A multimillionaire businessman entered the GOP race to challenge Sen. Robert C. Byrd on Wednesday, hoping to deny the 88-year-old incumbent Democrat a record ninth term. John Raese, 55, said he would campaign on a platform touting free enterprise ...

Excellent news. I hope West Virginians are ready for a change.

Lieberman's not retiring. He desperately wants to keep his Senate seat, which is why he voted no. Connecticut is hopelessly lost to the Dims.

"More Democrats Get Behind Alito Nomination"

He's reporting that Byrd will vote YES for Alito!

And now Kennedy has stopped to let Byrd speak. Whoa.

Well that's no surprise. Lieberman is very liberal on almost every issue just like McCain is conservative on most issues. They both however love to show their "bi-partisanship" and that they have "moderate views", therefore they are hated by their own parties and loved by the other party. However if you look at f.ex. the ACU Ratings you'll see the truth.

Lifetime ratings:

Joseph Liebermann 17

Compare this with:

Tom Carper 18
Harry Reid 21
Sheets 30


and many other Democrats who have higher ACU rating than him. Yet you'd never expect Dingy Harry to vote for Alito. OTOH:

John McCain 83

Compare this to:

Judd Gregg 79
John Warner 81

and some REAL RINOs:

Magic Bullet 44
Lincoln Chaffee 41.

Kennedy up talking about workers rights.

Think about this.

What if a worker brought a case before a court and his/her case was that the employer stated they were qualified for the job they just didn't agree with their political philosophies.

How fast do you think the dems would say how wrong that is.......of course that's exactly what they're doing to Alito.
