"Suffice it to say, Porter and the Democrats plan to be a major influence in what happens in the upcoming session. Remember that Gov. Perdue and the Republican legislators finished the last session in a major squabble, and I suspect there are some lingering bruised feelings that will carry over to this session. Porter intends to keep his disparate crowd united and thus able to affect key legislation. This is one nice guy who doesn't intend to finish last."
