Zoller and Bryant: 3 Big Things You Need to Know Today: US Senate Musical Chairs, Georgia Executions, Rep. David Scott and Hearings on Cruise Ships
It's US Senate musical chairs since the announcement by Sen. Saxby Chambliss that he's not seeking re-election. The one indicator that this seat is in play from a Democrat perspective is the President is coming again in May to Atlanta. Keep watching. Tim and I had some interesting conversations with potential candidates this weekend. There are two executions scheduled in Georgia this month and the libs and the international press are already talking about it. And, leave it to Rep. David Scott to complicate things. He wants to have congressional hearings on the Triumph Cruise Ship Debacle. Is this really the role of Congress.

He's worked hard to be one of 125 exempt tour players. He practices every day, probably since he was 12 years old and he travels every week from January to November.
