Zell Miller releases ad throwing support to Michelle Nunn

[cal04]

Former Georgia Sen. and Gov. Zell Miller is shocking the political world once again by announcing that he will endorse Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Michelle Nunn after 10 years of endorsing high profile Georgia Republicans.

A new campaign ad released by one of Georgia’s most popular elected officials is sending shock waves throughout the political world.

Channel 2 political reporter Lori Geary obtained a copy of the ad that shows Miller throwing his support behind Nunn.

She's a bridge builder, not a bridge burner,” Miller said in the ad. “Michelle Nunn gives this ol' Georgian hope.”

He's still alive?

[LloydS of New London]

1. Atonement

For what he did in '04.

[RebelOne]

2. Just saw that on local news in Atlanta.

That was a real shocker.

[blkmusclmachine]

3. He's still alive?!?!

[BainsBane]

4. He probably has ties to the Nunn family

from when Sam Nunn was in the Senate.

[Robbins]

5. Oh My god

Actully endorsing a Democrat.Well at least now he will do something to back up his claim of being a Democrat.

[pinboy3niner]

6. Angling for coverage on Hardball so he can challenge Tweety to a duel again?

[smokey nj]

10. That's exactly what I thought of when I saw Zell's name. We're coming up on the 10th anniversary of

the challenge.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

7. Who let him out of the mental home?

Strategically, this probably good for her locally.

But, man, the shit you have to do to get elected. It takes a certain willingness to throw out your dignity to win as a deep southern Democrat.

[joeybee12]

8. Did a brain cell of his start working again? None were working the past several years...nt

[Cha]

9. That is a shocker.. but, will it actually help, Michelle Nunn? thank you, cal~

[CatWoman]

11. you know

when he completely explodes it will NOT be pretty

[winter is coming]

12. Is a recommendation from Miller "support" or an anvil? n/t

[Skidmore]

13. Someone best give the heads up to Chris Matthews that there has been a Zell sighting.

[merrily]

14. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

[Paladin]

15. That's nice, Mr. Miller. Now go back to screwing yourself. (nt)

[Hoyt]

16. Means Nunn is conservative enough for Miller. Unfortunately, that's what it takes for Dem to win

statewide in Georgia. Jason Carter ain't particularly liberal either. But, I'll vote for them over any of the vile Republicans who enjoy punishing poor folks.

[bmbmd]

17. i often wish

That Chris had taken Zell up on his little threat. The world would be a better place if Matthews had put down his mike, taken off his jacket, strolled across the auditorium to where that sanctimonious prick was bloviating and slapped him silly.

[Historic NY]

18. Holy Batshit Crazy, the Zombie is still alive...

must have found brains.

[LordGlenconner]

19. Wow that me laugh. Thanks.

[book_worm]

20. Good friend of Sam Nunn, who was a very conservative democrat

like Old Zell.

[Capt. Obvious]

21. Zell on Earth releases

SPITBALLS

[AtomicKitten]

22. he be crazy

He's endorsing a Blue Dog Democrat so ....

somewhere between meh and ugh.

[Glitterati]

23. Ole Zig Zag Zell, living up to his name.

this will HURT Michelle Nunn, not help her.

[betterdemsonly]

24. It means she's really conservative

which is why I am not thrilled about the new crop of Southern Democrats, and why it is sucky to have your employer transfer you to the South. They will obstruct from within instead of from the other party.

[wyldwolf]

27. no, it means she's the daughter of Sam Nunn.

Nunn and Miller are from the same generation of Georgia Democrats. Zell and Sam go way back.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

25. "one of Georgia’s most popular elected officials"

If zell is the best, I'd hate to see the worst!

[wyldwolf]

26. not nearly the best, but certainly one of the more popular

[wyldwolf]

28. I always meant to challenge him to duel.
