Georgia GOP abuzz about Senate vacancy

Georgia GOP abuzz about Senate vacancy-thehill: Sen. Johnny Isakson’s (R-GA) decision to resign at the end of the year set off a furious behind-the-scenes scramble among Georgia Republicans vying to curry favor with Gov. Brian Kemp (R), who will choose his replacement. Isakson kept his decision private from all but his closest advisers, sources with knowledge of his decision said. Some aides and allies, including Kemp, were told he would quit just hours before the announcement went out.
