This isn't about him being a conservative southern democrat. We have plenty of those including John Breux from LA, and others from conservative states like Max Baucus of Montana, Evan Bayh of Indiana, Tom Daschle of South (or is it North?) Dakota, etc. I personally don't agree with many of their votes, and I'm not especially fond of their records, but I do not want them purged from the party. I also understand they have their own electoral concerns and demands. That's fine.
Zell Miller on the other hand, is a whole other issue. He has made it clear he wants no part of the party. He has endorsed the opposite party's candidate for president. I think if any GOP member made it clear they were voting for Kerry instead of Bush, they would be told to leave the party, or atleast be shunned.
We don't need him, and we really don't have a chance in GA anyways. It's solid red territory and Diebold country. Our party has limited resources, and a little dignity left. I say we use it elsewhere. I hope he doesn't show up at the convention, and if he wants to, I hope he's not allowed.
