THe irony is that Zell was replaced by Paul Coverdale who died in 2000. After the defection of Jim Jeffords, it tilted the Senate. You know the Democrats were giddy when Senator Coverdale died, but I am sure it is a different story today.
Wow, I didn't know that. Jumping Jim gave us Zell?
I watched his speech last night and was amazed with his delivery and conviction and choice of words. Also the fact the he seemed to have memorized it or just knew it from the heart.
It was a speech to remember, wish I had taped it. He shredded Kerry and definitely brought some votes to us. He also gave Kerry voters a guilty conscience, provided they have one and watched the speech.
