Tuesday's election, in which Thurmond is seeking a U.S. Senate seat, is "more important than 2008" because there are now fewer teachers teaching more students, he said, adding that the state needs someone to stand up for those who don't have jobs or insurance.

"Right has no color," said Thurmond, the son of a third-generation Athens, Ga., sharecropper, a Paine College graduate and a three-term Georgia labor commissioner.
