News Alert: Democrat Senator Zell Miller to Endorse
President Bush
Fred Barnes
reports that Democrat Senator Zell Miller of Georgia has decided to endorse
President Bush, calling him "the right man at the right time" for
America:
The
next five years "will determine the kind of world my children and
grandchildren will live in," Miller said in an interview. And he wouldn't
"trust" any of the nine Democratic presidential candidates with governing
during "that crucial period," he said. "This Democrat will vote for
President Bush in 2004."
Miller, who is
retiring from the Senate next year, has often expressed his admiration for
Bush. He was a co-sponsor of the president's tax cuts in 2001 and 2003. The
two got to know each other in the 1990s when both were governors.
The senator's
endorsement is important for several reasons. With Miller on board, Bush
will have a head start on forming a Democrats for Bush group in 2004. Such a
group would woo crossover votes from conservative or otherwise disgruntled
Democrats next year. ...
Since he came to
the Senate in 2000, Miller has become increasingly critical of Senate
Democrats and the national Democratic party. He recently published a new
book, "A National Party No More: The Conscience of a Conservative Democrat,"
in which he criticizes the party for being too liberal, too elitist, and
subservient to liberal interest groups.
