Joe Lieberman Has a New Political Ally, Bill Clinton

Well as much as I dispise Bubba, he's definately doing the right thing in terms of his party on this one.. even if the rabid base doesn't realize it.

Lieberman will keep his seat even if he loses the primary, running as an I.. but if he loses the primary, especially to a "bush lied, bring em home now, no war for oil" moonbat in the Primary, the dems nationally just look even more kook than they already do.

Lieberman will keep his seat... Lamont is an abject joke..
You think the Howard Dean Scream made dems look idiotic, if this guy beats Lieberman in the primary, then the national press will start paying attention and this moonbat and those that back him will be on display for the entire country, which will just alienate the dems that much more.

There are 2 scenarios.. 1) Lieberman wins his primary and wins re-election. 2) Lieberman loses his primary because the moonbats rally around Lamont.. Leiberman runs as an I and or he sits it out.

If he sits it out, the R will win by default as Lamont will not even get 35% of the vote.

If he runs, he cleans Lamonts clock, and now is in the Senate with his own party having seperated themselves from him during his primary because they didn't want to incurr the wrath of the minority but rabid moonbats. So, bridges will be burned and there will be even less incentive for Leiberman to hold the line and play the role as reasonable Dem.. because he will no longer be a dem.

For DEMOCRATS the only viable option is to help Lieberman win his primary.. the problem is if anyone currently in office steps up.. the moonbats will target them next election cycle.... so sitting politicians won't do it, even if they know it needs to be done. Bubba is the best choice for the Job as he has nothing to lose.

The anti-war left got robbed in Seattle and it looks like they're being mugged in CT.

I wonder how many of these anti-war folks will just sit out in '06 and '08?

If it's as high as 5%, that will guarantee Republican majorities in both houses. And most certainly retention of the WH.
