Now, I must admit that I voted for Saxby Chambliss over Zell Miller in 2000, mainly because Zell has that little 'D' after his name. But still, having Zell as your Senator was still better than having someone like Daschle or Clinton.

I hate to see Zell go. He was by far my favorite Democrat, and I have nothing but respect for the man.

I wonder who the Dems will get to replace him. Probably Max Cleland if he's interested. It'd be a hoot to see Cynthia McKinney or former Atlanta Mayor Bill Campbell run. (assuming Campbell isn't in jail)

On the Republican side, Bob Barr might step up and run for the nomination. He recently got squeezed out of the House due to redistricting and his short sighted attempt to take away fellow Republican John Linder's seat.
