The best part is the slap-in-the-face Lieberman's win will be to Soros.

Nod Lament comes from a line of communists.

Lamont Campaign Headquarters:

"And I wasted all that money to buy the kid this government job"!

Wallace was POTUS in the movie starring James Garner wherein the NAZIs attempt to convince the Garner character that it is the late 1940s -- in an effort to learn the Allies' (1944) invasion route into France. The "Stars and Stripes" newspaper had a headline about President Wallace and peace negotiations. Can't recall the title of the film.

Thankfully (in reality) FDR lived through the term Wallace was VP. Your Hollywood fact of the day.

Unfortunately, HAW comes from my home county, also home of The Rock, a patriotic beauty. How can one county revere both HAW and the great American, Ray (Bubba) Sorensen? We have streets named after HAW. Very sad.

The young Harry Belafonte gave Henry Wallace for President concerts. As far as I know, Belafonte hasn't repudiated the old Progressive Party.

Puzzling -- at least to me -- is Iowa's well-developed liberal politics. Spent some fun time farming in Iowa up near Ida Grove (north west quadrant, IIRC) and found the permanent residents downright decent with lots of common sense (especially compared to my native Californios). But then Iowa has it Harkins too. Food was the best ever tasted.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

You were very close to Congressman Steve King territory. Iowa has wierd politics. We have both Grassley and Harkin. Go figure.

I'm very optimistic about Republican chances this Nov.

We have a huge Democrat scandal in this state (it's that culture of corruption) and we have some pretty good Republican candidates. With some luck, we could elect 5 Republican congressmen and also Nussle should beat that nut job, Culver.

There is no reason we should not also take back the Sec. of Ag and hopefully, Sec. of State.

I'm probably being too optimistic but that's better than being pessimistic.

[Michael.SF.]

Lamont will lose in November and then fade into the obscurity he deserves.

Oh, yeah, yippee!!! we're all getting behind the liberal L-man - and the Dems get to keep their figleaf of respectability. Put everybody's mind at ease.

Have to hand it to L-man... a liberal who votes 90% far left getting the whole of Freeperland as his cheering section is one great marketer. Outslicks slick Willie..

[MCCRon58]

looks like the Connecti-cutt-and-runners finally have their candidate.

The movie is 36 Hours released in the mid '60s with Eva Maria Saint and Rod Taylor supporting Garner.  A very good movie.

[Valin]

I think what's going on is a case of..the enemy of my enemy is my friend. And yes Joe is a liberal, but compared to the Ned, Joe is completely sane.

Thanks for the follow through. In that movie the H-wood writers actually had the guys who wanted to impose totalitarianism and doctrinal purity and wipe out Jews as the bad guys. That was the mid-60s, as you point out. History doesn't repeat itself, it just rhymes.

Is five Rep congressmen a gain, loss, or holding? I don't want two years worth of impeachment hearings. The margin will be close, by present counts.

Ned Lamont will very likely try to move to the center, however, Howard Dean will work feverishly to pull more to the left, he will be the down fall of Lamont. Lamont is a opportunist and like all opportunist he has no true principles.
