DEL.ICIO.USThe latest non-endorsement news from Isakson, Chambliss
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Contrary to reports from CNN, U.S. Sens. Johnny Isakson and Saxby Chambliss didn’t endorse Republican presidential candidate John McCain, or anyone else, on Thursday.
The cable network had predicted the alliance, after several political blogs, included one by the Washington Post, had quoted U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a McCain ally, as saying he was in the midst of lobbying both Isakson and Chambliss.
On Thursday, a spokeswoman for Isakson said he’s made no decision, though he’s been contacted by all three top GOP candidates.
A spokeswoman for Chambliss was a bit more cryptic: “We have a lot of balls in the air — nothing to report right now,” she said in an e-mail.
Those who reported on Graham’s conversation on Wednesday also said the South Carolina senator had mentioned approaching Gov. Sonny Perdue. But a Perdue spokesman said flatly that the governor would be making no endorsements before Super Tuesday.
