This is the second of three exclusive excerpts from Sen. Zell Miller's new book, "A National Party No More: The Conscience of a Conservative Democrat" (Stroud & Hall, Atlanta).The Georgia Democrat, governor from 1991 to 1999, won a special election after the death of Sen. Paul Coverdell, a Republican, in 2000.

I love Zell Miller. One has to respect that he is so conservative, he is still a democrat.

Northerners need not apply.

John Kerry, the new century's Abraham Lincoln, posing for Vogue in an electric-blue wet suit with a surfboard tucked up under his arm like a rail just split. It made me wonder, are there more surfboards or shotguns in America?

Someone on Kerry's staff must have read this. Last weekend he posed pheasant hunting with a shotgun and talked about how he's been hunting since he was a kid.

Don't miss the point, here.

Some of you "doom and gloom", nuke Iraq or get out, Sunshine Patriots need to listen to a guy like Zell Miller. You might come away with a little of the backbone and resolve our soldiers have.

Excellent read - I love his illustrative language and frank observations of DC politics.
