As a Georgian I'm not totally sure I would agree concerning Barnes after he sold out so many of his conservative Democrat supporters with his "smoke-filled room" midnight deal with the Reeeeverend Jackson, but I would take old Zig-Zag Zell over any likely Repub who is now running except Hunter or Gingrich. Yeah I know the Newtster is currently "undecided", but you can put money on it, he's running.

Barnes seriously thought about being a Veep in 2004. He needed to statisfy the moonbats in order to be in the running for consideration. Fortunately, Sonny Perdue defeated him in the biggest political upsets in GA history. Interestingly though, Barnes did receive NRA endorsements in 1998 and 2002.
