Raw calls Lamont victor in Connecticut primary
With Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) trailing by 4 percent with more than 80 percent of the votes counted in Tuesday's Democratic primary in Connecticut, RAW STORY has declared anti-war challenger Ned Lamont victor.

Lieberman has said he may run as an independent in the November's general election. Democratic insiders say the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee will back the winner of tonight's primary, potentially handing Lamont a hefty campaign war chest.
and here, less than a week before my birthday -- thank you, connecticut...

Figured you would stay up for this one, but surprised no follow up post.

Congratulations on your Lamont victory. I am surprised that Lieb will try the indie route - I don't think he has a snowball's chance in hell. Tough end to a decent political career.

Tremendous victory for the party purists. Inadvertently presents Lamont to the country as a Deaniac left-winger, even if he isn't.

Also helps the GOP by ceding some middle ground in the Senate. Hopefully, the pachyderms will be smart enough to seize it. Something tells me not, however.

Happy Birthday G. Hope you get another epic Yankees collapse for the big day.

Nope, did not read about them because you did not cover it enough on your blog, which is the only thing I have time to read.

Now, I gotta get back to work.

I also see from Spared's (yes, a hottie) site that Comrade Moore has called for Hill to break left and denounce the war.

Talk about a rock and a hard place - if she sticks to her position, the energized left will savage her; if she goes left, she will be derided as the new Kerry (or the old Clinton) for her latest flip-flop. I will save the media wags some time and declare that her foreign policy shall be known as the Wet Finger Doctrine.

Just as diagrammed in the Karl Rove playbook. Nice work, Mike.

Mr. Feather - Do you think calling me a hottie makes me think more, or less of you? And HOW ARE the wife and kids? Just out of curiousity...
