Isakson is the weakest of the GOP nominees running for the 2004 Senate. He could probably beat Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin. Isakson would have a tough time standing up to Thurbert Baker. Against Jim Marhsall, Johnny Isakson would be steamrolled. A Middle Georgian, who is pro-life and pro-gun, gives the Democrats the advantage in the Peach State.

I agree...Isakson would be a very weak candidate compared to Collins.

Collins is just far enough out of Atlanta to identify with non-metro swing voters. I just don't think Isakson can identify with them, who are the ones who deliver elections in statewide races.
