that fossil Zell Miller should be put out to pasture. It's surprising that black Southerners are so poorly understood by other Southerners. One of the prognosticators with a skewed and superficial view of black South Carolinians was Sen. Zell Miller, D-Ga. In the Jan. 5 Wall Street Journal, Miller proclaimed: "Conventional wisdom says native Southerners John Edwards and Wesley Clark (news - web sites) and moderate Joe Lieberman (news - web sites) will have the edge when the primaries move south. Don't count on it. I'd be willing to bet a steak dinner ... that Al Sharpton will get almost as many votes as Messrs. Edwards, Clark or Lieberman in this supposedly more friendly territory. ... The last time there was an African-American in the primaries, Jesse Jackson blew everyone away, getting 96 percent of the African-American vote in the South. ... So get ready to start counting Rev. Sharpton's delegates." I hope the senator knows some good steak restaurants. Sharpton received 17 percent of the African-American vote in South Carolina; Edwards and Kerry polled 37 percent and 34 percent respectively. story.news.yahoo.com
