ARLINGTON, VA -- Democrats for Bush Chairman Senator Zell Miller (D-GA) announced today that Democrats for Bush now has over 400 Leadership Team Members and 3,000 Grassroots Supporters. The Leadership Team includes 75 current or former Democrat elected officials - a diverse group united by their support for President Bush's agenda of making our economy stronger and our nation more secure. The Democrats for Bush Leadership Team is talking with Democrats across America about how the President's historic tax cuts and pro-growth policies are benefiting families, seniors and small businesses. "We each have our own reasons for rallying behind the President--whether it is the leadership he has provided in the War on Terror, reducing the tax burden for families and businesses, or standing firm to strengthen American families. We are all Democrats and we all agree these times demand a President that provides steady, consistent leadership in changing and challenging times and that man is President George W. Bush," said Senator Miller. Mayor George M. McKelvey (D-Youngstown, OH), who has also endorsed the President, "My first priority is not partisanship, but is the well-being of Youngstown and the nation.

Zell Miller ROCKS!!!
I read his book and I bet you a dollar to a donut the Old Media stations wont carry his speech at the convention. He is too powerful a voice for the networks to allow the undecideds to hear.
Lots of 'Former's
I hope to see them represented at the convention!
YESSSS! There really are still some clear-thinking dems out there. PTL!
Wow!
... and growing..
A couple of current ones too, like the mayors of Ft Lauderdale and Miami
ping
BTTT
i just bought it along with UNFIT FOR COMMAND
He is great ... the last man standing from the glory days of the Democrat Party in the South. I think he even worked for Governor Maddox!
Zell's loyalty to the party is amazing, especially considering that great men like Lott and Thurmond long ago held their noses and defected the party of Lincoln. He is the last man standing, evidence of a bygone era, but still crucially relevant to today!
