I'd like to see a race of it in GA; but I'd need to several pollsters show a competitive race of it post-conventions to even begin to think McCain has a fight on his hands
Is Barr likely to receive significant support in GA at around 6% or will it erode further?

I would imagine it depends somewhat on how he campaigns. 6% would not be unreasonable as a final result for Barr in Georgia, but it's at the higher end of what I would expect. Georgia is not, after all, a particularly Libertarian-friendly state. Its neighbors, except for Florida, are likely to be among Barr's worst performances.
The South is probably the least friendly region in the country to third parties, Southern reactionary candidates such as Strom Thurmond and George Wallace notwithstanding.
Very true; Perot failed to get 20% in any Southern state, excluding Texas.
