ATLANTA - With just over a week to go before Election Day, the match-up between U.S. Rep. John Barrow, D-Savannah, and former Congressmen Max Burns remains extremely tight, according to poll results announced Friday.
The latest survey in the 12th District congressional race shows Barrow with a slight edge over Burns - 42 percent to 39 percent - among voters who say they will cast ballots on Nov. 7.
But considering that the margin of error is 6 percentage points, the poll indicates the two candidates are running neck and neck. A high number of respondents - 19 percent - indicated they remain undecided.

Exactly!
I don't want to be pessimistic, but if we won ALL the races you mentioned, we'd still be in danger of losing the house. We have 3 seats endagered in Florida, 3 in Indiana, 4 in New York and 4 both Pennsylvania and Ohio. That's not even to mention 2 in Kentucky, and several others.
Not predicting disaster, but it's still a degrees of bad election, not a good election.
Donate money to Burns at his website so he can get through the home stretch and win! The GOP needs to win this and the 3-4 other Dem. held seats looking vulnerable elsewhere if we're going to hold the House. Go here to donate: http://www.maxburns.com/
Bush campaigned for him today, so that should help put Burns over the top. But he'll need money for the final push.
Using the formula that 2/3rds normally break against the incumbent, I predict Republican burns wins 51% garnering 12 percentage points of the undecided and Barrow will get 49% garnering the remaining 7 percentage points.
This putz had to move.
The district was redrawn and in order to remain a resident of his own district he had no choice. He didn't "want" to move to Savannah.
He just did it to tray and save his seat.
I was at the Burns / Bush Rally today. It was incredible. It was amazing to see 5,000 or so people so fired up for the President.
Truly a memorable experience.
I see Burns winning this seat by 6 points or so.
