I said that it should be obvious at this point that Lieberman will knife the Dems in the back whether he wins or loses this race. I said that I contribute to Sebate candidates through their websites because I feel more confident of MY political judgemnet than that of the national Dems at this point. The fundraiser sais she understood: I think she’s been hearing lots of replies like mine. GO NED, GO SHERROD, GO CLAIRE, HAROLD, JIM,and BOB!</p> I got a call from the DSCC tonitght and I told the fundraiser that I would not give money to them because they were ignoring Lamont.

Schlesinger simply asserted a non-sequitur. “This (North Korea working on a bomb) has been going on for 18 years. The same period of time you’ve been in the Senate, Mr. Lieberman.”

Now, I’m sorry but that’s simply stupid, and if you see it othewise you’re simply being blinded by your passionate opposition to Lieberman – who, I agree, should be gone. However, if he doesn’t go now, we can work against him after we take back Congress.

That said, I hope that Schlesinger scored some votes against Lieberman, and that he turns the election to Lamont. Good luck!
