The entirety of my political and campaign experience has been in primaries and until last night, all the races were defeats. It was discouraging watching the establishment betray the conservative cause and put elitist RINOs into power. The Herman Cain race was probably the hardest pill to swallow of them all. 2006 is a different story. Lee Hawkins won the state senate seat being vacated by Casey Cagle who also won his race to become the next Lt. Governor. As I have mentioned before, the biggest threat to the GOP is not just from RINOs. To truly save the GOP and the conservative movement, we must reject the careerists and elitists who are willing to sell their souls for their personal gain. We need citizen legislators who put the conservative cause above their personal interests. Lee Hawkins exemplifies what a true citizen legislator in the mold our founding fathers envisioned.

Lee Hawkins won his race because he and a dedicated group of volunteers walked neighborhoods every Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday and talked to fellow citizens on their front porches about the issues.
He ran on eliminating the state income tax and implementing the Georgia Fairtax and a Tax Payer’s Bill of Rights. I have to say, it sure feels great to finally see all the hard work pay off and the good guys like Mark Harris, Lee Hawkins and Casey Cagle winning elections. We must keep up the fight to Save The GOP. As Herman Cain would always say, “the only way for evil to prosper is for good men to do nothing.” Keep up the fight.

I had my doubts about Johnny Isackson when he decided to run for Senate from Georigia back in 2004. I supported Herman Cain in the primary because he was easily the more conservative candidate. Isackson went on to win and I must admit he has surprised me with his voting record in the Senate. But he appears to be going back to his moderate roots. Senator Johnny Isackson has joined the Republican Main Street Partnership.. A group dedicated to pushing the centrist agenda.

Every month or so I decide to put myself on edge by checking in on the web edition of “The Nation”, that proud standard bearer of everything that has made life generally unhappy in America. This is a banner week for the limousine liberal croud, and the content shows. Hit pieces on evangelical Christians that like baseball, advocates of marriage, and what I can only call a “Lamontgasm” splashed on the front page.

Y’all enjoy.

Having trailed Jeff Crank since the last update, Doug Lamborn holds a narrow lead of 14,020 votes to Crank’s 12,845 in the Colorado 05 open Republican Primary.

414 out of 424 precincts reporting.

Did the Club for Growth endorse Lamborn? I don’t see anything on the Club’s Web site.

The other four GOP challengers have 48.5% of the vote so far.

UPDATE:

With all precints but one reporting, Crank almost beat Lamborn. Lamborn’s total holds at 14,997 compared to Crank’s 14,076. Lamborn squeaks by with just 27% of the vote.
