"Is it possible that Clinton is worried that the Republican would win if Lieberman is defeated?? "

Last poll I saw had Lieberman wining in a 3 way contest with Lamont and the Republican candidate.
Lieberman is probably going to end up winning either way, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
Having yet another Bush-hating, loony left aniti-war, psycho like Lamont in the Senate can only be bad for America.
Plus why break the ZERRO record of the Kos moonbats in backing candidates?

More details have come out about Alan Schlesinger's gambling habits so any tiny chance he had of being a contender in this race is probably destroyed anyway.

Now that Clinton is on the case, that probably means the end for Lieberman too.

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.
