ATLANTA - Georgia's representation in Washington could be different if the polls predicting a Democratic rout hold true.

Most observers point to two districts as possible GOP upsets, Rep. Sanford Bishop's 2nd District centered on Albany and Rep. Jim Marshall's 8th District centered on Macon. Other Georgia Democrats are facing serious challengers, including Rep. John Barrow of Savannah and Rep. Hank Johnson of Decatur, but they seem safer so far.
