I cna't wait to see Democrats in the Senate react when Lieberman wins. Like Brutus two thousand years ago, they all stabbed Lieberman in the back. But this time Brutus lives.

The GOP candidate polling 4% in a three-way race in America's wealthiest state.

Party of the rich? I don't think so?

The CT electorate has apparently lost its collective mind.

"Lamont, however, is improving since a July 20 Quinnipiac poll" LOL! if this was a republican trailing the AP would say that "amid low poll ratings are the publics concerns on the war, gas, prices, Katrina, Lebanon, etc...."

[JHBowden]

Caesar lives, ahem.

Among likely voters, Lieberman was supported by 53 percent, compared to Lamont's 41 percent and Schlesinger's 4 percent.

Which means only 12 percent are undecided, and Lamont would have to pick up all of them to win.

Lieberman will do this country a great service if he trounces Lamont. It will discredit the moonbats as the idiots they are and exile them back to the crevices they crawled out of.

Lieberman, a nationally known centrist...

In whose wet dream?

Lieberman may be better than some Democrats on some issues, but he's still a lefty.

I'd like to see him pull the election out, since his opposition is a nut-case, but we shouldn't lose sight of his true leanings. He's way way way left of center on most issues.

Wonder what Chris Dodd will have to say ? And will Loserman forgive him ?

Hey Dean, you better spend some money in Conneticut if you want to retain that seat for the Democrats. Kos and his boys will scream bloody murder if you sit this one out. Heh-heh.

[dirtboy]

Lamont, however, is improving since a July 20 Quinnipiac poll. In that survey of registered voters, he trailed Lieberman 51 percent to 27 percent with Schlesinger getting 9 percent

Some improvement. Lamont now gets just about all the support from the Dems. But he will have an impossible time making inroads among the independent voters:

nearly half doubted that Lamont, a political novice who founded a company that wires college campuses for cable television, has enough experience to be senator.

So Lamont can try to re-position himself all he wants. But he cannot do jack to rectify his largest stumbling block here - his lack of experience.

I don't know if it's quite time to put a fork in Lamont, but we sure can have one handy for when the time comes.

3-4% isn't particularly inspiring for a major party candidate.

[Ragtop]

It's alright, it seemed right to me the first time, then I thought about it for a minute and I realized it was wrong. I figured a correction was on it's way. No harm, no foul.

[KJC1]

This thread needs the "Ha ha" Simpson pic. LOL.

[hgro]

The Dims are squirming in their seats now. They have made an enemy and will regret it for a long time.

I have no illusions that Lieberman is liberal on most issues. However, there is liberal, and there is certifiably insane liberal. The hard left now represents, IMO, a toxic mold growing in this country. Someone needs to hit 'em with the Tilex, and it looks like circumstances have bestowed that task upon Lieberman - and since the GOP candidate is worthless, we might as well take this opportunity to inflict a mortal wound on the electability of the nutbars.

Thanks for the early morning laugh. It's observations like yours that make life worth living. :)

[DoughtyOne]

I agree

[Bringbackthedraft]

Lefty yes, but he leaves me with the impression as being a very "honest lefty", and how often do you find one of those in congress? He's likable lefty compared to the other Lefty Senators in the NE.
