Next year's political model may resemble a 61-year-old businessman named Guy Millner. In 1994, armed with $1.6 million of his own money, Millner jumped into Georgia's gubernatorial race and won the Republican primary before losing narrowly to incumbent Democrat Zell Miller. Two years later, Millner ran for Georgia's vacant U.S. Senate seat--again gaining the G.O.P. nod, and again falling short in the general election.

In a Republican district that has gone for button-down Democrats like Governor Zell Miller and Senator Sam Nunn, Coles sells himself as a crime-fighting deficit hawk. Though he built his $100 million cookie company from virtually nothing and recovered from a motorcycle accident after doctors told him he would never walk again, can he silence the Speaker...
...Speaking at Villanova, Dole said Clinton "talks like Dirty Harry but acts like Barney Fife." As the Democrats were quick to point out, Georgia Governor Zell Miller used that exact analogy in speaking of President Bush at the 1992 Democratic Convention...
