Do you disagree that he'd never be there in the first place - (voting democratic for committee seats) if not appointed (by Barnes) to replace a republican?

Sure, he ran in the special election in 2000 - as an incumbent democrat. Not as a retired governor. Not as a incumbent, and NOT against a very popular republican.

First the republican party has pulled this same stunt. Second. You answered your own statement.

Not as a incumbent, and NOT against a very popular republican.

Perhaps if the Republican Party had actually tried to present a respectable canidate, I may have voted differently.

By the way, until the 2000 election, I had NOT seen even ONE advertisment support from ANY canidate for Senator for my district.

Zell Miller, from what I understand, was the ONLY Senate Democrat Canidate in 2000 to be endorsed by the NRA, also the republican canidate opposing him was NOT endorsed by the NRA.

The Republican Party's LACK of effort, pactically HANDED Zell Miller the election.
