Liberman lost yesterday's democratic primary..
He's vowing to run as an independent - which dem leaders fear will split the democratic vote.
looks like CT might have a republican senator next year.

He'll pull out. I don't think he has much choice, especially if he dreams of ever running for office as a democrat again.
I'm interested in what this may or may not say about the future of senators from both parties who supported Bush's Iraq policies.

I don't think so. He's been leading in statewide polls in a 3 person race and the Republican candidate has been in trouble with gambling issues and debt related problems so most Republicans will vote for Joe. Dems know that if he wins he'll caucus with the Dems anyway so they won't fight him too hard, especially if he wins. This won't be like Jim Jeffords where Republicans wouldn't even speak with him after he switched to Independent.BigKahuna13 wrote:He'll pull out.

Jesse "dun go da bushes" Jackson and Al "she was raped" sharpton should just stay the F out of CT. They have nothing in common with anyone in this state.
Unless someone really gets to Joe, he will run, and now with the MI-5 deal in GB, He may win and LaMont will be a has been. I think many voters may now have 2nd thoughts over how Joe feels about the war and Isreal vs. Terrorism.
Then again, they voted on the LaMont cry of end the war and don't support Bush. LaMont will continue that cry, and Joe will continue to say he supports our efforts in the Middle East, but he voted WITH his party 90% of the time. The Replublican will use that part against Joe since we are now considered one of the top taxed states in the country with an out of control state budget. We also have a Democrat running for Governor wanting to give away health care. Hmm, but nobody has asked how he can pay for it since we are struggling to pay for what we already have.
