Lining up for 2010

You may think that 2010 is a long way off, but not everyone does.

Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga, is in the midst of a campaign kick-off swing through Georgia this week to announce his candidacy for reelection.

Isakson was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004. So far, Democrats aren’t exactly lining up in opposition to defeat Isakson, according to this report.

And in Alabama, Rep. Artur Davis’ official announcement that he’ll be running for governor in 2010 is creating a stir among possible contenders for his congressional seat.

Here’s video from Jefferson County Commissioner Sheila Smoot talking about how she’s considering running for the seat and is forming an exploratory committee.
