I don't understand why conservatives "can't afford" to vote for the only conservative running. To me, it is the only logical vote a true conservative would give.
It seems that many "so called" republicans would vote for a flaming liberal only because he supports the President's position on Iraq. This premise completely ignores the vast sickening mass of liberal agenda they are swallowing through their vote and/or support for Lieberman.
Because you just can't get enough votes to elect the most conservative candidate in this case. Since Lieberman has switched away from the Dems, a vote for him is a block on Lamont. It basically takes the seat off the playing field.
With Schelesinger polling at 4 to 8%, and the threat of Lamont over Lieberman, conservatives here have to suck it up and keep the freak lamont out of office, if for no other reason than the DNC supports Lamont over Lieberman. Schlesinger has less than a snowballs chance in hell.
This will be the first time in all my years pulling a lever for a dem in a national election. It definiely pains me, but is the right thing to do.
Thats right MBB, I don't know what these gullible conservatives are thinking. Will it look good for conservatives in America if the Democratic Senate ticket gets 90% in Connecticut? Also, they're voting for Harry Reid for Senate Majority leader, yet that somehow never crosses their minds.
