So does Zell Miller really go to Boston for the convention?
Is he still invited? Whats up? Will he vote "present" or will he cast his support for Bush?

1. If he goes as a delegate he should not be seated
The Dems would be justified in not seating him as he has declared his support for *. Geve his seat to someone more deserving. Shouldn't be hard to meet that requirement.

2. This Zell Miller thing is really indicative of the problem with our party.


The Repubs would find a way to get rid of him.

4. Since he supports Bush and will campaign for him,
I really doubt that he will show up at the Democratic Convention. He's a parasite within the Dem party. He should have been gone a LONG time ago.

5. Every person who comes before him should be given a tomato
and when he enters they know what to do.

6. Why should Zell even be admitted?
Shouldn't this only be allowed for those who voted in the Presidential Primaries, and could only dream of the opportunity to attend a National Convention as a delegate?

Instead...Zell Miller shall attend in another loyal Democrat's place, providing Fox and CNN with all the negative running commentary they could dream of!

7. Can he be stripped of his superdelegate status?
I know that his sorry as can't be kicked out of the party (although he richly deserves it), but can this be revoked?
As a Georgian, I despise the motherfucker.

8. That's a good question
my guess is probably not, at least as long as he's allowed to caucus with Senate Democrats. The last seating fight I'm aware of was back in 1964, in Atlantic City. Mississippi sent two competing delegations to the convention, one all-white and the other integrated, and there was a big hullabaloo before the Credentials Committee and Lyndon Johnson had to come in to try to work out a compromise. The officially sanctioned all-white delegation was seated, but the case made national news and stirred much outrage.

12. Look, I dislike Lieberman as much as the next guy
but compared to Zell Miller he's Robert Francis Kennedy.

13. I don't think we will really have a problem with Zell
He wouldn't DARE show his face! It would get wiped off.
But since he is TWO faced...I guess he can afford to go.

14. Zell didn't use to be like he is today...
...back in the early 90's when he got elected GA Governor (before Barnes appointed him to the senate in 1999) he was a moderate populist FDR Democrat...then he got to congress and...well...he went crazy...

And for those who say that Lieberman and Bayh and even Breaux are just like him...I'll be sugsinked...SHUT THE HELL UP...you want to boot Bayh and Lieberman out of the party then JFK (not Kerry, Kennedy) should have been booted out of the party so should Clinton and Gore... we are one party... Miller is an odd ball and tough action should have been taken against him but it was not... but ignoring him we are one party and should accept every one one from moderates such as Bayh and Lieberman to liberal such as Wellstone, Feingold and Kennedy...

I agree Miller has some damage to the party and yeah he should have been repremanded...but don't smear all moderates with his brush...I am a moderate and i will always fight for my party...but it would help if some of the left wingers on this board started to be a little more tolerant of other political belifes...

16. This is Democratic Underground....
NOT "Moderate" Democratic Underground. We come in all stripes. I really hate being told to SHUT THE HELL UP. It reminds me of Bush and Asscroft telling me to watch what I say or the Secret Service will pay me a visit. Miller, Bayh, Breaux and Lieberman are the reason our party is where it is. It's people like them who helped us lose the midterm 2002 elections. Please. We don't need the likes of Zell Miller in our party. He's a traitor. JMCPO


Signed,
A PROUD LEFT WINGER
