Before a cheering crowd of Dylan Glenn supporters, former Speaker of the

House Newt Gingrich said Senator Zell Miller was also watching the Eighth

District Congressional Republican race closely.

Gingrich, who had earlier endorsed Glenn in his race against Lynn Westmoreland,

appeared Thursday night at the Wyndham Peachtree Conference Center in Peachtree

City.

Gingrich said Miller was disturbed by some of the commercials he had seen

recently for the race.

"Miller said voters should make their decision on facts and not attacks," Gingrich

said.

The last week before the runoff has seen some big politicos endorse Glenn.

Earlier, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Jack Kemp had

thrown his support to Glenn's corner.

"I've not gotten involved in many races, but every now and then

you see somebody who has the tenacity to change the world," Gingrich

said.

The former Speaker said this race was all about the future for the district's

children and grandchildren and urged residents to get out and vote Tuesday.

Gingrich was also amused that many of the Atlanta media questioned why he

was getting involved in this race.

"I was born in this district and the formation of the Republican Party

was born in this district," he said.
