If Lieberman runs as a repuke who do you think wins the general?

[KamaAina]

In case you weren't around yesterday, there are now rumors that the CT repukes may dump Schlesinger and offer their ballot line to Joementum!

edit: Freudian typo of the year: I had his name as "Liebernam" in the header!

[LincolnMcGrath]

1. Lamont: Joementum has a side job now anyway!

[gademocrat7]

3. That is a disgusting picture.

I may forgo dinner. Lamont is my man.

[KingFlorez]

2. He's not going to run as a Republican

That's a dirty rumor created by desperate Lamont supporters

[MercutioATC]

4. You're correct. He's going to run as the "Connecticut for Lieberman" party

candidate.

How desperate do you have to be to not only ignore the results of your own party's primary, but then start your own party to run in the general?

[KingFlorez]

5. He's not desperate

There is no law against running without your party's nomination. He's being pushed out by ideological purists, so that's why he might run without the nomination.

[MercutioATC]

9. He's desperate enough to form his own political party...

...in case he loses the primary.

Of course it's not against the law. It does, however, say two things about the man:

1) He doesn't respect his own party's choice of candidates as determined by the primary.

2) He's willing to run as a candidate for a completely different political party that he created simply to exploit a loophole in the system that would put him closer to the top of the ballot by doing so.


...and let's not whine about him being "pushed out by idealogical purists". He's being pushed out by the Democratic voters of the state of Connecticut. If he was a member of the Democratic Party, he would respect the wishes of the Democratic voters in his state.

6. I, unlike you, live in CT.

I am on my towns Dem. Town Comm., and NO that is NOT a "dirty rumor started by desperate Lamont supporters"!!! Where do you get this SHIT pray tell?????

[KingFlorez]

7. There is no credible confirmation he will do this

So I believe Lamont supporters made it up to make Joe look bad

[JanusAscending]

8. Well, time will tell , won't it?

We'll just wait and see which one of us is right, because I refuse to play your games!!

11. There was a blurb in today's New Haven Register

that says Joe WON'T run as a repuke. I will try and find the link.

10. Lie-vermin cant win as a Repuke, he give the election to them by splitting

the ticket... and will get a BIG paying appointment somewhere like ambassador to Israel
