If I were Ned, I would shoot a commercial that portrays Joe telling a lie in the debate, then presents the truth; Joe telling another lie, another rebuttal; back and forth a few times.

eureka at 460–lmao egregious what did your hubby think?

He truly didn’t know which candidate I supported. Son, who is interested in politics in the future, rolling eyes.

lindyh at 358 egregious, i hope you took that walk.

I did. Walked thru the forest for half hour. Thought of nothing except how green and beautiful it was. Then back to work.

Need to be in touch with beauty and truth in order to fight for it.

if one is an informed voter and watcher of politicians, lieberman lied repeatedly and whined. he lost. maybe the disenfranchised and uninformed will listen to the spin, we have to get the truth out.

Christy — Thanks for the debate info. Now that you say it, it makes sense given the brevity of the remaining primary cycle.

Here’s hoping that when Ned next debates “Plan B” Lieberman as the duly elected DEMOCRATIC candidate from Connecticut he will have spiffed up his delivery. Again, I think he did himself some good tonight, but his style needs some sharpening and he needs more specifics in his rebuttal.

I see a new thread has started, so I assume this may be one of the last posts here. But thanks again, Christy, for the info on the debate schedule.

“OK, so if you were a completely clueless voter watching the debate, what would you think? Seriously?”

Well this canadian is almost clueless, but I’m pretty sure I heard Leiberman indicate twice that his seniority would help him pork-barrel better than any other senator, that would lose my vote purely as a matter of ethics. (if he had had it before)

MrsMarks — I think this is the only scheduled debate. Lieberman would only agree to one, was my understanding — although it’s always subject to change, I suppose.

lisa, you want to sell us on Lieberman’s superiority, you’re going to have to try a different tack.

If that was the best that 18 years experience and a VP candidacy could produce, Joe’s toast.

Whereas Ned can only get better with practice.

My .02

Ned did fine, better towards the end.

Joe is a consummate pro (A lying sack of shit)

My take is that Ned will DEFINATELY win the primary now. He made it clear he’s a base candidate.

The general is where Joe is placing his bets, hence all the “across the aisle” rhetoric.

Sue @ 5:22 pm (#515) – I saw Lieberman’s tendency to interrupt as rudeness, but I’m not sure how popular an opinion that might be among debate watchers.
