Grasso said the campaign is also in touch with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s office about a possible Georgia appearance.
“She wants to come down, but right now we are working with her schedulers to see if that’s possible,” Grasso said.
Chambliss is headed for a Dec. 2 runoff with Democratic challenger Jim Martin of Atlanta. Neither candidate got a majority of the vote in their Nov. 4 contest with Libertarian Allen Buckley.
A high-profile runoff between Chambliss and Martin will likely attract political bigwigs from both sides.
Martin’s campaign has already been in touch with President-elect Barack Obama about a possible Georgia appearance, but Obama had not confirmed an appearance as of Friday.
Even though Obama won the presidency, McCain led the vote tally in Georgia.
