Liberals want Keith Olbermann to run for retiring Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman's (I-Conn.) seat.

The ploy to coax the former MSNBC host into the Democratic Senate primary was hatched by activists attending a conference in Pennsylvania over the weekend.

Facebook and Twitter pages are already active and a website is expected to go up in the coming days.

"We’re using our full set of campaign tools but they won’t go active until we get a little downtime while we’re in D.C.," a blogger by the name of Stranded Wind wrote on the liberal website Daily Kos

Like he’s senate material. All his opponent will have to do is play some of his hateful countdown clips.

They found someone to fill Olbermann’s clown shoes at MSNBC. They’re giving Cenk Uygar the job.

The sad thing is, he will probably win. This is Conn. after all.

First Al Franken and now, Keith.

Let me get this straight. As liberal talk show or radio hosts are thrown out of their jobs, they are just going to move to the Senate.

There’s going to be a LOT of new senators.

I guess Jared Loughner was busy.

Didn’t Olbermann bad mouth Connecticut on his way out of ESPN some years ago? In fact, I seem to recall that he cited ESPN’s presence in Connecticut as the main reason for leaving. He wanted to be in the big city.

I think this is great idea! Make him a candidate, they will have to “peel back the onion” and find out his history of mental illness.

Are you sure that's spelled right?

Shouldn't it be "Cenk Urgay"?

I’m not sure Franken would be willing to surrender his “Biggest Moron” title without a fight....

Hmmm. I thought shutting down opposition media outlets was something Nazis did. Could that mean “Cenk Urgay” is a Nazi?

“The sad thing is, he will probably win. This is Conn. after all.”

As a Ct resident, what you say is true. He could win. Unions own this state lock, stock and barrel.

Lucky for me I’m retiring and moving to the south where nice people live.
