But won't Lieberman and Lamont split, say, 60% of the vote (call it 30-30), while the Pubbie gets 40%?Republicans are about 25 percent of the voters in Connecticut. There is no way a Republican can win..
If nothing else, Joe had some clout on the Hill. I am somewhat surprised the voters of CT are voting just on his support for the war in Iraq. He is socially a lefty, but conservative on foreign policy issues and a strong Israeli supporter. The Dems throw out a reasonably legitimate VP of the US candidate for a cable TV millionaire? You wanted it, you got it. You got it wrong on this one!
Dumbos scrambling for leadership when Junior Senators are not cutting it!

So Joe was Qualified to be President of the USA in 2000, but not qualified to be Senator of the 2nd smallest State in the Union in 2006? What gives?

"The Dems throw out a reasonably legitimate VP of the US candidate for a cable TV millionaire?"The rats hate for George Bush will be their undoing.
Well that and other things.

There's no chance of a Republican pickup here. I imagine you are right.But ,this race certainly has the potential to get real ugly between Lamont and Lieberman.
Different factions of the Democrat party will be forced to choose sides which helps splinter and anger the Dem's base groups.
This could depress Dem voters in other races and keep the Dems from focusing on one message.
Stranger things have happened.

I feel the same way. A great guy...But not even close to conservative enough. He's one of the most liberal guys around, Iraq war support aside. Of course, if I lived in Conneticut, that might be enough to make me support him. If only to tweak the Democratic nutroots.

"Wrong. The moonbats of the Democrat Party aren't 'the electorate.' "
I agree. Lieberman's defeat at the hands of what is supposedly his own party, indicates just how far "moonbat" the democrats have gone - not the "electorate." It also indicates that the unhinged weirdos and radicals have, indeed, taken real control of the party. We can only hope that most Americans to see these fringe lunatics as what they are, and realize they don't represent "the people" as a whole by a long shot.

This is going to provide some great entertainment in the coming months. I bet there are lessons here for Ricky too.

I'm sorry - the vote was pretty close. It's hardly what this story makes it out to be.

Is the Republican candidate pro-life?
Unsure about that but he is faciing some ethics charges and does not have the chance of that proverbial snowball.

What the hell is it with you two?
Condi is a hot babe, but globalist in nature and with no real conservative credentials other than being pro gun.
Joe is a soft spoken nice guy, by all accounts, but he is a hard core liberal.
Why do you want these two to be the GOP standard bearers?
