Why not hope the Repub candidate wins? Joe's as liberal as Barbara Boxer, except for national defense.

Let him split the 'rat vote and give us this opportunity.

True, but national defense trumps everything. We cannot not risk a three-way race.

Besides, the 'pub is probably a Rino.

Suck it up Connecticut 'pubs. No loss to us if Lieberman wins. No gain of if the Rino wins. Disaster if the 'trustifarian' Dim wins.

From what CT Freepers have indicated, there would have to be 6 Joe Lieberman's running as independents to split the vote enough to give the GOP candidate a chance of being elected.

"Why not hope the Repub candidate wins? "
unfortunately the R in this race - Schlesinger - is damaged goods. he had a gambling problem and a couple of pseudonyms at Foxwoods with different names on different wampum cards. was a card counter who still managed to get into massive gambling debt
he refuses to get out of the race despite the Governor asking him to.
