This is shocking news and has to put both Romney and Rudy in better position and quite frankly means the door is still open even if it is just a little bit for a candidacy of a dark horse.

Looks like we might have another Georgia GOP primary fight on our hands in 2010.

Don’t be surprised in four years if a couple significant Georgia Republicans attempt to switch roles. In 2010, Gov. Sonny Perdue (R) will be term-limited and could very well seek an open U.S. Senate seat, vacated by Sen. Johnny Isakson (R), who would run for governor, according to one GOP insider familiar with the situation.

The scenario certainly isn’t far-fetched. Even though Isakson is only in his first term in the Senate, the governorship has been in his sights for years, going back to 1990 when he lost to Zell Miller (D) 53%-46%. And Perdue has a decade’s worth of experience as a legislator in the Georgia state senate, including a stint as president pro tempore. According to the GOP source, both men would likely endorse the other in the maneuver as well.

Senator Isackson has voted as a conservative in his short time in the Senate, but he is no conservative. Governor Perdue is also being mentioned as a possible VP candidate in ‘08.

Cross thief hits Georgia Tech

Georgia Tech police are investigating who took down 48 white crosses that were part of a pro-life display on campus this week.

Tech’s College Republicans set up the cross grave markers Monday on a lawn as part of a “Cemetery of the Innocent” display to mark the 34th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade decision legalizing abortion.

Organizers say the crosses represent each of the 48 million unborn babies killed by abortion since 1973 and they put up signs explaining their significance.

How many GT alums / Georgia folks do we have on this blog and I am the first one to post anything… wow.
