Johnny Isakson will win reelection over the underdog Jim Barkdale but it will be by 5-15 points. Barkdale is a folksy Southern Democrat, but he does not have the DSCC money.
Former Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes (D) and Congressman David Scott endorsed Isakson. Some leftists are vexed with Scott, an African American "New Democrat" that they are floating a challenge from the Left in 2018. They think that he is an "Atlanta DLC corporatist".
Isakson will win, but Jason Carter, Sanford Bishop, Kasim Reed probably wish that they had ran this cycle.
