Probably an R gain, yeah.

Landmark is pretty bad, I don't buy it. If Barrow loses, I'll see it on election day.

Barrow will win, but it'll be closer than it should be.

It's R+9, Barrow shouldn't be winning as is. It's his strength as a candidate that allows him to win so consistently.

District polling is not a reliable thing (sorry to sound like a stuck record). But obviously this is a vulnerable district. Maybe Barrow loses this time; maybe not. If he does I suspect he'll have another crack at the seat in two years anyway...

Or he could go for Isakson's seat.

Doubtful -it would be much harder for John Barrow to win his district back as a challenger than as an incumbent.  

If anything, he would be more likely to seek a statewide office.  Especially given Georgia is slowly trending towards the Democrats while his district is not.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if he lost.  Peterson in MN-07 could be the last bonafide red seat Dem standing after this election.

We lose it now, or we lose it when he retires.

My general line of thinking.

If he does run I'd put that race as Lean D. He's a perfect candidate for the state, albeit being more conservative than I'd like.

Considering 90% of Barrow's ads were about how he was more right wing than the Republican, I can't say I'm too upset he lost. If he wants to run statewide he'll need to do so in the next couple cycles, because I have a feeling he'll soon be unacceptable to the broader Georgia Democratic electorate (if he isn't already).

It's funny, considering his voting record. Speaking of him exaggerating, does anyone else feel like he exaggerated his Southern accent? I'm from the same district and have a similar accent, but my accent is nowhere near that thick.
