Atlanta Journal and Constitution Endorses John Barrow for Congress

The Atlanta Journal and Constitution today released its endorsements for all 13 of Georgia’s congressional district, calling Barrow’s bipartisan record in Congress “an admirable quality in these days of extreme partisanship:”

John Barrow, the Democratic incumbent in the 12th District, likes to point out that he regularly crosses his party leadership when his conscience requires it. That's an admirable quality in these days of extreme partisanship and one of the reasons voters should re-elect Barrow over Republican Max Burns in a rematch of the 2004 election. The eastern Georgia district has since been changed to bolster Republican chances, but Barrow votes frequently enough for GOP-endorsed legislation that voters in that party should feel comfortable retaining him.
