impossible to say - Quitman is a sleepy little town, with more retirees than workers, and far more churches than bars. I'd have to squat at the polls for hours to give you even a rough estimate.
I will say thi9s much - by all appearances most folks who were voting were voting democrat, by a 5-1 ratio, minimum.
It's the "local" effect.

Voted early (7:15 or so) was the 16th R voter. Only 3 D's had voted by then.

Johnny Isakson is about as pro-life as I am Bantu.

In fact, I'd probably have an easier time passing my self off as a half brother of Thabo Mbeki than he would convincing any rational person that he is opposed to abortion.

FYI..check the NY Times website today..they had a big article on the GA primaries..and fairly objective, at that...

a few questions..what time do the pols close?..also..have all the candidates pledged to support the winner..and/or will Collins endorse Cain in a run-off?

Prayers extended here. Even if I was no political, I would pray for him to win.

He is just a good person.

I can answer only one of your questions - the polls close at 7 p.m.

As to whether or not the others will support the winners, personally, I have not heard any such talk - yet. I'll defer to others from GA that may know.

Also, thank you for the info on the times article.

My guess is that Collins would endorse Cain in a run-off and Cain would endorse Collins. I am a volunteer for Collins, and my conversations with Cain volunteers have always been amicable and we always say these two are the best. I am sticking with Mac today because I know his record and his hard work through the years for solid conservative principles even when it meant bucking the status quo. I trust his viewpoints and his experience. He's been there for conservatives in Georgia all these years, all the while we've longed to have someone like him in office he has been there, and I am going to be there for him today. Best of luck to Mac and Herman today! Whatever the outcome, I feel like together they will be responsible for forcing Isakson into a run-off, when hopefully conservatives will band together and vote for the Big C!

Thanks for the info..and for fighting the good fight..this GA primary is a forerunner of many positive changes to come..as seats in Senate and House becoem more solidly GOP..then the primary races will become mroe ideological..and the party overall more conservtaive...we just missed in PA, but had a nice win in SC..and now GA..do you have any idea what Collins will do after the race? any possibility of a post in the Bush administration..BTW..did the AJC make an endorsement in the Dem primary for Majette's House seat?

Local republicans are having a ice cream social near the courthouse this afternoon in my county. After that, folks will walk over to the courthouse to see the votes tallied.

I'll post our county senate results as soon as I get them.

Small town politics...gotta love it.

Just got back from the polls.

We had a new precinct created this year in our district - so many new voters in 2000 and 2002. This is a heavily Republican district, BTW. I wound up at the new place.

The poll watching ladies told me that business has been substantial and steady all morning long. I got there around 10:15, there were 4-5 people ahead of me to get their ballot cards, and all the voting machines (8-10) were occupied.

I voted for Cain in the Senate race, but I would be perfectly happy with Collins as well. Hopefully all the Cain and Collins supporters will unite behind whichever conservative candidate gets into the runoff with Isakson.

Assuming there is a runoff . . . I hope Cain beats Johnny outright.

Yes it is. It is great fun to be excited about a candidate, and to vote FOR someone.
