Many conservatives are upset because Sen. Chambliss has backtracked on his anti-tax increase pledge. Can conservative businessman Herman Cain capitalize on it? From Politico: "Herman Cain would crush Sen. Saxby Chambliss in a Republican primary if the pizza mogul were to run in 2014, according to a
poll released Tuesday. Cain led Chambliss (R-Ga.) 50 percent to 36 percent in a survey from [liberal firm] Public Policy Polling. Of those surveyed, 45 percent approved of the job the incumbent is
doing, while 36 percent disapproved. In contrast, 68 percent said they
had a favorable opinion of Cain, the former presidential hopeful, and 20
percent had an unfavorable view."
The article continues: "PPP also offered match-ups with other possible primary challengers,
including outgoing Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) and RedState.com editor
Erick Erickson, but Chambliss bested all except for Cain. Cain has
said he is not seeking the Senate seat."
