Mine neither.

OK, if you say so.

IMHO he is as honest & conscientious a Senator as is likely
to be found on either side.

*But* let me ask a few leading questions... why does the
Republican publicity machine suddenly want to dabble in a
Democrat election?

I can think of several reasons- by having a lot of blatant
Bush-Cheney Cheerleaders supporting Lieberman, he is more
likely to lose, thereby removing a senior Democratic Senator
with a lot of influence over where the money goes; also
putting in place a more vulnerable Democrat.

Did it not seem odd to anybody else that the rightwingnuts
are suddenly so hot about Lieberman, when just a few short
years ago they were screaming about what a
commie-liberal-fag-traitor he was (almost as bad as
shudder Al Gore).
