But good for Joe. As a NY'er whose life is intertwined work- and family-wise with CT, I am watching CT politics pretty closely. Furthermore there are a number of NY'ers driving around (I'm in the Hudson Valley) with Lamont bumper stickers. The idiots here do love to loudly proclaim their idiocy. Anyway, I do believe the CT Dems in particular and the national Dems in general are in for some very rude shocks come November. P.E.S.T part II, here we come. As for nervousness talking to Congressmen and Senators, I wish that was my problem. I so loathe and detest my 2 Senators I would refuse help from them under any imaginable circumstance. Nor would I torture myself trying to bring an issue before them. I thought CA was bad but NY really is rock bottom when it comes to political representation. (And to add insult to injury, Maurice Hinchey is my Rep. It really doesn't get any worse than that.)

A surprise guest at the meeting was Bill Clinton, whose agenda seemed to be protecting his wife. But things didn’t work out quite as planned. When Guy Saperstein, a retired lawyer from Oakland, asked Clinton if Democrats who supported the war should apologize, the former President ” went fucking ballistic,” according to Saperstein. Forget Hillary, Clinton said angrily during a ten-minute rant; if I was in Congress I would’ve voted for the war. “It was an extraordinary display of anger and imperiousness,” Saperstein says.

But I have no sympathy for Joe's apparent innocence of the potential treacheries of Dodd, Gore and Kennedy, three of the most unprincipled and self-serving men in public office. If Joe couldn't predict how easily he'd be thrown overboard by the three of them, maybe Lamont is finally smarter than Lieberman. The Lamont-Lieberman contest in CT is simply a struggle between the Hard Left and Soft Left here, and nothing more.

Agree absolutely… I just wish more of these politicians would specify just what “progressive” really means!

Could mean a real drop in support for so-called progressives…

Nice cliffhanger Roger.

The present Democrat Party has been taken over by the whacko's like Soros and in Ted's case the drunks but maybe someone like Joe Lieberman could get it back on track. Lots of people who now say "I didn't leave the Democrat Party, it left me" just might go back if sanity and patriotism prevailed.

Many years ago I had the chance to meet Rep. Luhan of NM (then) and was very nervous. But Joe is my senator dang it and therefore my employee. I have had two converstions with him and I was not a bit nervous. In the second I explained to him (calmly) that I didn't like a lot of stands he needed to take in his VP run and if he was going to still back these my vote would be in play. He was very respectful in both shorts talks. And by the way, there may be a time when I will not vote for him, but I still will like him. He is certainly a giant step up from that ass Weicker.
