Thanks for the link.
You haven't heard much about Democratic candidates for the U.S. Senate in '04 to replace Zell Miller, who will be retiring. But still waters run deep. A summit meeting is in the offing, to determine which of two black conservatives will take a stab at the office: state Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond or Attorney General Thurbert Baker. The thinking is that there is no sense in risking the careers of both state constitutional officers.

Other possiblities for RATS could be Maynard Jackson /Cleland or Ex Sec state
