There hasn't been a Zell Miller in the D party since...Zell Miller. And likely won't be another like him in our lifetimes.
Frankly, I'm happy to see open and proud communists unseat establishment Democrats. It's pretty hard for the rest of the party to deny what the party has become. I just wish they'd call themselves what they really are instead of socialists. If you're a commie, be proud of it and let everyone know.
