Austin Scott seems to be closing in on the incumbent Marshall. This race is definitely one to watch in Georgia.

I don’t live in CD 8, thankfully, but I bet Scott takes it. I have met him numerous times and he really has what it takes to lead that district.
They really narrow it down, don’t they?
Where’s the list of the 435 most-vulnerable House races?
U guys at P.P do know there more races that as close as ga8.Mike Keown is polling as good r a sight bit better than Austin.GA2 and GA12 Barrow race is a toss up
I guess they are doing this because this particular race is getting national attention from places like CNN and the Wall Street Journal. Are the others getting national attention?

These are just a few reviews you can find on the GA2 race. This race has been getting state and national attention long before any other races. You have to remember that GA8 has been very close the last few election cycles. GA2 has never been close….until now. Many are starting to see this race as a very possible upset. There is definite momentum for Keown in this race right now and the Bishop campaign made a couple of costly mistakes very early. Keown also topped Bishop’s fundraising last quarter.
Peach3Handel is correct – According to the latest polling, Keown’s numbers are as good if not better than Scott’s.
