From a realistic perspective will this happen?
If it doesn't, what will you do?
Personally, I like Loserman, but his politics sucks - excpet for supporting Bush on the war on terror - and that so critical right now that I woudl vote for him unless I was sure the Repub had a good chance of getting in, and I knew the Repub wouldn't turn out to be a Chuckie Hegel or John McCain.
If the grassroots GOP can get Schlesinger to drop out it will -- Orchulli is itching to run, and has said so publicly.

That's not much of a reason for voting for a guy. I'm sure Ted Kennedy is a great raconteur, but we need every vote we can get in the Senate. This is the only chance we'll have to pick up a seat in Connecticut for the forseeable future. Orchulli will be way to the right of Lieberman, and he's very well-known. In a two-way race, he'd have no chance, but with the Dem vote split, now's our chance.
