Barrow's bipartisan work seems to be mostly on the side of the Republicans. It does not look like he was able to get Republicans to help him with bills that Democrats need passed. Note that none of the bills that Barrow sponsored got any Republican support. As a matter of fact, none of them in four years were enacted as law.

Blue Dog Rep. John Barrow of Georgia has been one of the most enthusiastic enablers of the radical and lawless policies of the Bush administration. When running for re-election, he ran ads accusing his own party of wanting to "cut and run in Iraq," and was one of the 21 Blue Dogs to send a letter to Nancy Pelosi demanding that they be allowed to vote for the Rockefeller/Cheney Senate bill to give warrantless eavesdropping powers to the President and amnesty to lawbreaking telecoms.
