If you don't believe the world is turned upside down, consider. Conservative talk show hosts are all beating the drum for Joe Lieberman, a lifelong, dedicated socialist who has voted the straight liberal line for his entire career.
This nice gentlemen wants to take your money, freedoms and liberty in the name of the state. He favors every liberal idea that comes down the pike except for his position on the war on terrorism.
And that puts him opposite Lamont whose father, Corliss Lamont, was one of the largest fund raisers for Stalin and the cause of international communism. Roots.
I am surprised there has been no gnashing of teeth from the left about this being some conspiracy launched by Karl Rove to deny voters their chosen Democrat candidate?
This will be fun watching the leftwing moonbats fight the other liberal moonbats.
According to this poll Lamont leads Schlessinger among Republicans by 13% to 10% (http://www.quinnipiac.edu/x11362.xml?ReleaseID=948). Does any one understand this?
I wonder how long it will take for the demorats in the Senate that have cut Joe off at the pass to get behind him? When it gets close to the election and Joe is still way ahead will his "friends" in the Senate be at his side....you betchm.
A month ago, Rasmussen had the two tied at 40% each and Republican Alan Schlesinger was 13%.
Looks like Joe has the Big Mo!
Actually, I wish that Lamont was still leading in the polls. Now many of the Dems will NOT get openly and as strongly behind Lamont. I want Lamont to gather as many Dems, including Hillary, endorsing him as possible. I want the Dems to be exposed for who they really are. Go Lamont!!
It will be. It's like watching two teams one hates beat the hell out of each other.
Oh the MSM will do their best to keep him in the race.
Hopefully Lieberman will have enough money to run a solid campaign, Moveon and other groups will continue to help Lamont.
The weak DUmmie Senators will flip flop again after they see several more weeks of polls where Joe is going up even more.
The Dummies hate each other more than anything.
The Kerry vs Dean crowds were brutal in their own early primaries.
The Clintoon's and their crowds really hate Al Gore for all of the Gore "mistakes."
They're like rival crime families fighting over the rackets.
...whose father, Corliss Lamont.
Ned Lamont is the grandnephew, not son of Corliss Lamont.
I don't normally like comparing single polls from two different outlets and drawing trends from that - the methodlogies are usually quite different and you end up comparing apples and oranges.
Having said that, Quinnipiac is as left-wing a "polling outfit" there is. I wouldn't be surprised to find that Lieberman's actual lead is bigger than what they're reporting.
Besides being a committed hard leftist, Ned Lament is also a political greenhorn as well as a complete lightweight. I figured once Lieberman started to really campaign, this would become so obvious that even the DBM wouldn't be able to paper it over. The best evidence of that so far is that the Dims have already started whining about Lieberman's campaign tactics.
The anti-Semitic attacks can't be very long in coming, especially as it seems that Lament is trying to find a way to ease Al Sharpton out of the picture.
