DEL.ICIO.USIsakson gives Coleman $10k for his legal fight
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Don’t look for it to show up on Federal Election Commission reports for a while, but there’s word that U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson has forked over $10,000 from his 21st Majority Fund toward Norm Coleman’s legal battle to keep his Minnesota seat.
Isakson spokeswoman Joan Kirchner confirmed the gift from Isakson’s political action committee. “He just wanted to show support for Senator Coleman. There are still some pretty valuable issues to be addressed,” she said.
As we understand it, Georgia’s other senator, Saxby Chambliss, has not donated to Coleman’s defense fund — and won’t. Because of his position on the Senate Rules Committee, Chambliss could find himself helping to decide who becomes Minnesota’s junior senator — sometime this century.
