No, it's a sign of Bob Barr being foolish. He moved out of his district to run against another Congressman. Now, not only will he not be in Congress, but his district will now be open for the Dems to grab, making it easier for the Dems take control of the House. Barr deserved to lose this primary. I can't believe he would do this.

I believe I read somewhere that both Barr and Linder had their districts comingled and redrawn by the democrat state legislature, so they had to run against each other if they both wanted the position, or one would have to step aside. This way, they get a conservative either way, and the denizens of the district get what they (mostly) want.

Barr did not have a choice. King Roy eliminated Barr's district. I can not see how Barnes got away with this. There is no doubt this redistricting violates voting rights act-wait I forget that's only for minority voters. It's ok to dilute/take away a Republican's right to vote. You should see the Georgia congressional map: spaghetti! The Dems were after Barr because of the impeachment of Clinton. Barr is smart; he'll recover. After all, everytime a moving van pulls into GA, it brings another GOP refugee from the east or left coast. I live in Cherokee county and voted for Barr. Linder is ok though; He is a conservative.
