Zell for Sale? -- You've got to know when to hold 'em; you've got to know when to fold 'em. -- Zell and the Same-Sex Marriage Issue
The 9-3-04 PI reports that Sen. Miller "is sending out signals that he's ready to step into the gay marriage debate. In Georgia."
"On Monday in New York, during a panel discussion of conservative authors, Miller said this: 'There are some social issues out there that still need to be addressed -- in particular, same-sex marriage. What we saw in the state of Missouri is out there in many, many states.' Especially in Georgia, he said."
"Even before Miller spoke, Gov. Sonny Perdue declared that [Miller's keynote] speech could tip the balance in the Republican fight to seal its grip on the state Legislature."
The headline for the PI piece -- "Now that he's done his job for Bush, Miller may prove to be the link between gay marriage and a Republican takeover of the state Legislature."
The column notes that if Miller decides to take a "starring role" in the gay marriage debate, "it wouldn't take more than a couple appearances by Miller to allow local Republicans to hitch their star to his wagon," that is, benefit from Miller's appearance in what would be coattailing if Miller were a candidate.
Will Sen. Miller continue to speak out on the same-sex marriage issue? Yes. Will he come to Georgia to do so? I am going to go against the current on this one and predict no, no he won't.
Yesterday I had a post entitled "Dear GOP: Be careful of what you ask Sen. Daschle for. You might get it. As the drunk on the Titanic said, I asked for ice, but . . ."
The post concerns Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle going overboard in his latest TV campaign ad showing himself and President Bush embracing on the House floor the day Bush addressed Congress after the Sept. 11 attacks.
The post concludes -- "Does Daschle have no pride?"
In his keynote speech Wednesday night Sen. Miller said "my family is more important than my party," and that was the "clear answer" to the question of what placed him in Madison Square Garden at the GOP convention to endorse President Bush.
If the Senator comes to Georgia, it could appear that he has gone beyond looking out for the future of his grandchildren, and that now that Zell is for sale. The successful bidder -- Sadie Fields and the Christian Coalition.
I don't think it will happen.
