Mike Bowers & Zell Miller in the early going line up behind different GOP candidates for lieutenant governor.

The press has missed a headline with regard to an important event, but have no fear; we'll read something about it from Baxter & Galloway and Bill Shipp in the near future.

On Friday I posted the following:

I understand that Mike Bowers, Georgia’s former Attorney General, has endorsed Casey Cagle and did so surrounded by all the metro sheriffs who are also Republican (Cobb, Gwinnett, Hall, Forsyth, Cherokee, Dawson and Douglas).

In writing up Zell Miller and radio and TV talk-show host Sean Hannity being at the Cobb Galleria to boost Ralph Reed, the Saturday issue of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution article covering the story noted the following:
The event — part fund-raiser, part celebration of Republican victories in Georgia and nationally — took place several hours after Cagle quietly announced the endorsements of seven Georgia sheriffs and former Attorney General Mike Bowers. Reed, though, was able to draw a crowd by appearing with two conservative icons: Miller and radio and TV talk-show host Sean Hannity.

But folks, Mike Bowers endorsing Casey Cagel is a story in and of itself, just as is Mike Bowers and Zell Miller having different horses in the race for lieutenant governor's race.

At one time they, along with former Department of Transportation Commissioner Tom Moreland, were always together, often times being on the opposite side of former Speaker Tom Murphy.

This is a story for others to tell, and I am sure it will be sooner rather than later. But know this. Bowers coming out for Cagel -- especially in light of Miler being with the other man -- is a story in and of itself, and is very significant within the ranks of the GOP and in this race.
