#1 Lieberman is the only Demo Senator in the NE whose hand I'd shake. The rest of them I wouldn't spit on if they were on fire. That means Lieberman will probably lose the primary because his party seems hellbent on being all-idiotarian all the time. Ol' Joe just doesn't fit in with that as easily as he should, according to Kos and the kiddies, so he's got to go.

They won't say this out loud but you know they're thinking it's probably because he's a JOOOOOOOOO and the Mossad owns him.

#2 "How can we pull out of there?" asked Bennett Millstein, a former chairman of the Bloomfield Democratic Town Committee. "We can't just leave the people to slaughter each other."

Why not? That's what your party did in Vietnam and Cambodia in the 70s. Oh, that's right, that information went down the old 1984 'memory hole'[tm]. BTW, how's Big Brother these days?

#3 Love when they eat their own, especially the young going after the adults. I'm sure Ned will be as big a jerk as Joe isn't....Goodbye Truman Democrats

#4 Lieberman is overshadowing the governor's race and taking money and attention away from three closely contested House races in Connecticut that many strategists consider crucial to the Democrats' majority hopes

That Karl Rove, he's such a smart guy. He cracked the code on how easy it is to round sheep into the slaughter pen.

#5 The KosKid/Progressives of the party are running things. The Times-Mirror owned Hartford Courant has jumped onto the Anti-Lieberman bandwagon.

Meanwhile the state fights to keep the few defense industries they have, population is dropping, state-jobs, c*sinos, and propping up Hartford and Bridgeport are the only growing industries.

And all the while, they wonder why things are going to sh*t there.

#6 Lieberman will win and primary and the general election. Much ado about nothing.

#7 Yeah - just like he won every other time he ran. You are dreaming in dreamland.

#8 He did win every time he ran for the Senate and any other state and local office in Connecticut.

#9 oh...um right. Senate race. Guess I should have read the article before commenting. Doh.

Yeah, that's one bad habit; at first, I took a real long time to read each and every article (granted, there was less of them back then), but now, I glance through most of them, and go straight to the comments. My bad.

me too. Rantburg comments are usually more enlightening than the articles themselves.

#12 Lieberman is an intelligent, thoughtful person, who does what he thinks is right. The Kos kiddies can't stand that - he's not "toeing the Democratic line". Joe knows the current "Democratic Party line" leads to the unemployment line, and he's not buying their BS. I respect Joe Lieberman - the only Democrat in the Senate I can say that about, after Zell Miller retired.

#13 I hope Lieberman loses in the primary - I'd pull the the Republicans to back him in that case. Yeah, he'd be a RINO. But not as bad as most - more in line with Regan-ish R values than Chaffee or Snowe are. Or even as an independent.

#14 Chaffee might well lose this time.

#15 As a former CT yankee, I'd suggest he jump parties. That would hurt the Kos Kids severely. I hope the Senate Repubs are already talking to him about that.
