You are picking reps in conservative areas. A senator has to take the state. To do that they have to take the cities that have huge liberal democratic control. You can see the effect of the demograhics on Chris Shays and his 20%. One of the towns in his district is Bridgeport, a large rat town.
The only way for Schesslinger to win is to become a huge Rino beforehand.
Excellent post, very informative. Thank YOU.
I disagree with you. If it's between a Dem and a GOPer, at least this year, the GOP doesn't stand a chance... even against Lamont.
Oh boy, another one... Comparing Lieberman to Zell is an INSULT to Zell.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Also an Old style Democrat, never mean spirted and always up for a good debate, always enjoyed listening to him speak.
No, I was not comparing Lieberman to Zell. No way!
I was commenting on Jan's post..........
After all this time hasn't Lieberman figured out that you CAN'T be for the security of THIS Country AND be a Democrat?
Believe me, I have NO delusions that Lieberman is anything more than a DemonRAT, that for his own reasons, supports the war on terror!
Nope. Kerry won Conn. by a very large margin yet 3 out of the 5 Congress are Republicans. Since the state is like 60% Dem, NONE of three of the three are in "safe" conservative areas. Rob Simmons represents a district that voted 56% for Kerry. The district was drawn to elect a Democrat and it was a big upset when Simmons defeated defeated ten-term RAT incumbent Sam Gejdenson by only 3,000 votes when he won the seat in 2002.
The Democratic Party has to be brought back to reality. Leiberman is the guy who could do it. He does not seem like a really bad guy too me. I would take Hubert Humphry over a Bill Clintoon anyday of the week.Just maybe Leiberman can get the Democratic leadership thinking again of themselves as Americans.

......America could use more Democrats like Joe Lieberman...
If they wouldn't follow Zell Miller, why will they follow Liberman.
The 'Rat rank and file stupidly follows their special interest leadership who know that if the party fragments....they are dead.
