Ned Lamont is the sone of Corliss Lamont one of the richest and most prominent Communist pushers in the last century.
As for Joe Leiberman, he is a far-left, extreme radical. He has a 95 percent record of voting against conservative ussues in the senate. Leiberman voted against conviction when Clinton was impeached. He is farther to the left than Teddy Kennedy.
lol..Ned's "big idea"...
For Red Ned Lamont: Hamden may have trended liberal over the last few decades [From 1900 to 1967, the Democrats held Town Hall only from 1903-1907 and from 1955-1957] but Ned ought not imagine that his victory there is an automatic. Lieberman is the next door neighbor. Most Hamden Democrats are ethnic Catholics, particularly Italians, and are rather unlikely to favor cowardice in foreign policy.
Yes, he's done the dems liberal bidding, that's his JOB as a dem. And yet consider the GOOD NEWS about CT : if lamont flounders in that liberal cesspool, what does that mean for the rest of the country? The DEM+ONs have been beating their tattered and torn vietnam anti-war drum for how long now? Finally people, even in CT, are realizing that evil prospers when good men do nothing. Since tonite is halloween perhaps many a "perot type" will reconsider their decision to sit out 11/7/6 as a protest, speaker pelosi would be a nightmare, a scary, 2 year long movie they'd rather not see...
Lieberman has ran some very sharp television ads in Connecticut, which have undoubtedly helped his poll numbers.
In one ad he notes how his experience working with the military in the Federal government helped save the Groton submarine base from closing (and all the jobs that go with it). He then notes that Lamont couldn't have possibly have helped save the base.
In another ad, he notes that Lamont invested $5,000,000 in a firm that took jobs out of Connecticut and moved them overseas. In a similar ad, he notes how many people lamont has laid off from his company.
Lieberman stresses working across the aisle.
Meanwhile, Lone-Issue-Lamont keeps repeating the same message of Lieberman=Bush...which only works on the 20% nutjobs.
Yes, it will nice that Lieberman stays in the senate, even as an independent. What does that say about dems when he was at the top of their ticket as VP candidate not too long ago? Again, as a one(left)wing aircraft, the dems are self destructing as a going concern, you can't govern this democracy with just 20% nut-jobs. Yes, we have to put up w/rinos, etc but the CT republicans are making a wise choice by going w/Lieberman, he's a true gentleman that USED to be on the other side of the aisle. Also there's the seniority issue, people understand that when you elect a new senator, he/they start anew at the bottom of the pork-pecking order = BAD NEWS come state-appropriation mark-up time. Our hope here in MT is that independents, even some dems, see why keeping Conrad Burns is so important as to seniority...if nothing else.
