Barr considering another run for Congress

By
WASHINGTON - Former Congressman Bob Barr is angling for a possible return to the House and could announce his intentions soon. <br> <br> Barr was defeated by fellow Republican Representative John Linder in last year&#39;s GOP primary. Now, he is eyeing the Sixth District seat being vacated in 2004 by Johnny Isakson, who is running for Senate. <br> <br> Barr says he hasn&#39;t ruled out a Senate run. But an attempted revival of his House career appears more likely. The Sixth District includes little of the same territory Barr represented for eight years in another suburban Atlanta district. But it is solidly Republican. Former Speaker Newt Gingrich was the district&#39;s congressman before Isakson. <br> <br> Barr gained national attention as the first lawmaker to call for President Clinton&#39;s resignation over the Monica Lewinski scandal. He was also one of the House prosecutors who made the case that the Senate should expel Clinton.
