GA-08, GA-12: Dems Struggling In Georgia

While Dems are poised for big gains in House races around the country, there's one place where Dems are struggling: Georgia. That's because a recent redistricting —- which immediately followed a GOP takeover of the Legislature in 2004 -— has left two conservative Democratic Congressman, Jim Marshall and John Barrow, fighting tough challenges from former Reps. Mac Collins and Max Burns, respectively. In Barrow's case, the redraw actually removed his longtime hometown, Dem stronghold Athens. As Larry Sabato told the Los Angeles Times: "I really don't think there is another state where there are two Democratic seats that are at least somewhat vulnerable."
