I wonder what the lib pundits and MSM would say if Lieberman won and anti-war Democrats lost.

Using their theory, Bush has actually gained in the democratic stronghold of CT. 48% on Tues up from 44% in 2004

Very interesting.

I agree. There will always be a DemocRAT Party.

One extreme-left socialist organization, comprised of DemocRATs is the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

Members of this group include such leftists as: Barbara Lee, Lynn Woolsey, founder, Bernie Sanders, Jan Schakowsky, John Conyers, Maurice Hinchey, George Miller, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Bob Filner, Diane DeGette, Alcee Hastings, John Lewis, Patsy Mink, Jesse Jackson Jr. III, John Conyers, Jerrold Nadler, Jamor Owens, Charles Rangel, Dennis Kucinch, Sherrod Brown, Peter DeFazio, Robert C. Scott, James McDermitt, and Barney Frank, to name a few.

The most socialistic (“Communistic”) of our politicians are a band of rabid anti-American socialists: Charles Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Boxer, Dianne Fienstein, Frank Lautenburg, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Harry Reid and others, all Democrats. The Communist Party of the USA and the Chinese Communist Party “endorsed” John Kerry in the last election.

Don't hold your breath it aint gonna happen. Unfortunately the Republican candidate is a nobody and a nobody with an alleged gambling problem to boot. It's a shame that there isn't a Rebublican candidate worth voting for but that's a Pubbies for you. So even I, who have made a personal vow since 2000 to never, ever vote for a demo/socialist am going to vote for Liberman.

No, I don't think Joe is a moderate, he's a straight down the line liberal, tax and spend guy. But he's not anti-American and he certainly undertands the consequenses if we surrender in the WOT. He also understands that Iraq is part of the WOT. So given the choice of that or the limp wristed surrender monkey Lamont I guess I'll have to hold my nose and vote for Joe.

Lamont winning is not necessarily good for the moonbats.

I agree with you.

Israel's fight for survival and the uncovering of more terrorist plots might cause voters to realize that Dems like Lamont are throwing away our children's future.

That it was a moral victory to even make him put up money to fight them off.

Michael Schiavo, wife starver extraordinaire, probably feels pretty good right now, because his candidate, Ned Lamont, beat Lieberman. We can probably expect to see more of Michael, if Lieberman runs as an independent.

Terri Schiavo's Brother Thanks Lieberman as Michael Campaigns for Lamont

In a 2003 interview with AP, Lieberman said he supported a decision in favor of life in cases where a patient is incapacitated and has not made known their desires about lifesaving medical treatment.

"I believe that certainly in cases where there is not a living will ... I feel very strongly that we ought to honor life and we ought not to create a system where people are being deprived of nutrition or hydration in a way that ends their lives,” Lieberman said.

... Schindler said he sought Lieberman's help when legislation was pending in the Senate to support Terri.

Saying Lieberman and other lawmakers were "trying to do the right thing," Schindler told the Hartford paper, "That's all the government said -- give her a federal review, like the people on death row. The government's role is to protect innocent life."

At least Joe thinks a woman should really have her day in court before her husband gets to starve her to death.

Reasonable Democrats including the few that remain here in Washington have to be afraid right now. Very afraid.

That opening line says it all!

Democrats will not fight for freedom, protect the country or even acknowledge the War on Terror. (which reared it's ugly head again this morning). I truly thought people in CT were smarter than this - most work in New York City, many lost on 9/11. Lamont's back ground needs further exploration, who actually backed the 'new comer' and what they expected to get or do they really want to cut and run. There is more here than meets the eye or the reporting. The exponential fall out from these voters is clear; they will appease any who want to hurt America or any other country. Is this a thinly veiled anti-Jewish sentiment or are other factors at work here - all CT schools, colleges, professors, ministers must be looked into....Connecticut, Liberalism is thy name - you have caved in to the enemy. G-d help the children in those schools....................

Lieberman doesn't have the required deep pocket$ to go the distance with Lamont.
I see him getting out mid-September.

Maybe the Joisey Ghouls exerted some influence on their cousins in Connecticut.

Or...Maybe some ACLU bigwigs live in Connecticut.

If he runs, Liberman will have the support of a lot of people who don't want their children to be raised as Muslims or slaves of Muslims.

Does he need to campaign so extensively in that he is better known than Lamont anyway? For many voters, it's all about name ID.

If a non-RINO Repub can't get in, I'd rather have Lieberman.

I'd rather have Lieberman than a RINO.

Like I said, he's a decent guy.

I didn't know that about Schiavo.

Michael Schiavo is pretty near one of the lowest creatures around in my book.

I cant wait to see the Dems split their vote between Lamont and Lieberman, and we pick up a Republican in the CT seat.

It may not be too late, given CT's election law, for the loser/gambler GOP candidate to step aside and let the party fill the vacancy with a real credible GOP candidate. then, Fi Lieberman and the other kook get 33% of the vote each the GOP candidate only needs 34% to take the election and the senate seat. Is there "runoffs" in CT?

Not too many people know that Michael Schiavo hates the fact that Lieberman thought Terri deserved something better than starvation.

The Democratic Party will be dead until something like a "Christian Democratic Party" rises from its ashes.

Of note, of course, is that the Constitution guarantees citizens of each state a REPUBLICAN form of government. A pure democracy is an extreme danger, as any thoughtful person would quickly see.

That's one reason why democrats are so enamored of polls.

He won't have the DNC election machine that gets out the vote on election day, which means he has to start from scratch and that costs a lot of bucks.
And you know that the Move On and DNC folks are going to be throwing a lot of crap his way that he has to counter.
