Ned Lamont is supposed to have a six point lead in the polls--not enough to overcome the corrupt and dirty practices Lieberman supporters are liable to pull at the polls to protect him (yes, Democrats do these things to each other, too, one of the reasons why they didn't scream so loud when those elections were stolen in Florida and Ohio).
But I hope that skunk bites the dust--total repudiation of the sell out Clinton Wing of the Party.
Any of y'all in Connecticut vote for Lamont (both early and often) |

I can't stand Joe Lieberman. There's just something about him that gives me the creeps. But to be honest, I'd rather have anyone for POTUS besides Bush. What a nightmare. I'd take Lieb over Bush any day. |

Chris,
Just how much did dude think he'd be able to get away with kissing GOP a$$ before the foks in CT said "Enuff, already!"?
I agree: Good bye and good RIDDANCE to Lieberman and the REST of the duplicitious Clinton cronies. |

Nice posts. I thought I was the only one who felt that way. I really don't like the man either. I think he is a wannabe Republican hack in disguise. He is a rubber stamp for the GOP. If that is your political leanings, fine. But get out of the Dem party and honesty align yourself with the party that reflects your political ideology. Stop fakin' the funk! |

Lieberman is a boot-lickin turn coat who aligns himself with people he perceives to be in positions of power. He also seems to be one of those Jews who support the war in Iraq because they think it's in Israel's best interest. |

Chris,
I know almost nothing about Lieberman anymore, so that's why I'm not posting.
I did like him a lot YEARS ago, because of his wife, but I didn't honestly know much about his politics. I LOVED that he was an "Orthodox" Jew instead of the garden variety American types.

Like Ntfs, I also believe he is actually a Repug masquerading as a Democrat. He's one of these closeted Zionist/extremist types who puts Israel before his own country. Seeing that, then perhaps if Al Gore DID get elected to the White House in 2000, then things would not have been that much better than they are now--maybe, in some ways, worse. At least today, people are more inclined to question their politicians and the whole American political system than they were 15 or even 10 years ago. |

Lieberman Digs In
by ARI MELBER
[posted online on August 8, 2006]
Edgewood Magnet School was buzzing this morning, because it is the polling station for Connecticut's embattled Senator Joe Lieberman. New Haven residents had to squeeze past a throng of reporters, photographers and aggressive campaign supporters just to vote, which became nearly impossible when Lieberman arrived around 10 am. Gripping hands and kissing poll workers as he moved towards a row of voting booths, the incumbent sounded like a challenger. "I believe there is going to be a great uprising in Connecticut today," he declared, citing recent polls that suggested a "turnaround" of support for his re-election. When a voter embraced the senator in a doorway and defended him as "no Johnny-come-lately," Lieberman proudly told the reporters, "that's the voice of the people!" Apparently both campaigns now agree that people-powered politics has hit Connecticut.
After casting votes with his wife and daughter, Lieberman stood before a large press gaggle to make the case Connecticut voters have heard all summer. He fights hard for the state, votes his conscience and remains an optimist, he explained, while quickly dismissing questions about his potential independent run in the event of a loss today. Responding to a question from The Nation about how the stiff primary challenge by anti-war candidate Ned Lamont would change his conduct if re-elected, Lieberman rejected the premise that voters were looking for him to change. "I've always worked hard for them," he said. "I am always going to be accessible to the people of Connecticut."
Other voters at the polling station disagreed. "I think he's arrogant," said Thomas McManus, a 56-year-old dentist who voted for Lamont. McManus said people he knew in the neighborhood were not surprised by the strong challenge to Lieberman, "because he's been speaking as a Republican for years." Down the block, Keith Groom, a 48-year-old lift-bridge operator explained that while he had voted "every other time" for Lieberman, this year was different because of the war. "I don't even know what Ned Lamont stands for, but he's gotta be better than Lieberman," he added.
There were Lieberman supporters outside the school, waving "Vote Joe" placards and occasionally tussling with a young man holding a large sign that read "Worst Senator." Some voters emerged proud to share their support for one of New Haven's most famous residents. Victoria Morse, a 64-year-old teacher, said she was "voting for her neighbor" because Lieberman "had done a good job so far." She also said she trusted him to fight a war on terror that was "not just in one location," but with "cells in this country." Other Democrats sounded similar themes. Sidney Cahn, a Yale physicist, said the primary challenge increased his "resolve" to support Lieberman. While Cahn is concerned about the war, he said the US should definitely not "cut and run."
After separating himself from the crush of reporters inside the school, Lieberman departed through a side entrance where "Joe's Tomorrow Tour Bus" waited. But one more member of the Fourth Estate was planted in the senator's path. Hardball host Chris Matthews stood alone on the school steps--it must have been a breath of fresh Beltway air for Lieberman, who gets much better coverage in the DC area code. The hardball question came fast. Matthews asked whether Lieberman agreed with Edmund Burke, the eighteenth-century British political philosopher, that representatives should try to vote their conscience, rather than discern the will of the people. Lieberman heartily agreed, stopping on the steps say he tries to "do what is right," which is why "people are coming back" to him as the primary campaign closes.
After bounding the steps of his campaign bus, Lieberman turned and held a thumbs-up frozen in the air for the cameras. One photographer yelled out for a different gesture: "Peace sign! Peace sign!" And Lieberman obliged, briefly flashing the symbol of his detractors, who, like the majority of Americans, want an honorable end to a deeply flawed war.
