Lieberman is a team player for the Democrats, and is doing all he can to help them win. You see, if Joe hadn’t hired Dangerstein, a real Democrat might have. With an idiot like that running a Senate campaign, some Democrat could have been in big trouble. So i for one would like to offer a hearty thanks to Joe Lieberman.</p> I am sick and tired of people not giving Lieberman his due.

I don’t get it. Why are you attacking Lieberman when your hero Big Dork– uh, Big Dog, had this to say on Larry King tonight:

I don’t have the same view of this as some people do. My view is Connecticut is an unmitigated blessing for the Democrats because Lieberman has said if he wins he’s going to vote with us to organize the Senate.

Don’t you get it? It’s win-win situation, like NAFTA!

a little late to the party ;)

I believed this somewhat as well… at least until sometime just after the primary. However, now that his cover has been blown (that Joe’s really a Republican in Democrat clothing) I believe he just may decide to return to the mother ship and possibly may choose to caucus with the wingers should he win.

Oh, and TREX… thanks for yet another lunch-time laugh (people nearby are beginning to wonder about the spontaneous laughing though).

Am finishing up a post for you guys on it. Despite all the horrible national news in the headlines of late, I think we lose sight sometimes of the great work that a lot of the individual candidates are doing. And I wanted to spotlight a few ads for discussion this morning for you guys — and talk a bit about who is doing something right for a change with some of them.</p> <p>I’m a bit behind on news due to Fi being sick, so I’m catching back up this morning with you guys on a few issues. When we were at the Clinton meeting on the 12th, we talked a bit about the need for leadership on a number of issues, and I told him that McCain, Graham and Warner were going to cave on this torture bill, despite all of McCain’s experience with mistreatment first hand — and I’m disgusted that I was right that political calculation would win out over principle. SIGH But I need more coffee to be anything but pissed off about this — pragmatism and analysis require more caffeine than I have had as yet this morning. *g*</p> NJ at 260 — I spent several hours reviewing a buttload of political ads last night after Fi went to bed.

Good to see you back at the ‘lake. I’ve been truly disheartened the past few days [see 230 above]. is there any good news out there, besides Fiona feeling better?
