2. Isakson(r) takes GA

3. Did Kerry's coattails help Majette?

Bush 58.03% Kerry 41.43% Badnarik(L) .5%

These results suggest that a majority of voters who voted Libertarian in the Senate race also voted for Kerry. IMHO these voters were not voting against Majette, but for the Senate candidate they were most familiar with. A smaller portion of those who voted for Kerry also voted for Isakson, probably for the same reason.

Nearly all who voted for Majette also voted for Kerry. Kerry didn't drive voters away from Majette, Majette lost votes because she was virtually unknown to all living outside of the 4th district and metro Atlanta. As a result..two of the counties Kerry won went to Isakson. It also seems clear that Bush hurt Isakson more than he helped.
