Now for Diane...anybody got ideas -- people we can recruit? She, Lieberman and others need to learn that their consituency's voices are more important than their corporate connections!

1. we all know who Lieberman is.

He has a very hight approval rating among those who are eligible to vote for him. He'll win again easily.

2. hmm...i guess i'm too hopeful?

we all know di-fi too. but if there's a reasonable alternative i'm takin' it this time!

3. I don't think that's correct

The numbers most people cite as biblical truth contain a lot of Republicans who, if I'm not mistaken, aren't eligible to vote in the Democratic primary.

4. he doesn't need the republican vote at this point

The last numbers I saw broke down Democratic and Republican voters.

Dems - 59% approval
GOP - 75% approval

5. Unfortunately for him, he is not running on the Likud List

Holy Joe will lose!

BTW, if Holy Joe were running on the Likud List, he would trail his Kadima and Labour opponents in the polls.

The only place for Joe to go is to the GOP, that's where is soul is at.

7. LOL!

I'll make wager with you.

Holy Joe wins. I feel any bet against someone whose position is based on raw emotion is a safe bet.

8. "The only place for Joe to go is to the GOP". I couldn't agree more

If anyone is counterproductive to Democrats ever getting some unity, it's Joe Lieberman. If he doesn't join the GOP on his own, he should be booted out of the party!

6. i keep hoping that Barbara Lee

will oppose DiFi, but if wwe haven't heard anything by now, it's not likely. In spite of her failings, DiFi has a strong base.

9. Akaka has one to

Ed Case has decided to run against him. Threw the stalwarts of the Democratic Party in Hawaii into tizzy.
