Well everybody loved Linder so we voted Woodall in and Mr GG2 and I have gone down the road with him for two elections. He just isn’t doing the job. Everybody is getting sick of his loyalty to Boehner so he can hang onto his committee assignments. We go to all the townhalls. We are not voting for him in 2016.

Primarying is extremely difficult. Only one Republican has defeated another incumbent in a primary in GA at the federal level in the modern era, and that was in 2002 when John Linder beat Bob Barr (and this was incumbent vs. incumbent).

The only substantial challenger Woodall faced was in 2010 against Jody Hice. But, as you know, Hice just ran in Paul Broun’s 10th and successfully won, so recruiting him is out. Getting a potential challenger against Woodall is going to have to occur as early as now for 2016. Woodall will be well-funded and getting a similarly well-funded challenger will be paramount.
