An article by Kevin Rennie in the Republican Hotline Blogometer claims that Joe Lieberman is currently:
1) gloating because when he called Senate Democrats and demanded they give no money to Ned Lamont, they said "okay" and didn't;
2) piled on John Kerry last week out of spite;
3) ordered his paid "supporters" to swarm around and shout "fuck you" to "Lamont and suburban matron Lt. Governor candidate Mary Glassman."
No matter what happens tomorrow (although I agree with Kos -- the excitement on the ground in CT looks damn good) -- every minute I got to spend fighting that pig Lieberman and trying to keep him out of the Senate was a minute of my life well spent, and I'm grateful to everyone in the Lamont campaign for giving me a chance to do so.
Tim Tagaris says much the same thing over at Kos.

OMG! I got the Zero! Woo-hoo!
While I’m here, everyone who’s gotten robo-called, please, please, please report to dKos, ASAP! They’ve made a link with reporters who are dying to jump on this story. The more info the better!

I’ll be sick if Lieberman wins, however, win or loose we need to have long memories. Nov.8, Blue America for ‘08 needs to begin.
Wonder if I can get to five posts, all by my lonesome?
If I do, then I’m gonna post my tale of how I knew the Republicans were in trouble–three months ago.
Keep fighting!
Never give up!
Never surrender!
Former Senator Joe Lieberman
Senator-elect Ned Lamont
First it exists in imagination.
Then in will.
And, with hard work and the wind at our backs, tomorrow… in reality.
And if it doesn’t happen, at least you will have no regrets that you left anything unspent.
That mutt’s grown since last we saw him. Time for a worm shot.

Scary story about the Lieberthing’s prospective power in a split Senate and his (probably imminent) party switch:
http://kfmb.com/stories/story.69022.html
It says the obvious, but it’s still disturbing to see it in print. The thought that we could “win” the Senate and then have this loser throw it back to the dark side is.. well.. nauseating.
Jane - Thank you for bringing us all into the Leiberlight for an opportunity to moon his *******.
Steve- From AR, is that you? wb
LJ/Aquaria @ 3
So, will the networks be reporting this story after the election? Or will Katie, Brian or Charlie have the cojones to actually report some real breaking news from the fact-based world today? One of ‘em could get the scoop on the others…anybody holdin’ their breath?
This is a helluva lot more important than Kerry’s flub or Haggard’s ass.
Last poll from Conn. (polimetrix), Lieberman-48, Lamont-44, Schlesinger-9. I think Lamont is going to do it.
This I called a dude I work with in Connecticut who has the libertarian streak and asked him who he was voting for. He said Lamont, without hesitation.
This was a shocker.
I thought for sure he’d be voting for Schlesinger, if nothing else just to “waste” his vote.
Jane– I have despised Joe for years now and I cannot thank you and FDL enough for stomping on the P.I.G. that is that smarmy, warbling, incumbent, lame and UNAMERICAN Joe.
I came here for Fitz and the Wilsons, I stayed ’cause of your and Christy’s fierce loyalty to our country and my fellow patriots here…

BREAKING NEWS - Sources inside the Lieberman camp say that if Joe Lieberman should lose the mid-term election, after much whining and crying, he will form his own senate. ;)
Hm. Edit not working? Here’s the comment by Tink over at raising kaine:
Did anyone just hear David Shuster give his report on Tucker Carlson’s show on MSNBC?
He said that the RNC has put out a “flyer” - distributed heavily in the black areas - that makes it look like the election has been called off and there is no need for them to vote. It has the Republican Committee’s name on it!
The Webb campaign is filing a complaint with the Justice Department and about this about some fraudulent phone calling. People calling saying are from Webb campaign and misreprenting the facts about whether or not the person they are calling can vote. Told some they would be arrested if they voted.
We need the local media’s all over the state to pick this up.

Holy fucking shit…
We’ve known they did crap like this, but never this blatantly.
we need a Lamont in Illinois to take on our own Joe-Bama - DLC faux progressive putting a cap on the aspirations of anyone more progressive than Hillary in this solid blue state.
Am having trouble editing more than once and also with refreshing and loading. Endless stall to refresh and have to close and reopen the blog again.
Amen, Jane! I feel the time I spent in CT working on the Lamont campaign was well worth it, and more! Lieberman is pond scum.
I will be absolutely crushed, deflated, depressed, sad, horrified and all those other rotten descriptives if Ned does not win. He HAS to do it. Connecticut, step up to the plate and hit one for all of us!!! Joe is what is so wrong in DC.
As for Robo calls - I have been getting Republican ones for their side. The reason for that is that I crossed over and voted in the Rethug primary last spring to try to head off an assualt on our state lege person from the far, far, far right radicals. I just got a call from Rudy Giuliani asking me to vote for his good friend Rick Perry.
Any Dem ‘08 presidential hopeful who hasn’t campaigned actively for Ned will have a tough time in the primaries.
This sounds like a classic Rovian bank shot.

Victory is sweet but some measure has already been achieved in smoking out DINO Joe. There is nothing independent about kissing Republican ass. And no matter how many votes Joe gets, no one is buying his “I am the answer to partisan gridlock in Washington” pap.

Just got another Robo Call — this time from Henry Cuellar (DINO) asking me to vote for him. I live one block outside his district. What was weird was that the recording was not audible enough for me to hear his name until he said it the third time. I thought at first he was saying Henry Bonilla. I am picking up on calls caller ID has no identity for in order to listen to all the election calls. The one that came from Rudy had a call number 123-456-7890. Wasn’t that clever?
They’ve been masking who they are with changed numbers like that.

I mentioned this on the last thread. On CNN today a CT journalist described Joes position on the ballot as down low.

And if the Republicans win, hide the underage males. Which is worse, again?

My students are out doing an activity. I’m dipping in during my class period.
I’m not surprised at this, but I think Chuck is doing that to place public pressure on JOe to keep his word. Chuck and the gang are very nervous indeed that Joe will sell them out. This is a sign of fear, not confidence.

I need Atrios to answer another simple question:
If Joe were to betray Schumer (won’t happen, Ned’s gonna win, but bear with me), will Schumer blame his own misjudgment or blame us as Lamont’s supporters?
Atrios like to play tee ball, so there it is.

Note that Schumer didn’t bring up the voter suppression efforts of the GOP. Question - how long will it take for CNN to even mention the robocalls and criminal flyers in VA?

From Chris Cilizza’s column, the Worst Challengers of 2006:
Ned Lamont (D-Conn.) — General Election: Lamont ran a close-to-flawless primary campaign to defeat Sen. Joe Lieberman in August. That victory turned him into an icon in progressive politics — a distinction that clearly went to the first time candidate’s head. Lamont wrongly assumed that Lieberman would drop his candidacy and then, once it was clear the incumbent was committed to a third-party bid, the Lamont camp moved too slowly to define the terms of the debate. The result? Lieberman effectively turned tomorrow’s vote into a referendum on Lamont’s readiness for political office rather than a debate over the incumbent’s controversial position on the war in Iraq. Polling shows Lieberman with a double-digit lead.
Congratulations Jane
Congratulations and WELL DONE Ned Lamont (D-CT).
I am sticking with my prediction from the era of “Lieberman continues his commanding lead in the polls” –
http://www.firedoglake.com/200...../#comments ,
and I am especially looking forward to the Democratic candidate winning the senate seat being vacated by Joe Lieberman.
This has been a truly inspirational campaign both in terms of supporting Ned Lamont who has shown himself to be a courageous leader and in terms of who we’ve been campaigning against — an incumbent who has betrayed every trust placed in him.
Thank you Ned.

Snork!
Just got an e-mail heads up that the Webb campaign has filed a voter suppression complaint with the DoJ. The GOP/Allen campaign/RNCC has been targeting African-American voters telling them they will be arrested if they go and vote and/or worse. Gah!
Pachacutec @ 78
Blame us is my guess. We’re EVIL!!! ;)
And I agree with your earlier comment. Schumer’s trying to restate the agreement that Joe made privately to the public (and remind Joe of what he said). But we know that Joe doesn’t care about the deals he made…
No matter what happens in the Conn. race we will KICK G.O.P ASS TOMORROW. I know everyone here is as nervous as I am, and righfully so, there will no doubt be all sorty of dirty tricks, etc., but I really think that so much has changed since 200 that we will have a VERY good day tomorrow. These faith based frauds are FINISHED. They finally cried “fire” one too many times, not enough people are buying their act anymore. VOTE!!!!!!! We will Prevail!!
Gnome at 86 — I’m on my own, I think. At least, no one told me if I get a hair and wardrobe person. Maybe I should have asked?
Gnome, I’m in the ATL.
Spent some time out there in undergrad at the largest southern baptist university in the world near Crawdad, TX.
Christy - the airport delay is just a republican tactic to keep you off the air because they don’t DARE let you have your voice heard loud and clear. It is a CONSPIRACY.
Well, anyway, hope you make it in safe and sound and obviously full of coffee extraordinare.
Talk about Bizarro world - the New York Republicans are complaining that the national GOP ignores them and the New York Democrats are ignoring the will of Democratic party’s national base of supporters.
Hillary and Chuckles are worthless - why, why, why? I’m in New Hampshire and don’t understand the Ct./NY dynamic - is their support of Liebermann all about Israel? Is it about denting the power of the netroots? What is it? I truly don’t understand.

HOW THEY STOLE THE MID-TERM ELECTION
by Greg Palast
for The Guardian (UK), Comment
Monday November 6, 2006
Here’s how the 2006 mid-term election was stolen.
Note the past tense. And I’m not kidding.
And shoot me for saying this, but it won’t be stolen by jerking with the touch-screen machines (though they’ll do their nasty part). While progressives panic over the viral spread of suspect computer black boxes, the Karl Rove-bots have been tunneling into the vote vaults through entirely different means.
For six years now, our investigations team, at first on assignment for BBC TV and the Guardian, has been digging into the nitty-gritty of the gaming of US elections. We’ve found that November 7, 2006 is a day that will live in infamy. Four and a half million votes have been shoplifted. Here’s how they’ll do it, in three easy steps:
Theft #1: Registrations gone with the wind.
On January 1, 2006, while America slept off New Year’s Eve hangovers, a new federal law crept out of the swamps that has devoured 1.9 million votes, overwhelmingly those of African-Americans and Hispanics. The vote-snatching statute is a cankerous codicil slipped into the 2002 Help America Vote Act — strategically timed to go into effect in this mid-term year. It requires every state to reject new would-be voters whose identity can’t be verified against a state verification database.
Sounds arcane and not too threatening. But look at the numbers and you won’t feel so fine. About 24.3 million Americans attempt to register or re-register each year. The New York University Law School’s Brennan Center told me that, under the new law, Republican Secretaries of State began the year by blocking about one in three new voters.
How? To begin with, Mr. Bush’s Social Security Administration has failed to verify 47% of registrants. After appeals and new attempts to register, US Elections Assistance Agency statistics indicate 1.9 million would-be voters will still find themselves barred from the ballot on Tuesday.
But don’t worry: those holding passports from their ski vacations to Switzerland are doing just fine. And that’s the point. It’s not the number of voters rejected, it’s their color. For example, California’s Republican Secretary of State Bruce McPherson figured out how to block 40% of registrants, mostly Hispanics. In a rare counter-move, Los Angeles, with a Hispanic mayor, contacted these citizens, “verified” them and got almost every single one back on the rolls. But throughout the rest of the West, new Hispanics remain victims of the “Jos Crow” treatment.
In hotly contested Ohio, Kenneth Blackwell, Secretary of State and the Republican’s candidate for Governor, remains voter-rejection champ — partly by keeping the rejection criteria a complete secret.
Theft #2: Turned Away - the ID game
A legion of pimple-faced Republicans with Blackberries loaded with lists of new voters is assigned to challenge citizens in heavily Black and Hispanic(i.e. Democratic) precincts to demand photo ID that perfectly matches registration data.
Sounds benign, but it’s not. The federal HAVA law and complex new ID requirements in states like New Mexico will easily allow the GOP squads to triple the number of voters turned away. Rather than deny using these voter suppression tactics, Republican spokesmen are claiming they are “protecting the integrity of the vote.”
I’ve heard that before. In 2004, we got our hands on fifty confidential internal memos from the files of the Republican National Committee. Attached to these were some pretty strange spreadsheets. They called them “caging lists” — and it wasn’t about zoo feeding times. They were lists (70,000 for Florida alone) of new Black and Jewish voters — a very Democratic demographic — to challenge on Election Day. The GOP did so with a vengeance: In 2004, for the first time in half a century, more than 3.5 million voters were challenged on Election Day. Worse, nearly half lost their vote: 300,000 were turned away for wrong ID; 1.1 million were allowed a “provisional” ballot — which was then simply tossed out.
Tomorrow, new federal ID requirements and a dozen new state show-me-your-ID laws will permit the GOP challenge campaign to triple their 300,000 record to nearly one million voters blocked.
Theft #3: Votes Spoiled Rotten
The nasty little secret of US elections is that three million ballots are cast in national elections but not counted — 3,600,380 not counted in 2004 according to US Election Commission stats. These are votes lost because a punch card didn’t punch (its chad got “hung”), a stray mark voided a paper ballot and other machinery glitches.
Officials call it “spoilage.” I call it, “inaugurating Republicans.” Why? According to statisticians working with the US Civil Rights Commission, the chance your vote will “spoil” this way is 900% higher for Black folk and 500% higher for Hispanics than for white voters. When we do the arithmetic, we find that well over half of all votes spoiled or “blank” are cast by voters of color. On balance, this spoilage game produces a million-vote edge for the GOP.
That’s where the Black Boxes come into play. Forget about Karl Rove messing with the software to change your vote. Rather, the big losses occur when computers crash, fail to start or simply don’t respond to your touch. They are the new spoilage machines of choice with, statistically, the same racial bias as the old vote-snatching lever machines. (Funny, but paper ballots with in-precinct scanners don’t go rotten on Black voters. Maybe that’s why Republican Secretaries of State have installed so few of them.)
So Let’s Add it Up
Two million legitimate voters will be turned away because of wrongly rejected or purged registrations.
Add another one million voters challenged and turned away for “improper ID.”
Then add yet another million for Democratic votes “spoiled” by busted black boxes and by bad ballots.
And let’s not forget to include the one million “provisional” ballots which will never get counted. Based on the experience of 2004, we know that, overwhelmingly, minority voters are the ones shunted to these baloney ballots.
And there’s one more group of votes that won’t be counted: absentee ballots challenged and discarded. Elections Assistance Agency data tell us a half million of these absentee votes will go down the drain.
Driving this massive suppression of the vote are sophisticated challenge operations. And here I must note that the Democrats have no national challenge campaign. That’s morally laudable; electorally suicidal.
Add it all up — all those Democratic-leaning votes rejected, barred and spoiled — and the Republican Party begins Election Day with a 4.5 million-vote thumb on the vote-tally scale.
So, what are you going to do about it? May I suggest you … steal back your vote.
It’s true you can’t win with 51% of the vote anymore. So just get over it. The regime’s sneak attack via vote suppression will only net them 4.5 million votes, about 5% of the total. You should be able to beat that blindfolded. If you can’t get 55%, then you’re just a bunch of crybaby pussycats who don’t deserve to win back America.

It will feel so good casting my vote against George Allen and for Jim Webb tomorrow. Macaca cannot get shit-canned soon enough.
I get it!
Lieberman: see pig
Thanks Jane.
angie at 98 — Is Hardball covering the robocalls? Awesome, if so. I sent out a spate of e-mails before I left this morning hoping someone would pick this up. I’m also hoping a lot of the campaigns have gotten on the air on local news and radio about it.
T- I am sorry to hear that, on many accounts. You seem to be Bearing it well. ;-) I left the cold and gray Boston weather to do my studying in that great college town 100 miles to the south. Yeah, big mistake, I know. Then I married a Texan and could never get him to leave.
I though I’d copy and paste this from the Lamont blog. For what any poll is worth, we need to keep the candle burning bright:
Final Election-Eve CT-Sen Poll
Polimetrix, as part of the non-partisan Cooperative Congressional Election Study, which brings together prominent political science researchers from around the country to do a massive national poll just before the election, has a raft of results just released.
Their CT-Sen numbers are what we care about, and they’re great:
Lieberman 48
Lamont 44
Schlesinger 5
Fuck — my flight is delayed another hour. Arrrrrrgh.

Christy Hardin Smith @ 102
yep, they are, but they are not calling it robocalls. shuster is terming it “voter suppression” and KO will knock it outta the ballpark tonite, (I think and hope). i wrote my butt off today too, inspired by your early post!
FDL rocks; bless you on your travels.
I know I am EPUd, but: F*cken A! Pig is right.
For what it’s worth…I just sent an email over to the dnc asking that schumer go frig himself. Also told them that as long as schumer is associated with the dnc leadership I will never donate money to them again…
schumer & lie berman…two dipshits who deserve each other…
Rudy at 110 — Schumer heads the DSCC — he has no leadership role within the DNC. They are separate entities. Howard Dean has nothing to do whatsoever with Schumer’s ego-filled idiocy. Thought you’d want to know on that. :)
If Joe should win every scandal we can think of should be thrown his way, every vote of his with the GOP should be pointed out as an example of the Democratic Leadership Committe’s stupidity. Mainstream Democrats like Hilary who wouldn’t back Lamont should get the blame everytime a DEM law gets stuck in the Senate because of Joe’s vote! If the Dems fail to get us out of Iraq or do anything about healthcare and otherwise waste their majority we blame Holy Joe and the Mainstream DEMS. Holy Joe’s pet cause the healthcare industry should be our first target. We have to send a message!
