DEL.ICIO.USAnd Steen Miles dips in
Entry of third candidate in the Democratic race could make for an expensive run-off.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
One-term state Sen. Steen Miles of DeKalb County has decided she wants to be lieutenant governor after all. Sounds like she intends to ride the DeKalb County wave of votes in the Democratic primary. She’ll be drawing from both other candidates, Jim Martin and Greg Hecht.
This is from her morning press release: “I’m running to make certain voters have viable choices and that we have continuity of a Democratic governor and lieutenant governor elected in November. Further, I didn’t come into the political arena to make a career, but to make a difference. We need to do everything possible to regain Georgia for Georgians.”
You will recall Miles as the senator who put Jane Fonda in for plaudits this session, though the resolution was later withdrawn.

Steen must have more money than common sense!
Nobody from the outlaw 4th District will ever attain high office on the state level. Denise Majette learned that the hard way.

But she could make waves in the Democratic primary. More African Americans vote in the D Primary than whites. And this could help Cynthia and Mark in the primary.

Men of America, if you want to elect a woman who is very anti-male, then vote for Steen Miles. Steen Miles and Mary Margaret Oliver are radical feminists who want every man to bow under the thumbs of women. They don’t feel divorced or single fathers should be a vital part of their children’s lives and should only fork over tons and ton of money for the custodial mother to use at her whim.

Clearly, Steen is tired of being a politician. There is no other explanation as to why she would choose this suicide mission.
Maybe she’s just gearing up for a run at school superintendent in 2010.

Does anyone know how much money she has to run this campaign?
