I don't know that Lieberman will win his seat easily, but I think he can win it. Since CT has so many independents, that makes me think that they don't wish to be drug down by party partisans. Otherwise, they would identify a party. While Moore and his ilk may enjoy a season for their ego, they should perhaps heed the era of McGovern and what those anti-war zealots did to their party.

I don't know if Lieberman can win as an independant, but I do think it will free him from pandering to the Democrat Party and Dean's maniacs. I wondered why he was using Mad Maxine as a target, but it might be part of a plan to show just how crazy the Dems have become. It could work!

McGovern and what those anti-war zealots did to their party.

McGovern and his ilk led the party to electoral disaster, but they still had firm control of Congress, both houses IINM, maybe even filibuster proof. They proceeded to hound the Vice-President and President out of office, hand Southeast Asia over to genocidal dictators. Now we have control of Congress, and we need better margins. I hope they continue to commit suicide under our walls.

Prediction -- Both Lieberman and Tom Delay will be returning to Congress in January.

Lieberman will win easily, and the reason is simple. The political spectrum in CT is different than the rest of the country's. I lived the first 35 years of my life in CT, and the Republicans there are different from most of the rest of the country. Movement Republicans tend to be marginalized. Because of CT's industrial and ethnic past, the some of the Democrats are different from what you would find in Oregon or Maryland.

Lieberman will win easily because he will have the mature Dem vote, an overwhelming majority of the Independent vote, and a sizeable chunk of pubbies. He is a smart pol, and will know how to run the IND line to his advantage. His last round of commercials, a redux of the '88 Weicker the Bear ads, were as moch a prequel to an IND campaign as they were an attempt to pull out the primary win.

Weicker has already endorsed Lamont. Lamont will go down big.
