Deal has recently gotten some bad press, at least the center left groups are hounding him good. However, I don't see any good Democrat besides Barrow to run against Deal. Reed would be good, but he has a healthy relationship with Deal and wouldn't want to loose that, plus he knows his chances are better in 2018. Abrams is focused on the House and most likely won't run and the others don't have the name recognition outside of the Eastern Metro, certainly not Holcomb, maybe Carter because of the legacy of his family.
Now Deal does face a primary opponent, Mayor Pennington of Dalton, who is trying to out flake Deal on the right, he has the network and money to give it a go. Could hurt Deal some what but most likely would loose the nomination.
