VP Rankings Georgia

Georgia Democrats
Roy Barnes: Former Gov, Ranking: 5, If Obama thinks he really has a chance at Georgia, Barnes may not be that bad.
Max Cleland: Former Sen, Ranking: 6, Could help Obama some in security issues and in the south, but loss reelection in the senate.
Sam Nunn: Former Sen: Ranking: 8, Most of Nunn's straights are in areas where Obama is weak.
Stanford Bishop: Rep GA-2, Ranking:4, Solid credentials, but Obama is unlikely to put a second African American on the ticket.
Hank Johnson: Rep GA-4, Ranking: 3, Obama can't have another First termer on the ticket.
John Lewis: Rep GA-5, Ranking: 5, Would be a good tie to the 60s civil rights movement.
Jim Marshall: Rep GA-8, Ranking: 5, Could appeal to the south and social conservatives.
John Barrow: Rep GA-12, Ranking: 4, Too unknown to help Obama.
David Scott: Rep GA-13: Ranking: 3, Obama is unlikely to chose another African American.

Georgia Republicans
Sonny Perdue: Gov, Ranking: 6, A solid pick as a Southern Governor, but may not be as good as Christ or Stanford.
Saxby Chambliss: Sen, Ranking: 6, Only a one term Senator, but is a fairly powerful first termer.
Johnny Issakson: Sen, Ranking: 4, Unless McCain sees something I don't it won't be Issakson.
Jack Kingston: Rep GA-1, Ranking: 5, First elected in 1992, strongly conservative record down the line.
Lynn Westmoreland: Rep GA-3, Ranking: 2, His appearance on Colbert is one of the great moments in television history.
Tom Price: Rep GA-6, Ranking: 5, A good pick if McCain is looking for a faceless southerner.
John Linder: Rep GA-7, Ranking: 6, Vet Congressman who has strong anti-tax record.
Nathan Deal: Rep GA-9, Ranking: 4, A former moderate Democrat, now a conservative Republican.
Paul Broun: Rep GA-10, Ranking:3, Won his seat in a special election in 2007.
Phil Gingrey: Rep GA-11, Ranking: 5, Could fill the role of Southerner on the GOP ticket.
