Who's running against Lieberman?

[butterfly77]

since he's a undercover Republican like Zell Miller.

1. When I saw the state by state polls: Lieberman was running pretty

high...so I guess they like him in CT.

2. bah, im a Dem so I self censored my reply

:( its against the rules to say what i wanted to

[emulatorloo]

ADA rates Zell lifetime voting record 0, Lieberman 73

Not sure they are the same.

3. I'm in CT and heard a indie might run

joementum will win though, his poll numbers are very high. still, i'd work for and vote for an indie if they were to the Left of joe (knowing it would be out of conviction rather than them winning). sucks to have a sure thing dem in a blue state when he's just a republican playing dress up.

4. rather amazing that after all the bushasskissing

Joe has engaged in, he still has supporters. Doesn't say much for them except their ignorance.

9. $$$$$$$$$$

that's what keeps him popular in this wealthy state (also, it is amazing how far name recognition goes)

[dennisnyc]

6. Focus on Joe is logical but maybe not strategic. There are 3 repugs in

the House of Reps from Conn. Getting them out is maybe a better focus.

[julialnyc]

7. for sure

Ct is a tricky state.Although blue it has some VERY red areas (I happen to live in one). I'll definitely try to help out!

[dennisnyc]

10. Have challengers been identified? People from nyc may be willing to help.

Loads of us went to PA for Kerry... I think the House of Reps can be ours in '06. Remember 94? They took loads of seats.
Even stupidhead Joe Scarborough said the '06 election is looking like it will be a '94 style reversal. :)

5. My (Dem) mom lives in CT and hates him with a passion

Hope that makes you feel better. :)

8. we as a nation would be better off without lieberman as an official

[ed murrow]

11. Cut him a little slack

I used to hate the guy quite a bit

But I have met so many great people who have worked for him and he provides our party with nice stability.

Don't get me wrong he drove me fing nuts in early 2000-2002 but he is a Good Democrat...and there are much greater evils who need are attention

[dennisnyc]

12. Three "much greater evils who need our attention."

Shays, Simmons and Johnson
Three votes for Tom Delay every day in the House

[depakid]

13. Nice stability of losing!

over and over.

Keep people like Liebermann in the party and stay irrelevant. Yay!

[butterfly77]

14. What is going on to get rid of Norm Coleman or ..

Ted stevens of Alaska ted the temper tantrum man.

[dennisnyc]

18. Isn't Norm Coleman the one Al Franken is going to take on?

[WI_DEM]

15. I don't think any major democrat will challenge him

he polls very well in CT.

16. LOL!!!.......Please dear god have someone else step forward.
