Collins is a good ole guy with good principles but he doesn't seem prepared for the Senate. Herman Cain, the black conservative candidate, is emerging as the main candidate for the Right in the Georgia Senate race.

Cain would be a great addition to the GOP in the Senate and could help them begin to capture some of the minority vote. He has the best platform and ideas of the three, but I'm afraid that he won't do well in the rural down-state area.

I hope your asessment is wrong on Cain. Saw him on TV once. Man he would be a great addition to the Senate "club".
To: rwfromkansas
There haven't been any "official" polls released in 5+ months but the Cain people seem very confident they are in a firm second place. If there is a run-off between moderate republican Isakson and conservative Republican Cain, Cain has a good chance since Georgia is generally conservative. But Isakson has a lot of name recognition, so he has a chance of getting 50%+ in the primary.

Saw the title and I thought Suzie Red Dress was running again.
Then I realized she wasn't a pubbie to begin with.
Speaking of maine politicians, how come you let the drunk Pat Lamarche lose on the country.

He is the first black to seek a statewide office in Georgia under the GOP banner since Reconstruction. If you don't count Al Bartell's run in 2002 for Lt. Governor, and probably others, too .....

Cain is polling 2nd. I don't know the margins....
To: ken5050
If there is a Cain-Isakson runnoff, Collins will endorse Cain. JMHO.
To: Principled
Thanks...GA politics is fascinating this year. First Zell, speaking at the GOP convention, and campaigning for W. Then Majette...what's significant about her giving up a safe seat for a suicidal run for the Senate is that it took her less than one term to realize that the Dems will never retake the House in her lifetime..and she's stuck cacusing with the Pelosis and the CBC crazies..this was a way OUT for her, with honor. ASnd crazy Cynthia, whom Majette defeated..will win back her seat...I can't wait till Kerry makes his one campaign appearance in the South..in Atlanta...with Majette AND McKinney..will he disavow Cyn..will she blam the JEWS again..stay tuned..
BTW.I ahve a suggestion that I wanted to toss out here..think it woudl be a great mail campaign to GOP senators....Zell Miller is retiring this term. I'd love to see the Senate GOP invite him to preside over the Senate for one day..

Woah... I live in the Metro Atlanta area and I didn't even know Collins was still in the race. Everything I've heard on radio and TV of late has been Cain or Isakson. Collins hasn't entered any of the political discussions I've had with anyone lately, either. He really needs to get his visibility up if he plans on "peaking."
To: ken5050
In fairness to Cyn, she didn't blame the Jews - at least not in public. That was her idiot dad.
But a quick scan of her donor list does reveal an awful lot of Ahmeds and Mohammeds and Hakims, etc.
I'm a resident of the 4th, and the best we can hope for at this point is a strong Levetan showing.

GO HERMAN GO! Dang straight. I'll proudly pull the lever for Herman come time for the primary.
I got a Cain bumper sticker from my tool guy, and was very surprised to see a handwritten message from Cain on the back.

Money doesn't win races in GA. Just ask Guy Millner, Roy Barnes, and Max Cleland.
I suspect Collins will do better than this article suggests.

Collins does have his base and he will have a good showing. He may well have the "silent majority" but I think he is not trying hard at all. He doesn't seem to be well known outside of his district.
