		In 2004, Collins was an unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination for the Georgia Senate seat left vacant by the retirement of Democratic Senator Zell Miller, which went to Johnny Isakson.
		Collins is featured in Congress at the Grassroots, a non-fiction account of representational change in the south authored by political science Professor Richard F. Fenno of the University of Rochester.

		Collins also has had help from groups such as the National Republican Congressional Committee and a California group called the Economic Freedom Fund, which is backed by the Texas homebuilder who spearheaded the Swift Boat attacks on Democratic Sen. John Kerry during the 2004 presidential election.

		With the campaign in its last 10 days, he is dead last in fund-raising among the three GOP candidates for the seat of retiring Sen. Zell Miller, and until his TV ads began airing this weekend, he had forfeited that medium to rivals Johnny Isakson and Herman Cain.
		Early on, the race looked to be a contest between two incumbent congressman -- Collins, who has been in Washington since 1992, and Isakson, who won a special election in 1999 to replace Newt Gingrich and who had run two statewide races before.
		With the race now winding down, Isakson leads in fund-raising, Cain is second and Collins is third, and some think that's the way the race will end, with the only question whether Isakson and Cain will meet in a runoff.

		Marshall’s near-certain Republican opponent is former Republican Rep. Mac Collins (1993-2005), who is looking to rejoin Congress after he surrendered his House seat in 2004 to pursue a Senate campaign that failed in the GOP primary.
