Reply #34: The Republican convention was the same weekend as the Democratic one [View All]

so Lieberman would not be in the Republican primary ballot. His only alternative is Independent.

According to the recent Q-poll, Lieberman would win handily over Lamont and the Repuke, but Lamont has a 24% name recognition rate and as that improves so will his numbers among Independents. Lieberman would split the Republican vote.

Lamont at the head of the Dem ticket would do more to help our 3 Congressional candidates than Lieberman, whose war stance hurts their chances of holding accountable the Repuke Congresscritters who voted for it. Republican Rep Chris Shays has already endorsed Lieberman and keeps telling his challenger, Diane Farrell, to talk to Liebeman if she opposes his war stance. But Shays public endorsement of Lieberman was not well received by his fellow Republicans.
