...Zell Miller, a conservative maverick Democrat from Georgia, has been courted by Republicans practically from the day he was sworn in last January. Texas Republican Sen. Phil Gramm got Miller to sign onto George W. Bush's mega-tax cut, and, ever since, Gramm has been trying to sweet talk Miller into becoming a Republican. Press speculation became white hot several weeks ago that Miller was about to jump ship. The speculators apparently were ahead of Miller, who adamantly denies he was mulling a switch.
