If I remember from earlier Threads, Cain's internal polling was showing him to within teens of Isakson (IE 45-30ish), no numbers from the Isakson camp, but thier increased ad actuvity and allout slime campaign against Cain in the last 2 weeks shows that the numbers are close enough that they are clearly worried about a runoff.

As I said above -- Isakson is a known, he will not pull much more in a runoff than he will today. Cain will have the chance to grab most of Collins support. If Cain is within 15 points today, then he has at worst a 40-50% chance of winnning a runoff.

I saw the candidates on the news Channel 11 NBC in Atlanta today at lunch. They ask Isakson how it looked at he said "We have not done any polling since Sunday."

Reporter: "And what did it say."

Isakson: "We are in the hunt."

That does not sound very confidant to me. I think he is very worried about their numbers.

Cain was also on the segment and he said he plans to have a runoff if not win it outright.

Collins was on there as well, but I did not hear his comments.
