Zell Miller is the only Democrat who could potentially beat Bush in Georgia in 2004. Ditto for John Breaux in LA.

The Democrats have to find a Pres/VP ticket that can flip 18 or more electoral votes from Bush's 2000 states in order to win in 2004.

So until their ticket has been selected and entered into the FEC register permanently, lets be careful just who we throw accolades to.

Because if the Democrats suddenly get clever on us, Breaux or Miller will be their VP pick in 2004, and suddenly the whole election becomes "in play" if Bush can't guarantee his same 2000 base states again in 2004.

Not that I'm expecting the Dems to get clever, mind you, but the lock that we have on winning in 2004 would be much less of a sure thing if Zell Miller or John Breaux got picked to be VP, and there hasn't been nearly enough feel-good, self-righteous mud thrown at those two by the leftist press to satisfy me that they aren't being considered right now.

Breaux will be a formidable Veep choice...much better than the Florida Graham bet...

Miller probably will be out of consideration..

I heard someone throw out Sam Nunn or John Lewis from Georgia as a potential play...

My bet is still a Dean-Clark or Dean-Gephardt or Clark-Gephardt kind of ticket...

Zell has already stated that he's voting for Bush for President in '04.

***Zell Miller or John Breaux got picked to be VP***

As you say, hack, 'Only if the RAT party comes to its' senses'.

The 'toons, with McAwful in charge, are still running their own show. They just didn't expect Howie-the-Horrible to muck-up their plans.

Giulianni has all but announced his intention to go for the Senate seat in 2006, and will win, thus ending Hildabeastes' political career, so she has to run as VP in 2004, resigning the Senate, then losing the 2004 race (It's not her fault), and stay viable for the top-spot in 2008.

Clark has to be the RAT candidate for pres so he can pick her for VP. Arkancide may occur anyplace. It's happenned before...........FRegards

I agree with your premise that Zell could give Bush a run for his money due to his conservative slant and being from the South.

There is one more Democrat that though that I believe would give Bush a run for his money and thank God that he isn't running, Harold Ford Jr. from Tennessee.

If you've ever heard him speak, he is polished and presents himself as center as you can get. If the Democrats ever figure that out watch for him to spring to the forefront. They almost got him to the forefront when he gave Pelosi a run for her money for minority leader in the House.

I agree with what you are saying. I, too, like a lot of what Zell has said on TV, etc. But did he not earn the nickname of 'Zig Zag Zell'? The dims potential for distruction and lies MUST NEVER BE FORGOTTON!
