I don't know if he'd win.  His reputation in Georgia may have been damaged by Chambliss' smear campaign (the worst of bad taste).  However, he most certainly is not crazy and is a very honorable human being.  Where was the draft-dodging Saxby Chambliss when Max was losing three limbs?  Remember folks, they like to think of themselves as the Party of morals.

I'd like to see Barnes run against Chambliss for Senate.

Ditto... what is Barnes up to these days?

He's working in a legal aid group in Atlanta.  Seems like he got in a mess of trouble for tampering with the Georgia state flag when he was governor.  Guess that was another reason he lost his race to Perdue.

I doubt Cleland would run for Lt Gov.  Lt Gov is a position much lower in status than US Senator.  It would be like a Governor running for City Council.

Hey, former Virginia Gov. Doug Wilder is now Richmond Mayor.  Former Maryland Governor Schaefer has been state comptroller for a while now.  That's kinda the same.

What a load of bullsh!t.  That comment alone shows what kind of person you are.  How about making a constructive argument for once in your life?

I think that NixonNow means that prior to the Oklahoma City bombing, McVeigh was a decorated veteran having served in the Gulf War, where he earned a Bronze Star.  See Wikipedia Entry.  Not that Cleland and McVeigh are comparable, the argument is a polarized example that a "war hero" does not necessarily translate into qualifications for other jobs.  NixonNow - the argument is stronger if additional data is used in conjunction with your statement.  Timothy McVeigh is not known for his war hero history, and therefore the one-liner could easily be mis-interpreted that this bombing in Oklahoma City was heroic to some fringe group.

Yeah, that's what it sounded like.  I just thought it was wrong to put Max Cleland in the same breath as a terrorist who also happened to be a vet.
