The vote remained open for more than an hour, as aides scrambled to find Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., who has been away after two back operations, and to summon the vice president. Isakson, who had been cleared by doctors to travel for a single day, came slowly into the chamber on his walker, flanked by Senate pages, to turn his thumb to the sky with an “aye,” making the vote a tie.

God bless Johnny Isakson.

When Isaackson announced for re-election many people speculated he would not make it 6 years...maybe not 2 years.

Will Gov Deal arrange to be appointed to a vacancy? Or will one of the contenders for Governor to replace Deal be part of a “Deal”? Senate for you, Governor for me! and ice out the 3rd and 4th contenders from a move up the ladder?
