Before everyone jumps up and down and starts screaming about Carville, you really should consider the timing nd context.

In June of 2000, when this article was written, Zellout was a wildly popular former Governor of Georgia, and an unquestioned Democrat. People here in Georgia respected him. It wasn't until July of 2000, when Paul Coverdell died and Roy Barnes appointed Zellout to the Senate that he became the turncoat we all know and despise today. Hell, I volunteered for his campaign in the special election that followed his appointment, and I felt just as pissed at Zell as everyone else did when he turned his back on us.

It wasn't until he'd been in the Senate for a few years that Zellout betrayed us all. But, in June of 2000, there was no reason to believe that he would, and you should consider that before you condemn James Carville for suggesting that he would have made a good VP.
