He...appears to be a tool.

Senator Zell Miller has attacked his own party again, claiming (wrongfully) that the Democrats have moved too far to the left, neglected the South and that its candidates have little chance of beating George W. Bush. In the past, I chalked up a lot of Miller's fratracide to the fact that as a Senator from Georgia, sometimes he to distance himself from the Democrats' more liberal aspects. Now that Miller is retiring, there can't be a political motivation for his complaints unless it is to help the Republicans win.
