feel about Cain.

Hey Sinner,
You need to "Escape Wisconsin" (like the bumper sticker should say). As much as I loved the place and as proud as I am to be from there, I escaped just in time. The year I moved to Georgia was the year Georgia elected it's first Republican Governor since reconstruction and Wisconsin elected it's first "Dummycrat" after 16 years of Tommy Thompson. I cannot believe the people from my home state have 2 Democrat Senators. Feingold ran for his first term on term limits and yet somehow decided not to "self impose" that term limit on himself. And as for Herb "I'm nobody's Senator, but yours" Kohl I have to ask why a gay Jewish billionaire would want to live in D.C. And don't get me started on why a state with so few Jews and homosexuals have managed to reelect his over & over. I would expect someone with his background be elected in the northeast or California, but not Wisconsin The only good thing I can say about Herb Kohl is that he apparently doesn't create much legislation, because I have never heard his name as a sponsor or cosponsor of any prominent bill. I'd prefer all of our legislator act that way. The less government does at all, the better.....

"Why don't you Georgia residents personally go to the other candidates and tell them to drop out and support Cain?"
There's only one candidate who I would consider asking to drop out and support Cain---motivational speaker Al Bartell, who probably won't get as much as 5% and who, being another black conservative, could help Cain in the primary. But asking Mac Collins to drop out could be counterproductive, since it may allow the pro-abortion Johnny Isakson to get 50%+1 and win the primary in the first round. What we need is for all supporters of both Herman Cain and Mac Collins to go to the polls on primary day to ensure that the frontrunner Isakson doesn't get a majority, and whomever finishes second between Collins and Cain (hopefully Cain) can then consolidate the conservative vote and defeat Isakson in the run-off. But Cain's primary candidacy won't peak until the run-off, so we can't risk a one-on-one race against Isakson until then.

Further evidence that Herman Cain is the candidate who will lead us to the promised land (i.e., 30% of the black vote and a permanent majority of the overall vote).

Herman was there. I tell you, Cain has certainly upset the apple cart. He has effectively broadened the base of the party and expanded the conservative base enormously. Something the Used Car Salesmen in the Golden Dome don't care for.
Go Herman Go.

I was talking with Sibby, Herman's admin assistant. She said they are believing they can bypass a runoff. She indicated if the dynamics continue as they are, they have this in the bag.
I am 3rd Vice Chairman in Bibb County (Macon) and can tell you Herman is the favorite by far, about 80%, Houston County (Warner Robins) is the same.
Herman came out swinging today. More forceful than I have ever seen him and aiming straight at Isakson. Rep. Eric Johnson was taken aback. He jumped right on the wagon.

Oh, great news.
Thank you!
I can't vote for him
from where I live,
but I've been praying
for him for months.
I adore Herman Cain.
He HAS to win.
The USA will be blessed by this great man
in the role of US Senator from Georgia.
He'll be running the majority after a short while!
He HAS to win.
