| Description | Along with [Zell] Miller, 11 state House Democrats were on hand to endorse the Republican president. They were introduced by Republican Gov. Sonny Perdue, a former Democrat, who called them "folks who used to be like I was."
Several of the legislators are chairmen of powerful House committees. "Of the people running now, I'm going with the president," Rep. Bobby Parham (D-Milledgeville) said of the current presidential candidates.
Rep. Carl Rogers (D-Gainesville) said, "I got a son in the military, too, and I have to support him." Rep. Mike Boggs (D-Waycross), who is serving his last year in the House and is running for a Superior Court judgeship next year, said: "There's a lot of conservative Democrats in the Georgia Legislature who support President Bush. I don't think it's controversial at all."
Other Democratic House members backing Bush are Reps. Ken Birdsong of Gordon, Robert Ray of Fort Valley, Johnny Floyd of Cordele, Jeanette Jamison of Toccoa, Mickey Channell of Greensboro, Penny Houston of Nashville, Mike Snow of Chickamauga and Charles Jenkins of Blairsville. |
