Zell Miller has set himself up for the most drastic action the Democrats are capable of mounting against one of their own - shunning. Sen. Miller had better make sure that no possibility exists that a criminal indictment against him could be brought on even the flimsiest of grounds. Look what happened to Jim Traficant. And Traficant wasn't trying to espouse an even vaguely conservative line. He just DISAGREED with some of the power Democrats in the House.

It is a tight union, and discipline is firm. Insurrections will not be tolerated. Josef Stalin would envy the control exerted by today's Democrats.

I agree with you as far as it goes. Another huge problem is the atrophied balls that may or may not be attached to the Republicans in the senate. They have their problems with the N.E. liberal twit alleged Republicans like Snowe and Chaffee, but they are still in positions of power, and they have really let us down over and over again. Everyone of them should have be out grabbing face time on the judicial nominees. The withdrawal of Estrada is shameful.

Polictics aside, Zell Miller is a good man. The majority of us in Georgia who disagree with his politics, respect him ("Zig-Zag Zell" notwithstanding).

The majority of Democrats in Georgia believe he would be next in line to walk on water.

If the democratic leadership decided to go after him, they would be hard pressed to find an ethics or criminal issue on which to build/fabricate a case. Any attempt would be seen for what it was and would end up biting them in the butt. Big Time.

Being from Georgia, it would be easy for the dems to pull out the old, tired race card, but that would also backfire.

To borrow from President Bush, I say "bring it on." There is more to Georgia than Atlanta and the liberal Atlanta democrats (i.e. Cynthia McKinney & crowd) do not represent the mainstream Georgia Democrats.

Actually, he'd be flattered instead, because the Dims are employing Stalinist practices at every turn. They learned well at the knee of their master.

There is not a hint of shadyness about Miller that I know of. We can't say the same about Traficant.
