If I were king of Georgia with absolute power, governors would be allowed to serve only one four-year term, as in the pre-George Busbee era. With only one time at bat, the governor could carry out his agenda without having to cater to special interests and fret about re-election.

The Speaker eyes November's election...More cremation questions...Miller for Veep?

Looking ahead to the 2006 governor's race.

The Congressman gets litigious...Murphy wants to re-up...Byrne smells a rat.

Republicans think they can score votes from redistricting anger... Barnes... floor leader quits... Phil Gramm scores at UGA.
