Just got a letter through newsmax from Zell endorsing Blackwell....
Dear NewsMax Reader:

Former Senator Zell Miller has an urgent letter for you.

Zell is strongly supporting Ken Blackwell for Governor in Ohio. Ohio may prove to be the most critical state for the 2008 presidential election – as it was in 2004. Already Democratic groups backed by billionaire George Soros are pouring millions into the Ohio race to stop Ken Blackwell.

We urge you to read Zell's letter and help Ken Blackwell.

Thank you.

Urgent Letter from Zell Miller

Dear Fellow American,

As you know, I defied my party leadership in 2004 and came out in support of President George W. Bush.

The reasons for this decision were many but in the end it came down to the fact that the next president would determine the kind of world my children and grandchildren would live in. Who should be America's leader?

The answer in my mind was clear, George W. Bush.

Ohio faces a similar choice today.

Who has the principles, courage and leadership necessary to be the next Governor of Ohio? The answer in my mind is clear- Ken Blackwell.

Ken is a decent and honest man. A man who knows what is right, who wants to accomplish great things for Ohio and who has the courage to stick to his principles.

Ken and I have a lot in common. He and I have often locked horns with our party leadership. Ken championed Ohio's marriage amendment last year in opposition to the Ohio Republican establishment.

Ken has always fought for lower taxes and often he was the only Republican to do so. When the chips are down and the pressure is on, you need someone you can trust to do what is right. Ken Blackwell is that man. Ken is my kind of Republican.

Ken Blackwell is a pro-life, pro-family, fiscal conservative. Ohio needs a leader it can trust. Ohio needs Ken Blackwell.

Will you help Ken Blackwell become the next Governor of Ohio? He needs your help today.

Ken is running a great campaign. He is ahead in all the polls and we need to make sure he stays there. Ken has the courage to stand for life, marriage and lower taxes; will you have the courage to stand with him?

Show your support by sending a contribution today - Go Here Now.

Sincerely,



Zell Miller

Message from Ken Blackwell

Dear Friend,

My friend Zell Miller wrote some very thoughtful and kind words about me. These words couldn't have come from anyone I admire more.

Last year, Zell Miller stood up against his party, John Kerry and the liberal Democratic establishment to stand with President Bush. That show of support took extraordinary courage.


Ken Blackwell
I truly admire him and follow in Zell's footsteps. I also stand strong on the issues that truly matter. I stand for the right to life and the protection of marriage between a husband and wife. I stand for less taxes and smaller government. And I stand solidly for governing by the core conservative values of which we share.

My thirty-year record is clear. I have never wavered or flip-flopped on the issues. I say what I believe and I do what I say. Like Zell Miller, I sometimes have to stand alone to hold up our core values.

Your support provides the resources I need to continue to stand up for our conservative values.

Please contribute whatever you can to help my campaign effort.

Go Here Now to Contribute

Thank you.



Ken Blackwell

1. I am truly sorry
that the former senator from my state feels that way. Zell Miller has turned to the dark side and will never again gain his sanity. I thought he had retired to a quiet nursing facility in North georgia.

2. Zellout
My biggest political regret is that I actually volunteered for Zellout's Senate campaign, in the special election after he was appointed to fill the rest of Paul Coverdell's term. Of course, he was actually a Democrat back then - rather than the DINO he became just a few years later.

And, it looks like he's still at it even though he's not in office any more, betraying those of us in Georgia who supported him.

4. Dear Zell,
Shove it up your America-hating, Benedict-Arnold, craven asshole, you spit-flinging Republican monkey.

Sincerely,
Arkana

6. So is this a federal campaign violation
Did Blackwell pay NewsMax for the use of their newslist?

If not, it could be a campaign finance violation.

Corporations cannot contribute to federal campaigns. In fact, if NewsMax provided the email forward to their list -- even an email list -- there are $$ involved.

7. Having Zell against us is a very good thing.
Just rent Indecision 2004 and look at the Democratic Convention DVD.
Zell looks totally batshit crazy. The Repukes might as well have Manson endorsing their platform.
