Here in CT there's a lot of talk of supporting the CT senate primary winner, Lieberman or Lamont. Support the party! But in VT, the opposite is being played out...

Will Lieberman runs as an Independent if Lamont wins the primary ?

Yes, he has so stated and is already gathering the signatures.

At least three other candidates have announced their intention to run for the Democratic nomination in the Sept. 12 primary, but party leaders prefer Sanders to any of them. So, they prefer a Socialist to three of their own, eh? Not surprising, really.

When is the Conn primary ?

"State Democratic leaders are spearheading efforts to gather signatures to put Sanders on the ballot as a Democrat, even though Sanders has repeatedly said he would turn down the party's nomination if he wins the primary." This move shows how much the "Straight Ticket" voting matters to winning elections.
As an Independent, Sanders won't get Democratic Party straight ticket votes.
An injunction needs to prevent the Democrats from co-opting, against his will, Sanders into the Democratic straight ticket ballot selection.

Many a hippie idiot from the Northeast has moved to Vermont since the 60's. Case in point: Howard Dean.

Is there a Conservative Republican in Vermont who can step in amidst all the LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist inspired chaos and dissention and win?

Maybe someone from Vermont can answer your question.
This from the article...
"Two candidates, Richard Tarrant and Greg Parke, are running in the Republican primary.
Barnett said the state GOP is officially neutral in that race, though he noted that Tarrant received the overwhelming support of party regular in a nonbinding straw poll taken in May."

Although Bernie may qualify as a beatnick. I had a chat with a guy from NYC that said he knew Bernie way back when.

Too bad your most Republican district spits out Nancy Johnson each year. When she leaves maybe you folks can find somebody more Republican Mainstream and less infatuated with abortion. Even in NH they manage congressmen who have ACU scores in the seventies from time to time.

Question to ask is if Lieberman wins the primary, will Lamont run as an independent?

Lamont has stated that he will support Lieberman if Lieberman wins, and has asked Lieberman to extend to him the same courtesy...which, it looks like, will not happen...Lieberman has started (or is about to start) his petition drive.

Actually they prefer a Communist (Sanders) to their three Socialists.
