Good letter from HC! Looks like he will be a wonderful partner for John Linder on the Fair Tax. Does anyone have recent reports on how the Senate primary race is stacking up in Georgia?

"Does anyone have recent reports on how the Senate primary race is stacking up in Georgia?"

That's a good question - one that I have tried to get a handle on. Cain has moved ahead of Collins for second place behind Johnnny Isakson. Isakson has the advantage of name recognition and $$$. Herman's campaign definitely has momentum. His political director told me last week that he is shooting for a complete victory on July 20. That would be a stunning development. More realistic would be for him to hold Isakson below 50% on the first ballot and pick off more of Collins's conservative votes in a runoff. I think that he has a chance to be the next senator and it would make headlines. He has come from absolutely nowhere in terms of name recognition. Herman himself seems extremely upbeat and enthusiastic. I hear almost nothing but positives and he seems to be having the time of his life. He has a great ability to connect with people and he is much more vibrant and charismatic than either of his two opponents. His political director says they haven't done any polling. This is going to be fascinating to watch these next 60 days.
