Not only do I know his name, I've played blackjack with him. Just kidding. But, you're right, he doesn't stand a chance. A year and a half ago, I said, after Lieberman chastized his fellow democrats for demanding apologies from US authorities for the Abu Ghraib thing and not from the terrorists, that I might actually vote for him. Now it appears that I may have to since the vote for the republican could hand the seat to a left wing antiwar loon.
I am so far to the right of Leibermans politics, but his support of efforts that protect America from terrorists trumps all else IMHO, which is why I plan to (gulp!) vote for him in November.
