Zell Miller credits the Marine Corps for turning his life around as a young man. He had dropped out of Emory University and landed in the drunk tank for a night in 1953 when he decided to sign up for a three-year enlistment in the Marines. Miller did his 12-week boot camp at Parris Island, SC, followed by time at Naval Training Station in Great Lakes, IL and the 2nd Marine Division at Camp Lejeune, NC. By the end of the three years, he had earned the rank of sergeant and was an Expert Rifleman. Miller went on to become a history professor, mayor of his hometown of Young Harris, Georgia, a state senator, lieutenant governor for 16 years, governor for eight years and now, a U.S. senator.

This convention is something out of this world! I have NEVER seen its like;not EVER! :-)

And now Cheney is knocking it out of the ball park...calmly and with hard,cold FACTS!

[Kozak]

He's got every right to BE ANGRY. he's been betrayed by a party he served all his life. I'd be furious.

[MEG33]

Cheney bump!

[Dolphy]

You don't give a speech like that with a smile. He could have slowed down a little but I have no complaint with his delivery. He was angry, he knows what's at risk.

[cyncooper]

He won't be! He'll be great.

[AFPhys]

Back to true seriousness. talking about hte record, and the President's response to terrorism...

The Demodogs have NO CHANCE at all with anybody who has had the fortune to look at this night of speeches...

McCain sat on NBC national broadcast and even as the cheers were still echoing for Zell Miller's great speech, McCain not only criticized Miller but also claimed that Kerry is 'qualified' to be Commander in Chief.

Too thin to be Moore in his house dress

[Diddle E. Squat]

Oh, so the protester was why Cheney had the awkward very long pause with the neverending fairly weak "4 more years" chant?

[Gunder]

"I love what he said, I think he could have done it without looking so angry."

I disagree totally. Zell is ALLOWED to get angry and fired up. He can do what Cheney can't, because he needs to be more "Vice Presidential." It was a powerful speech. I'm still shaking.

[wardaddy]

Pure providence.

[Howlin]

Oh, great picture.

[CurlyBill]

I just sent him a thank you note. We all should.
Please take the time to do so.

Done!!!

[max_rpf]

Apparently Brokaw got McCain to agree the Zell questionned his pal Kerry's patriotism or so some have said on this thread.

Good -- I don't think there was a question about Zell questioning Kerry's patriotism... I think that was his point.

[afropick]

But Zell Miller is middle america.

[God'sgrrl]

Reagan,Bush,Cheney, and Zell Miller do not care about angering the opposition! They choose to do the right thing!!! McCain/Kerry are flip flopping liars!!!

[Jaded]

The better looking half of the ambiguously gay duo has been mia of late. Hiding.

[HarryCaul]

Cheney seems to almost smirk at the thought Edwards is his "opponent", as well he should.

BTTT
