Cain doesn't have a record, he's never been in office. You might like his position on the issues, but that's not his record.

Anyhow, it basically comes down to this: Do you want a new Paul Coverdell in the Senate (Isakson), or a new Phil Gramm (Cain)?

I'd be fine with either.

No. I want a Georgia version of Jesse Helms..Mac Collins..Mac has the experience..he is not a moderate like Isakson...he is not inexperienced like Cain....With Collins you will get hard work, straight talk and common sense solutions....I hope Georgians don't make the mistake like Virginia did when the Virginia GOP nominated that Oliver North instead of a good man like Reagan's former OMB chief Jim Miller....

well, thats true, I meant his positions, especially his economic positions. I was just thinking in national terms, unfortunately there is still a misconception that African Americans and others are better off with democrat policies when the exact opposite is true. It is sad that it would take a Rep black Senator to change this, but the truth is it might open a lot of eyes and cut into the dim black and hispanic votes, he will have an especially high profile, which he can use to this end. I think all the folks at the NAACP are about at tipping point, they just need someone to push them a little bit and the whole structure will be exposed for what it is.

So anyway, if your fine with either then it can't hurt going for Cain.

Isakson is too soft on the issues.
