Christian Coalition was neutral. Ga.Right to life tried to slime Isakson but I don't think they claim to be a Christian Org.

I can't believe you guys are buying into that poll! Remember in 2002 when the polls said Sonny and Saxby were down by 10 and ended up winning by about 10! And that was in a general election--the day of the election--and they polled 300 people. This poll was more like 300 people. The 02 polls proved to be off by close to 20 points! These could very likely be off by even more!

I meant 3000 people in the 02 polls, compared with 300 here. Plus, Georgia is a changing state. Most of those polled are people who have been republicans for 8-10 years. The data does not include newly switched over, Christian republicans, who have always been democrats before.

Listening to the replay now. Heard Cain on Medved once before. The guy is good, smart, and conservative. Wish the country had more like him.

I think the better analogy is the Dem Iowa primary. It is common for voters not to pay attention until days before the election. If you recall 3-4 days before Iowa, Dean was supposed to win big, however in days before the election when voters started paying attention things changed.

Some of the voters that say they are voting for Isakson might not have known who Cain was when the poll took place, but when they learn things may change.

People change their minds, and for every undecided that votes for Isakson, there may be many more that become familiar with Cain and switch their vote.

My prediction is things end up like they did in South Carolina.

We contacted the Christian Coalition to express our concern about their lack of support for Mac or Herman as well as what appeared to be their embrace of Isakson. If you're familiar with this story, it looks like Isakson duped Sadie Fields into believing he was really pro-life. I feel like the Coalition's position gained some support from people who otherwise would have supported Mac or Herman. For example, Robert Lamutt, a pro-life Ga. senator, endorsed Isakson early on, lending his name to Isakson's campaign and getting some of his supporters to back Isakson. Even the Senate voter guide put out by the coalition did little to help the pro-life candidates. It was just posted on the website and not distributed, so who would know about it? And the only question about abortion the guide asked was about abortions in military hospitals (why not ask about the constitutional amendment to really get to the heart of the issue). Fields said in one article she felt like Isakson was on a "journey" on the pro-life issue, but we sure don't need somebody like that in office. We need the rock-solid pro-life commitment held by Collins and Cain. I also know the coalition gave money to Isakson's political action committee back in 1999 or 2000 - why I have no idea. Even the former state chairman of the coalition, Jerry Keen, is backing Isakson publicly. All this makes me think the coalition needs a new board of directors that will actually work towards living up to the name of the group. As far as Georgia Right to Life, they have done a great job getting out the facts about Isakson. They have thousands of people on their mailing list and sent out a great publication telling the facts about JI and also Mac and Herman. We personally gave out our own voter guides in some of our local churches to educate people on this issue. If anybody reading this is interested in getting a copy, reply off-board and I will send you what we prepared. I think it changed some minds, and it might help in the (Lord willing!) run-off.

No organization calling itself Christian should endorse any candidate. It does harm to the cause of Christ.To often the "Christian Candidate" fails personally (Newt)Ga. Right to life has adopted the tactics of the world.You can not tell the difference in their half truths and those of other interest groups.That is sad.My God is big enough to win his battles without me resorting to the ends justify the means.

>why not ask about the constitutional amendment to really get to the heart of the issue).<

Simple it would have pointed out the inconsistency of Cain and Collins positions.If you are for an amendment to ban Abortions you can't be for the life of the mother exemption.Also it would make George Bush,Saxby Chambliss and a number of conservatives look bad.(have you noticed this issue has not come up in 4 or 5 years in congress)
