CEA endorses Lamont.

AP article: Lieberman has to decide soon whether or not to run as an independent.

It's been a lousy week for Lieberman, and a very, very good one for Ned Lamont.

There are other campaigns out there. But it's like everyone is holding their breath, waiting to see what will happen next.

"Guess he can have his cake and eat it too!"

Well, this is the guy who ran for Veep and Senator in the same election...

Well, if this can happen at the municipal level (candidates remaining in the primary as well as petitioning their way on the November ballot as an independent), is there a reason it can't happen for Lieberman, too?

There were many instances of municipal candidates who did both last year.

State law suggests (and my knowledge is admittedly incomplete) that he could petition as an independent candidate. If he wins, the law wouldn't allow him to appear as a petitioning candidate, only as the nominated candidate. If he loses, he appears as a petitioning candidate.

I think.

The relevant laws are here.

The NH Register is reporting that the Commissioner of the DOT is resigning to return to his former job as administrator of Bradley International Airport.

Hmmm... very odd. Why would someone suddenly step down as the commissioner of the largest state agency just out of the blue? Wonder what his reasons are.

I think this Joe Lieberman as an Independent talk is just that talk It is a spin by The Lamont Camp trying to get Joe to quit so Ned gets the nod.

Most people in the Lamont camp are just anti-war and the real liberal fringe of The Democratic Party.

The Country is at war That was our Dumb idiot President's call do I agree with it NO!!! Do we need to finish what we started YES!!! Just Because Senator Lieberman chose to do the right thing and stand by our military troops and support them he is criticized and now they want to replace him with a Greenwich Millionaire who is being supported by that big fat idiot moron who ruined this State with his stupid lamea** income tax that he lied to us about.Lamont+ Weicker=Loser. Weicker needs to go back in his cave and go to sleep.He only shoots his mouth off when he wants publicity.

So let Ned Lamont hitch his star to the worst Governor in the History of our State Bad for him Great for Joe!!!

The Quote of the Day.....

Weicker + Lamont= Loser

The "Sleeping bear" who said Having a State Income Tax would be liking pouring Gasoline on a fire Now is supporting "The Baby Cub" What a wonderful state we live in!!!

Lets allow Ned to hibernate with Lowell on August 8,2006 in the cave.

We all know Lowell is still pissed he isnt in the senate anymore and Thank our lucky stars he isn't Governor anymore either.
