Hye they couldn't beat Bush nor pick up seats in midterm elections thus far so they took it out on Liberman. The irony is delicious!

>>Rice/Lieberman in 2008?<<

No freakin way - Joe's a nice guy and I like him but check his voting record on everything from unions to abortion - he's a nice guy but no conservative.

Soon, Democrats hope, it will be Bush's turn,

Espo keeps forgetting that Bush is not running again.

Let the Koss Kids celebrate while they can.

Long term I think this might be good for the U.S.

This bodes ill for Hillary to pass muster in the primaries.Also the distinct possibility of one less Democrat in the Senate if Lieberman wins as an Independent or "gasp" the Republican can win after a dirty and long race splits the Dem's votes enough for a slim win.

In his heart Joe Lieberman is still a democrat. He will vote for and support the democrat leadership even as they toss him under the bus!

>>Is Rice? {conservative} <<

I don't know.... I know she's smart and she's loyal but so far she has always represented the President's positions, not necessarily her own.

The MSM is acting as though Lamont won by a landslide but the way I read it and the way the MSM is really writing it, 48% of the Democrats believe in the Iraq mission.

Rice/Lieberman in 2008

If either of them is on the ticket I'll do what I do when McCain is up for re-election, VOTE LIBERTARIAN!

They tried to make this race a referendum on Bush. But if it was Lieberman got more votes from Democrats than Bush did amoung the entire electorate in 2004.

If the Bush "standin" got 48 percent of the Democratic vote, how much of the Republican and Independent vote would Bush need to win Connecticut today?

But Bush lost Connecticut 54 to 44 with 2 percent going to third party candidates in 2004. If in fact Lieberman was a Bush stand in Bush should win Connecticut in a race today by at least 55 percent.

And the MSM says anti war is a winner. But Anti War can barely win half the Democrat votes. It surely would do worse among Independents and Republicans.

There's no chance of a republican pickup here.

Clearly written top to bottom far ahead of time, before Lieberman strode in front of cameras to launch his INDEPENDENT re-election campaign as incumbent Senator from Connecticut.

I think this is hugh. Seriously. (couldn't say it)

If Joe plays his cards right, he could tip the Democrat party on its pointy head. And start a new American political party.

I hope he does.

I dunno. A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged. Joey just got mugged.

The Republicans won't win there but it sure is fun watching the Rats eat their own.

It was an eviction notice, served by an electorate

Wrong. The moonbats of the Democrat Party aren't "the electorate."

"There's no chance of a republican pickup here."




But won't Lieberman and Lamont split, say, 60% of the vote (call it 30-30), while the Pubbie gets 40%?

Is the Republican candidate pro-life?

If not is the GOP candidate for partial birth infanticide as Lieberman is.
