HUMAN EVENTS ONLINE - Pseudo-Republicans for Kerry by John Gizzi   (Site not responding.

Andersen, governor of Minnesota from 1960-62. His is "Democrat Lite." Pero recalled how Milliken has long disagreed with conservatives on cultural issues and that in the 1970s and '80s he was a vocal supporter of abortion while the leading pro-life voice in Lansing was that of Democratic House Speaker William A. Ryan. Pero added that Milliken's support of Kerry "is not unexpected, when one considers his lack of support for Republicans here." Indeed, he noted, Milliken never supported 1982 GOP nominee Dick Headlee, Republican Gov.
