1. But does he have credence among liberals in CT?

As a former Green, he'd be on my end of the political spectrum, and I agree with his platform. But, alas, I live in Arkansas and sadly not on the banks of the Husitanic. So what do Nutmeggers say?

2. I live in Connecticut.

I think he is not only better than the opposition, but his platform is exactly what we need to undo the atrocities of the Bush regime. A centrist cannot resolve all the damage by virtue of their platform.

I also would love to hear what others have to say.

3. I don't know anything about him

But I'd certainly like to know more.

We've been looking for a viable candidate. If MoveOn supports him, it would help, but he's got to have something to offer.

By the way, it's "Housatonic."

15. Oops

I never saw the name in writing-I was too busy watching the fly fishermen and going over the covered bridge at Cornwall. (The Wandering Moose at Cornwall Bridge has great soup, btw)

10. Yup.

I wonder who Joe will appoint as Senator when that happens, too.

14. Joe won't appoint anybody....The republican governor of Conn gets to pick

and she'll pick a liberal Republican who'll support the neo-cons but steadily be re-elected.

until 10 minutes ago....

9. Labels, Labels, Labels

Lieberman is a DINO.

How is being pro-labor, pro civil rights, and anti-war not being a Democrat.

Respond to content, please, and stop with ad hominems. What is it about his Democratic platform that you don't like?

12. Hahahahahaha....

If anyone is a DINO it's Ferrucci....the only reason the sleazy sumbitch is pretending to be a Democrat is that his own party is a corrupt dishonest joke.

"Respond to content, please"
Did that.

"What is it about his Democratic platform that you don't like?"
Personally, that he wasn't a Democrat until ten minutes ago, and that the party he WAS in was basically a GOP dirty trick.

13. I can't stand Liebermann

but I'm not interested in another Mark Green type (a guy who loses constantly).
