Preference will be given to letters less than 200 words. Gov. Roy Barnes has seen fit to fill the late Sen. Paul Coverdell's seat with former Democratic Gov. Zell Miller. Mr. Miller is a fine, talented man, but let's not kid ourselves, that is partisan politics. There are many fine and talented men and women of a Republican philosophy who could replace Sen. Coverdell, who was elected by a Republican majority after a hard fight and then did a great job. I find it egotistical and self-serving of Gov. Barnes to appoint a Democrat, no matter how qualified, to fill Sen. Coverdell's shoes, even if only for five months.
