Zell Miller To Lead Coalition of the Willing Democrats For Rick Santorum

Give 'em hell Zell bravely goes where RNC funding fears to tread.

Former Sen. Zell Miller, a Georgia Democrat who supported President Bush in 2004, will head a new group of Democrats supporting Pennsylvania GOP Sen. Rick Santorum's reelection bid.

"I am not involved in any other race in the country," Miller said during a radio interview Monday, according to a news release from Santorum's campaign. "I am only doing this for Rick Santorum. I believe in Rick Santorum's leadership that much."

Opponent Bob Casey, Jr., refused comment, part of his "No Talk Express" campaign strategy of not saying anything about anything at all. Other Democratic candidates praised Casey's wise decision, noting that if only they had made the savvy decision to be related to a well-regarded polician, they could get away with saying even less than they're saying now.

Hillary's 2000 "Listening Tour" is cited as an the inspiration for Silent Casey's innovative politicking, avoiding going negative, avoiding going postitive, avoiding going audible whatsoever. Though, Democrats admit, Hillary's model was flawed in at least one respect: "What's the point of 'listening,' anyway?" one Democratic strategist said. "These are a bunch of racist homophbic cretins. What the hell do they know about how they'd like to be governed?"
