Zell
Quite a speech from the "Democrat" from Georgia at the Republican Convention, but a rather disingenuous one. The speech was well done and inflammatory. He ripped Kerry a new one, but the problem is that 18 months ago he was all fire and brimstone and all for the other side. He spoke supportively of Kerry at the time and in fact 12 years ago he even introduced some guy named Bill Clinton at a Convention at Madison Square Garden. Even so, my problem isn't that Zell Miller switched allegiances, but rather that he hasn't.
He's representing himself tonight as a Democrat for Bush, but he's not. He's a Republican. He votes with them, he's not welcome at any of the Democratic events and he's pretty much announced a switch, but hasn't done it yet. Clearly he remained a Democrat for the attention it would receive at the Convention and it will work, but it's wrong.
