WASHINGTON (CNN) -- 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."
Santorum is trailing in public polls to his Democratic challenger Bob Casey, Jr.
Miller alienated his Senate
Democratic colleagues two years ago when he endorsed Bush and
campaigned for him in his successful reelection bid against Sen. John
Kerry, D-Massachusetts. And in a fiery speech at the 2004 Republican
National Convention, Miller criticized Kerry's military strategy.
"This is the man who wants to be the
Commander in Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces," Miller said. "U.S. forces
armed with what? Spitballs?"

I've been saying a Novena
(to St. Jude)
for Rick, leading up to election day. I voted for him in 1994
when I was still a Pennsylvania resident. Can't vote for him now,
since I'm a Californian, but I can certainly pray for him.
