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.
