Price for Senate?

Tom Price may be considering a run for the Senate in 2010:

Assuming Price is re-elected in 2008, pressure on him to run for the Republican nomination for Senate in 2010 if Isakson runs for Governor will be enormous. North Fulton County officials will want to have the same clout and access they now have with Isakson, an area resident, with any new Georgia Senator.

Price, a longtime Roswell resident, fits the bill.

When quizzed about a Senate run, his closest aides say he will most likely get in the race. One senior Price operative said, “We are looking at it. We are evaluating it. I will say this: If we get in, we’ll win.”

Price himself was diplomatic when asked about the 2010 race, saying only, “I would certainly review all of our options if that scenario played out.” He did not deny interest.

This is all based on the assumption that Johnny Isakson runs for Governor, which seems to be almost a certainty at this point.
