According to the Washington Monthly, Andy Young is running...
"Republicans have been salivating over the Georgia Senate seat up for grabs in 2004 ever since quasi-Democrat Zell Miller announced that he would not run for reelection. Now Democrats are giving them even more cause for hope. Andrew Young--former mayor of Atlanta and ambassador to the United Nations--has indicated he intends to run for the position. But the 71-year-old says he won't advertise, use polls, or listen to consultants. Party insiders, who had been recruiting former Georgia Senator Sam Nunn's daughter, Michelle Nunn, to enter the race are exasperated with Young's old-time approach to campaigning. But they're even more frustrated that Nunn, the 36-year-old founder and director of a popular volunteerism program in Atlanta, has vowed not to run as long as Young remains in the campaign."

No wonder Zell is having a fit, if Andy wins Zell's entire dreamworld would zip away.
