Lieberman's Republican problem

With the ragtag Lamont campaign at his heels, the incumbent senator's biggest worry may be a long-shot GOP candidate siphoning votes.

    Lieberman and CT "Dems"

    I do not understand how any person who calls himself or herself a Democrat in the state of Connecticut can possibly THINK of voting for ANYONE who has done the kinds of things Lieberman has done. First, he "broke the rules" to run against his own party's candidate. Now, he will not even pledge to caucus with his own party if he is elected after his "spoiler candidacy."

    Do you understand, Democratic voters of Connecticut, that it may well come down to ONE caucus vote for the Democrats to take over the Senate? And, from what I can tell from this article, it looks as if Joe Lieberman could well be "sold to the highest bidder." Lieberman could blackmail his way to almost any Senate position he wanted to get his "Caucus" vote.

    This is the man who was given one of the highest honors his party can bestow: he was asked to became our candidate for the Vice-President of the United States. And, now, he wants to play "Let's Make a Deal" to caucus with us in our efforts to make sure we take the Senate back?

    Kick him to the curb, Connecticut Democrats. That is where he deserves to be!
