I’m gonna say it one more time because no one is listening. Joe Lieberman is still.. Ned Lamont or not.. a screaming liberal none of you should be thinking of supporting in any way shape or form except possibly the candidate of last resort if it appears Ned Lamont is going to win. The proof is in the pudding..

Doug- the Dem fanatics have had it in for Lieberman since he denounced Bill Clinton on the Senate floor in 1998,during the debate on impeachment proceedings.

Supporting President Bush on Iraq was the last straw I guess.

Does anyone here believe that we would even know the name Ned Lamont if Lieberman had stayed quiet and followed the party template? Lieberman, on Iraq, rose above partisanship, and I respect that. Before any of you start hugging him as the next Zell Miller, recall who’s running mate Lieberman was in 2000.

Rightside- Unaffliated voters may vote in party primaries in Connecticut.
I don’t know if Repubicans can vote in Democratic primaries or vice versa.
And yes, this unaffiliated voter is going to vote for Senator Lieberman.

The Lieberman/Lamont Debate…

Allah’s been staying on top of it here and here….

I watched the debate, and I live in the wilds of Nevada. I thought that Lieberman was defensive and arrogant, so was the other guy. What the debate brought home to me was that if the democrats ever regain the majority, we’re in for a world of hurt. One other thing I don’t understand is the republican love affair- from the comments I have read here-with Lieberman. The man is an America hater just as much if not more than his opponent! What gives?

Is Connecticut a state where anyone can vote in the primaries regardless of their party affiliation?

Run Joe, Run!

Kos, “says Joe is a rude jerk”. Pot, meet kettle. Kos calling someone a rude jerk is like Kim Jong Il saying Saddam was a tyrant.

Kos admits: “Lamont has looked more nervous and less polished than the old pro Lieberman.” But he says Joe is a rude jerk.

And by more nervous and less polished he means bug-eyed, bat shit fuggin’ crazy.

[...] Allahpundit did a live blog of the debate (I was tied up, sorry). It sounds like Lieberman did well despite the (obviously) pumped-by-the-left poll on MSNBC. Excerpt: Update: Lamont says he’s got grassroots support. Lieberman says the Democratic Party is and should be what it was in 1960. Now he’s slamming Lamont for calling him insufficiently Democratic when he votes with the left 90% of the time in the Senate. And he says Lamont’s supporters are poisoning the party. Nice. Now he’s telling Lamont, in an angry tone, to stop spreading untruths about his record. [...]

Um, Hamsher seems to have blogged steadily, maybe I had a browser problem going. Unsurprisingly, she thinks Lamont won.

I can’t believe Lamont said “poppycock”. That’s just crazy talk…even from an absurdly leftist political-wannabe like Ned.

Both are doing fine, and though Lieberman is perhaps a bit more talented at debating, the main reason he’s killing Ned is that he is an actual Senator and Lamont’s a nobody, eg Lieb rattling off all the major interest groups who support him over the nobody. Their policy differences are unclear except for an issue that was decided in March 2003 so what’s left is a choice between an actual Senator and some guy who got a lot of money from the netroots.

Yeah, Kos is out and Firedog Hamsher started liveblogging but got tired or something around 7:20 after a hilarious Tom Delay “joke”. What happened to all the excitement?

I’m surprised Lamont is not doing better at finding other ways Lieb is insufficiently liberal/Democrat. A lot of Lamont supporters have pointed out that it’s not just the war Lieb bugs them on, but so Lamont is letting this debate sound like two Democrats who disagree on one issue, except the pro-war guy has more experience.

OMFG,
Leiberman “Ned Lamont has contributed 3 times to my campaign since I posted my opinion on Iraq” or words to that effect. That’s a punch that will land if he keeps pushing it.

Kos is lowering expectations:

I won’t liveblog. Others can do that. But note that Lieberman has been doing this sort of things for decades. This is Lamont’s first real debate.

I’m aware of that Entelechy. The fact that you had to look it up is my point exactly.
