33. I do not agree.

If he loses in the primary, that's it. That's why not one single prominent Democrat is going to support him if he loses the primary. They are *all* going to back Lamont because he would then be the Democratic Party nominee for the Senate seat from CT.

Forgive my upcoming profanity...

A Senate seat is *NOT* a fucking entitlement. There are procedures set out by the state parties and the election commissions by which candidates are vetted so that the election is an orderly affair. Incumbency has no fucking special place in that process. If the incumbent loses in the primary he or she has no damned claim to the nomination, and there are no procedures by which an incumbent can call for a re-do.

Joe Lieberman is perverting the rules and laws because of some smarmy claim of entitlement. People don't like that. The CT voters aren't liking it either. He was ahead in all the polls for the primary before he started fucking with the system. But he couldn't leave well enough alone. Now, if he loses the primary it will be his own fucking fault. People are *really* pissed at him for his arrogance.

Joe is perverting the process for his own selfish desires. Up to now, I was willing to let Lieberman be Lieberman. Now, he has put me utterly and completely against him. He deserves nothing but obscurity and derision.
