Microsoft said yesterday it has severed ties with Ralph Reed, a Republican lobbyist who once headed the Christian Coalition and is now running for lieutenant governor in Georgia. "Ralph Reed is no longer on retainer with Microsoft," company spokeswoman Ginny Terzano said. The move came a month after liberal activists urged Microsoft to quit using Reed as a political consultant, upset that the software company had pulled its support for a Washington state gay-rights bill it had backed in the past. The company has since said it will support such legislation in the future.
