This beats them all!! Zell Miller lines up behind Ralph Reed.

The AJC's Political Insider reports:

The Democrat who served longest in Georgia's No. 2 spot has lined up behind Republican Ralph Reed in the '06 race for lieutenant governor.

Former U.S. senator Zell Miller, who served 16 years as lieutenant governor, has also written Reed a hefty check, we're told.

On Monday, the Reed campaign announced that Miller and his Fox News sidekick Sean Hannity would appear at a June 17 fund-raiser in Cobb County.

Reed's GOP primary opponent is Casey Cagle of Gainesville. Cagle's people prefer Republicans remember Miller's endorsement of Max Cleland in 2002. "No race has ever been decided by celebrity endorsements," said Cagle spokesman Brad Alexander.

The timing of this endorsement is strange, very strange.

The Governor has gone all the way over to the dark side, I'm afraid. His ranting about the evil lobbyists ruining America in his last book rings a little hallow after the Reed endorsement.

Well put. This puts what he has said in the past in a very different setting.
