Tom Baxter at Thurmond Press Conference

Let me say this: If he goes on to win the democratic nomination, Isakson is going to have hell on his hands. That raw emotion he displayed is something Isakson cannot duplicate on the trail. Isakson as you already know is going to run on the Obama-Pelosi-Reid mantra & is going to try to tie Thurmond to those individuals, which I will say is going to be very hard to do since Thurmond is not a washington politician & he (Isakson) is. Its an anti-incumbent environment & Isakson is not immune to the anti-spirit.
