He is still the last white Democrat in the deep south. Was 2012 proof of his staying power or was it just a fluke due to his opponent? Can he hold on in 2014?

Him and McIntyre will be lucky to survive given the demographics of the district.

If Saxby Chambliss gets primaried next year and the GOP ends up with some horrid Akin/Mourdock candidate, Barrow could have a chance of winning a Senate race.

Barrow's issue will be the turnout drop, especially in Richmond County; in 2010, it cast 49K votes but it was up to 79K in 2012. He needs to keep making inroads with rural voters.

The two greatest men to run for president since Lincoln? What does that prove?

That, if Saxby falls to a challenger, it won't necessarily be a "horrid Akin/Mourdock candidate", insofar as these two men are active politicians in Georgia who could also challenge Saxby.

I'm fairly certain Gingrich no longer lives in Georgia...

Beyond that though, he might be able to pull in a decent showing if he ran for higher office, but he most likely wouldn't win.  He will be in trouble in his district if he stays in the House, but I think he could pull through.

Gingrich wouldn't do nearly as well in metro Atlanta today as he would have 20 years ago. He'd definitely win big time in the outer suburbs but I'm convinced he would probably lose Cobb and Gwinnett and maybe even North Fulton against a solid challenger, and if that's the case then it's game over.
