Does this sound farfetched?

Maybe so, but I also think that George W. Bush is fast becoming the Republican

Jimmy Carter and thus will be a one-term President. Bush is already starting

to sound Carterlike in urging federal buildings in California to lower

their thermostats. If gasoline prices go up any more as they very well

may the public anger against President Bush will be so pervasive that

he won't have time to recover politically.

Bush, after all, has no ideas,

and doesn't anymore know what to do about the gas crisis than former President

Clinton would know about ethics or honesty. So I think we are looking

at a scary scenario for the next two years or so: Democratic arrogance

increasing; President Bush floundering; the nation stumbling through one

crisis after another and the Democrats in the Congress not giving any

support at all to Mr. Bush purely out of mean-spiritedness and rancor.

So in this type of environment,

if Zell Miller wants to switch, it will be fine with the Democrats; let

him and the Republicans stew in their own juices they'd better enjoy while

they can because it wont last long.

And this is too bad because

personally I like Zell Miller. He is honest, hard-working and really does

want what is best for Georgia. He is an excellent United States senator

and good man. His integrity sets him apart from his fellow Democrats.

So maybe Zell will switch parties;

if he asks my advice which he would never do I would suggest that he make

the switch because he has nothing to lose. He will still get reelected

because the good people of Georgia unlike the Democrats in United States

House and Senate know a good man when they see one. It will be the Democrats'

loss if Zell Miller changes parties, but maybe they don't care about that

and that is too bad. We need more men like Zell Miller in elective office,

not fewer.
