I'll just recap here what you wrote earlier so that others can decide if I 
was wrong to think you were endorsing Zell Miller:

   I guess if I were to go out on a limb, someone in the vien of a Zell
   Miller would be the most obvious choice to me. Obama needs to bring
   someone in with more experience and respect than himself. Miller is a
   southern conservative democrat and has lots of experience, though he
   might be considered too old at 76.

Did he help any sick people who were harmed by reckless doctors or 
hospitals?  What do you think should be done -- should we just stop having 
malpractice lawsuits in order to save money on healthcare?  I definitely 
prefer the world I have now to a world without malpractice suits.

You definitely are good at parroting conservative talking points without 
showing any real insights.
