I hope that helps!My daughter had a nomination from Saxby Chambliss...but I believe was appointed under our Congressman.....She knows of another girl that had a nomination from Mr Chambliss as well...but received her appointment from her Congressman. I believe that another person on this forum mentioned a nom from Mr Chambliss as well...but got the call from their Congressman. SO- of the ten nominations that he gave out, I believe you can cross at least 3 off that list.

Until my DD got the call, I was working all kinds of mathematical strategies out on how this could work...i do know that he had 10 noms and I think 4 alternates SO...with 3 gone...looks like you are competing with 6 others...I think you are confused about how the nomination and appointment system works. Senator Chambliss most likely picked one person as his principal nomination and 9 other alternates. The principal nominee, if triple qualified, automatically receives an appointment. The 9 other alternates, if triple qualified and have a certain WCS, are automatically placed on a national waiting list. This national waiting list is where most of the people receive their appointments. It does not matter one bit if someone from the 9 other alternates receive an appointment because its possible for all 9 of them to receive appointments. I hope that clears things up. I'm also from Georgia and waiting on appointment. I received a nomination from Isakson though. My congressman elected not to nominate me because I already had a nomination. I am kind of confused on that process because I hear that having two nominations definitely helps towards getting an appointment.
Most congressmen actually do nominate the same candidates. There are only a handful that don't. District 3 Westmoreland is one who doesn't. I actually know for a fact that Isakson does use the principal nomination method because Isakson's principal nominee goes to my school haha

EDIT: Ah, ok. I read too fast. It could be that most in our state do talk and don't nominate the same candidates. I was under the impression that most do from this site. I know at least some do because some of the people in this very thread received two nominations from Georgia MOCs.
