IMHO the Zell Miller speech awakened people, especially women, to the stark truth that without national security all the other usual 'security' items, daycare, medical, education, etc. were moot subjects.
Very true.
Zell cuts across so many lines - elderly, democrat, republican, independent, southern, women, men, rich, poor......
He's humble and honest and it shows.
Point to Zell when someone says "politicians are all alike."
I still have that speech on my HD. I will listen to it. I burned 5 CDs and gave them away to friends who couldn't listen to it live. Zell will wake me up this morning:)
