Herman Cain to join Gingrich in Georgia
http://www.ajc.com/news/georgia-politics-elections/herman-cain-to-join-1350305.html
Herman Cain, left, and Republican presidential candidate former House Speaker Newt Gingrich campaign Monday, Jan. 30, 2012, in Fort Myers, Fla.
A Gingrich spokeswoman confirmed that Cain, a Stockbridge businessman and former presidential hopeful, will campaign with Gingrich at three appearances Saturday.
Gingrich and Cain are scheduled to appear at a town hall Saturday at South Forsyth County High School in Cumming at 10 a.m., a town hall Collins High School in Suwanee at 11:30 a.m. and a rally at the Marriott Atlanta Northwest near Smyrna at 3 p.m. Gingrich will also hold a rally at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Atlanta Regional Airport in Peachtree City.
The March 6 primary in Georgia looms as a critical contest for Gingrich, who represented a suburban Atlanta district in Congress for two decades including two terms as Speaker of the House.
Georgia has the most Republican convention delegates of any of the 10 states voting on what is known as Super Tuesday, and Republican presidential hopefuls Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum have targeted Georgia as well. Gingrichs only primary victory thus far has come in South Carolina, and his campaign sees a strong showing in Georgia as vital to regaining momentum in the topsy-turvy nomination contest.

Also, GA is winner-take-all IF a candidate receives at least 50%. He should win without much work, but to break 50% will be a task.

Gimme a break. They're not campaigning together. They're probably just trying to score together.

and a little publicity will let the women know they are out on the prowl.
