The two Democratic incumbents who had the most difficulty winning re-election in 2006 were both Georgians: Jim Marshall and John Barrow. Both were explicit targets of Georgia's re-redistricting effort, but won their races by a handful of votes despite Democrats having the wind to their backs nationally. It's quite possible that both Marshall and Barrow will face uphill battles for re-election in a Presidential year.
So if Marshall (who's both more popular, but more vulnerable due to a more aggressive re-redistricting) is going to be in a dogfight, why not roll the dice and take on the ultimate chickenhawk, that m)*(*&@*#%&*#%ing c($%*&@(*@&er, Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA). Georgia is one of the few states that seems to be resisting the pro-Democratic trend, but if anyone's got a shot at Chambliss, it's either Cleland or someone like Marshall. And there aren't many Jim Marshalls left in Georgia.
Hmmm ... Inhofe or Chambliss ... I can't decide which one I'd rather take a long-odds shot at.
