Not much of a surprise but I'm glad he finally cross over.

[cold_dead_fingers]

No surprise, but still good news. Also, concerning the DUers, who cares? This will carry a lot of weight with moderates and swing voters. I'm happy.

[goldstategop]

Great! Zell Miller's endorsement speaks volumes about what he thinks about the Democratic Party and its Dwarfs. They may be running but they ain't "presidential timber." Then again, Miller has always been to the right of much of his own party.

[Alberta's Child]

I realize that Miller is unique among Democrats, but I'm still a bit cynical about this -- for two reasons:

1. He's retiring, so this move doesn't "cost" him anything.

2. He's just written a book, and he knows exactly which party has more people who are intelligent and literate enough to read it.

[Alberta's Child]

Zell Miller bump.

[finnman69]

The DUmmies are burning Zell in effigy here.

[finnman69]

You can write Zell and or call his office to thank him! While you are at it, call Daschle to make fun of him.

Wow! Hehehe!

Zell Miller really is not a far right wing Conservative. Miller earned a 54% rating from the ACU which is high for a Democrat, but not horribly conservative. I'd say the Dems are in trouble if they're losing Zell Miller. If Bush sweeps the South again (minus West Virginia), then he'll win easy.

[TheRedSoxWinThePennant]

zell miller has more balls than half of the repubs in the senate.

[wny]

Here we have, developing before our very eyes, another example of the bias of the media. Imagine if you will, if John McCain crossed party lines and endorsed the dem nominee. The orgasmic reaction of the networks, the NY Times, LA Times, CNN etc...................It would lead every broadcast for days on end. Front pages everywhere. The Sunday talk shows would mention nothing else. McCain would be invited on ALL the shows and served up softballs with which to rip Bush. Does anyone really believe this wouldn't happen? Anyone care to bet Miller's remarks are virtually ignored?

[Chunga]

This is astonishing. Zell is a Party man through and through.

Perhaps, by swinging this far to the right, he's attempting to save his Senate seat for a fellow Democrat in a state finally free of more than a century of Democrat control.

[nickcarraway]

This is a change for Miller. Not that he would agree with Bush, but so far he has tried to remain ``loyal'' to his party, even if they didn't agree with him.

[ALOHA RONNIE]

Finally...

a DEMOCRAT Patriot...

in -Time of War-..!!!

[Right_in_Virginia]

Zell Miller is a brave soul. And, his support will be a real help in holding together the "Reagan Democrats" in the South through the 2004 election.

Thank you, Senator.

[solo gringo]

A good Senator with sound ideas.I didn't think i would ever say this but this is a good democrat.

[nutmeg]

ping!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

[nutmeg]

FoxFan ping!

Sean Hannity interviews Zell Miller tonight on 'Hannity & Colmes'.. 9pm ET.

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.

[Political Junkie Too]

Would Zell Miller have been electable had he actually run for the Senate? He sounds like the kind of guy the Democrats would have skewered during the primaries.

-PJ

[BOBWADE]

I still wish he would stay in the senate and just switch parties. Perhaps we could trade Mcstain for Miller.
