Isakson: no runoff with [Herman] Cain next Tuesday

GAINESVILLE - Republican U.S. Senate candidate Johnny Isakson said Monday in Gainesville he wants a straight win, not a runoff in next Tuesday's primary.

The Sixth District Congressman found friendly ground when he called on Cottrell Incorporated, a Gainesville based vehicle transport equipment producer.

He spoke to plant workers and met with Cottrell executives.

Isakson said he's working just as hard as opponent Herman Cain for a winning vote next Tuesday.

Cain stopped in Clermont Saturday at the beginning of a state wide campaign swing and predicted he and Isakson would emerge from the July 20th Republican Primary in a runoff contest.

Isakson does have lots of corporate money, name the recognition, and the backing of the country-club Republicans, but he is deluding himself if he thinks he is working as hard as Herman Cain. Cain is in the middle of a 52-county-in-8-day tour. And Cain has the message, the momentum, and the enthusiam.

Hmmm me thinks he protest too much. If you ARE working hard, then why feel the need to mention it? I wonder.

Yes. If he can beat Isaksen in the primary, Cain WILL win the general.

Opinion polls in a primary are hardly worth a pitcher of warm spit.

Supposedly the AJC had commissioned a Senate primary poll and the results were supposed to be released yesterday, Sunday splash and all.
The results haven't been released, it either says:

1. Cain is closer to Isakson than AJC wants to release (since they (AJC) endorsed Isakson)
2. Cain is so far behind that releasing it is meaningless to the results and is a non-story.

Thanks..... you would think some group is doing some polling outside the individual campaigns.... Maybe some University, media organization ,etc....
