Ah... never mind. Helps if I open my good eye.
Good. I wonder if this remark portends how he'd behave in the Senate.
Oooohhh...Rell is up on DeStefano by ONLY 17 points...she had better watch out, or she may only win by 15 now! /sarcasm
I was at the Pilot Pen tennis tourny on Saturday. Destefano got up to speak...LORD! That voice would make a preacher kick out a stained glass window.
Good news about Rell. And it sounds as if Lieberman is doing better than the MSM has been saying, if an Islamist like Zogby says he still holds a lead.
Not even Zogby can skew these results.
Zogby isn't very reliable these days.
You are right. I think once they start having televised debates, DeStefano will lose ground because he comes off rather badly on TV.
He really got it handed to him in the last presidential election where he was cooking the books right up into receiving bogus exit poll results and updating his thereby wrong "predictions" after the fact. Total humiliation. He better fix his methodology this time. Rassmussen came back from the dead by coming close to the actual result after a wildly wrong prediction the previous election.
I would not vote for Lieberman if I lived in Connecticut, but it will be funny if Lamont loses after all the victory parties the far-left had when he won the primary.
Governor?
I was wondering about that too?
This doesn't make sense.
Is there a lesson that conservative motivated voters should take away from this in their views of who to vote for in the Presidential primaries of '08? Hopefully there is no national Perot or other Lieberman equivelent, but the instruction offered by this occurance isn't limited to a third party feint, but instead focuses in on Party versus ideological purity.
Barring some major scandal hurting Lieberman, this one's over. Though the state is overwhelmingly "blue"/lefty as a whole, there's still sufficient Republican (or-Stop-Lament) energy to, well, Stop Lament.
The "victory" (at the primary) of Lament and NeverMoveOn.Duh truly was self-defeating. Even if Joe doesn't Jump Like Jeffords (and I don't believe he will) after he wins, still his @$$ is gonna be chapped. Don't look for Joe to filibuster any judicial nominees, for example.
Very nice.
I'm under no illusions about Mr. Lieberman, but I do really want him to win his seat back---as an Indie.
I's are not D's and the fewer D's there are in the Senate, the better I like it. Even if Joe caucuses with the Rats (and he will), his seat still won't count toward a Rat majority for leadership positions, etc.
Plus it would be a major blowback to the moonbat left.
Wait -- I thought Joe was already running as an Independent, since Lamont is the Rat candidate.
If he's running as an (I), isn't he already Jumpin' Jeffords? Or am I missing something here.
Joe's firmly stated (daily, by now; almost hourly in the news cycles just before the primary vote) that he's remaining a Democrat; my point in referring to Jeffords was to stress that Lieberman, upon re-election in November, will continue to caucus with the Dems.
In any case, Joe says he's "an independent Democrat," although for state-ballot-rules purposes he may be listed as an "Independent." Dunno.
Oh, then I have been sorely mistaken.
I thought if he ran as an "I," he had to govern as an "I."
Hmmmm.
Well . . . in any event, I hope he wins. It would be a slap in the face to the moonbat base.
