GA 5th Congressional race is under the radar.. Career politicial icon John Lewis is actually campaigning against his republican challenger...Fenn Little. Atlanta Georgia has never before seen Lewis bother signs, street picketing. Until now, Fenn Little is a white (color-blind civil rights attorney. An intelligent veteran Alliance Defense Fund lawyer. He remains below the national radar like a jack in-the box.

If GA-5 goes into the R column, there'd be no Democrats left in Georgia's Congressional delegation. It's a minority-majority district that's D+26, making it the 30th most Democrat district in the country.

GA-8 in middle Georgia (Marshall) and GA-2 in SW Georgia (Bishop) are competitive and are ripe for the picking. GA-12 South-Central GA (Barrow) is possible.

But GA-13 South/Western ATL suburbs(Scott) GA-4 Dekalb/Rockdale(Johnson) and GA-5 Atlanta (Lewis) have to be super tsunami scenarios to go into the D column -- in that order. There wouldn't be any Democrats left if Lewis loses.

Several unique tactical factors in GAs 5th make Lewis vulnerable. Foremost is his personal incompetence and arrogance. Even more importantly, discerning district voters have a viable and palatable alternative in Fenn Little. This courageous man is both bright and color blind. These fundamentals supercede the failure democrats nationally.
