I think Marshall would beat Isakson soundly in the general election. Pro-life conservatives and Democrats would back Marshall, leaving Isakson with . . . liberal Republicans, not a big demographic in Georgia.

I agree, Marshall is exactly the kind of candidate who can take advantage of Isakson's pro-abortion stance. Rural conservative Democrats (you know, the people who decide elections in Georgia) probably prefer the RATs on many economic issues, and if the GOP nominee is not pro-life, I don't see how we can hope to win.

I agree with DJ that we should be able to pick up Marshall's district if he runs for the Senate. Our best-case scenario is if the mayor of Atlanta or some such liberal defeats Marshall in the primary, and we can win both the Senate seat (hopefully with Herman Cain) and the 3rd CD seat.
