If Barr would have just kept his butt still and stayed in his district instead of moving to a new district he would still be in the House.

Perhaps, though I think he was such a polarizing figure even in that district, he might very well ended up losing. Gingrey was a better bet in successfully holding that seat. I'm not entirely sure Barr will prevail in getting the nomination for Isakson's seat, there's probably a lot of Republicans in that district that would like a shot at it and don't want him carpetbagging it for a 2nd time...
