I think there's a 50-50 chance that he will withdraw. If his money tightens up, if he's close to even in the polls, look for a big name Dem to attempt to talk him down.
Maybe he'll angle for a cabinet seat in the next administration -- Dem OR Republican? That would be interesting, wouldn't it?

Come on this guy does not even live here(CT). Ned is making waves here and he has alot of support from alot of groups and org. I think he does have a fight ahead of him I really think he stands a better than good chance. And I have to say he may even get a few republican votes too.

This opinion is just that. An opinion and a wish by the conservative paper that they won't lose Lieberman's support. Ann Coulter has her fingers in this paper.

It's over for Lieberman. He forgot to listen to the voter's and no-one will forget the kiss of death. At least you can retire with a hefty pension and great insurance.

When Lieberman ran for VP on Gore's ticket in 2000, he also ran for his senate seat. I think that Lieberman should have stepped down from his senate seat, like Dole did in 1996 when he ran for president.
A lot of conservatives seem to be pulling for Lieberman just to stick it to the DailyKos kiddies, but I for one can't get excited over someone who will vote the liberal line 90+% of the time. It's Lamont's race to lose, but he's got to keep a low profile to avoid making costly gaffes.

Seems to me that it's not about Lamont having his day in the sun, but rather about the citizens of Connecticut speaking their say. I respect Senator Lieberman's courage and conviction. A man of his stature will never lose his voice. It only seems - well - democratic to let the voters have theirs.

Lieberman is a parasite, clinging tenaciously to a job he's already lost. By running as an Independent he hopes to be a spoiler. Over 79% of his own party rejected him and his bogus arguments.
What Lieberman should do is simply switch parties. This shouldn't be difficult since he's a chamelion, anyway. Cheney and Melman and Rove will campaign for him. They're not even supporting the Repugnant challenger. He's one of the boys - he owns $ millions of Halliburton stock and has profitted immensely from his support of the Dumbya dictatorship's serial wars.
People misunderstand why Lieberman lost. He lost because Americans are sickened by career politicians and the corrupt monopoly parties and want change - they want reform and they want a different direction from the destructive path that self-enriching parasites like Lieberman have taken the nation. Lamont has addressed this desire for reform that the People of CT want.

lefty lamont only won by a few thousand votes
this in a hugely liberal dem state
in nov liberman will win in a walk
im really glad to see the loony left hang their hat on this
its a wishful deluded outlook
that will result in republican gains in nov
leaving them to cry and blame black box fixed elections
instead of their own immature misguided anti america politics

Just because his party rejected him doesn't mean voters in the general election will.
Look at the Rs idiocy in Calif. They are a totally conservative party in a liberal state. Result. Bupkis.
Or take my state Illinois. My Oh so conservative State Sen. Syverson got Alan Keyses on the ballot. Bush got 15% more of the total vote than Keyes.
In a RINO state you put RINOs on the ballot.

Just the word that Karl "Puppetmeister" Rove has offered financial support to Nancy Lieberman is enough to show that the people of CT made the right choice in the primary. Lieberman is toast. He may as well enter the dark side completely and join the far right Borg Collective that is today's Repub party.

Republican watching is such fun. I love this support Joe Lieberman movement -- especially after they purged Swartz-Michigan from their ranks and are after Chaffee. Swartz is more conservative than Joe and Chaffee's record is similiar. I wonder where the logic is?

The Party didn't reject Lieberman. The People rejected the Party AND Lieberman. Don't you get it? Repugnants and their sympathizers are spinning this like it's just about Lieberman. It's actually about corrupt monopoly parties and career politicians who perpetuate the corruption.
Lieberman is a Kool Aid peddler who could care less about the US Constitution like his pal, Dumbya. He represents everything that the People of this nation have rejected.
Throw all of the incumbents out and get reformers in - or vote third party. That is the mindset sweeping a nation sickened by the cesspool of Washington politics.

Humor: it's NOT a jewish thing.
Now I've also heard that some Jewishes are being brainwashed by those sneaky rabbis (who have more pipe-curls than Shirley Temple), and as a result, might believe that this movie is somehow anti-Hymie. And since we Evangelical Christians think Mel's new picture is just the neatest thing since sliced room-temperature mayonnaise sandwiches, I'd hate for those people to reach the conclusion that we are not totally fervent in our newfound pretend Jew-loverness. So I hope they trust me when I say, "There's no reason whatsoever for thin-skinned hooknose Christ-killers to worry one iota about this uplifting new cinematic bloodbath." We don't hate them any more than our Lord Jesus, who, of course, is eager to fling them all into Hell.
Thank you.

The current Democratic Party is further to the right than it has been traditionally for the last 80 years. Lets see in the 30's, Roosevelt and the New Deal, Truman brings in the Marshall Plan, Kennedy calls for the Alliance for Progress and starts the Peace Corp, Johnson brings in the Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, starts the Great Society Program and the War on Poverty. Carter greatly limits the freedom of action of the CIA. However, Clinton represents the shift to the right he brought in workfare and globalization. While the progressives have made a certain amount of gains in recent years, it is still the Clinton wing of the party which controls policy.

What are you talking about? How do you have a party that encompasses the definition of liberal, if it isn't filled with liberals?

Luv,
I'm so glad I blocked blanca.
This appears to be an extension of the Leiberman survey to test the water's before spending money on nothing. Joe, give it up, be a hero, support Ned, the voter's choice. No, you may feel a tantrum coming on, you'll get over it. Do what's right by the party, or face an ugly ending.
