WTVM.com and WTVM News Leader 9, Columbus, GA | Speech fallout? Sen. Miller says he doesn't sense any
Member Center:
In the weeks since his blistering speech at the National Republican Convention attacking his own Democratic Party, Georgia Senator Zell Miller says he has noticed little difference in how he is being treated by his colleagues.
Miller, who retires in January as the Senate's most conservative Democrat, says it's a myth that he has kept a lower profile since his keynote address at the G-O-P convention.
He tells The Associated Press that his campaign schedule representing President Bush has been much heavier since the convention, and he expects it to pick up even more before the November Second election.
As for his speech, Miller says he wouldn't change a word if he had it to do over again.
However, he says the tone of his speech might have come across a little softer if he hadn't felt compelled to rush through it to stay within his allotted 15 minutes.
Miller says he stands by his argument that fellow Democrat John Kerry is weak on defense and not suited to be president.
