He saw that besides Clinton who was the most moderate prez, he saw the modern day democratic party ( AL Gore's defeat in 2000) moving too far to the left even after 911. He mistook that as a sign of weakest after 911 and became a defacto along with Joseph Lieberman member of GOP Party. Along with the Zell Miller seat LA, NC, SC, and FL went GOP in 2004.  You could say that it was a political realignment or being soft on nat'l security.

The Dixiecrat party was going through a transforming time with the Barnes changing the confederate flag. People like Hollings and Barnes were on the left and people like Miller were on the right. When the war on terror begin in 2004, he felt siding with Dubya was the right thing to do.
