that will teach black women to run for congress

8/9/2006 12:25:26 AM

good one!

8/9/2006 12:27:28 AM

hopefully lieberman comes to his senses over the next few days

8/9/2006 12:30:37 AM

^the jewish cabal wont allow it

8/9/2006 12:31:08 AM

oh i spelled bottom wrong. wasn't that district majority black in hotlanta?

8/9/2006 12:32:57 AM

if he continues on as an independent he's just being a douche

8/9/2006 12:33:47 AM

i wonder how the jews who control the media/usgoverment/neocons/world could allow a fellow jew who supports israel to lose a primary??

8/9/2006 12:38:42 AM

the master plan will be revealed in the end

indeed...this is undoubteldly part of the master plan designed by Da Vinci himself to lord over us gentiles and use as slaves

8/9/2006 12:40:53 AM

It would've been fun to see the expression on her face the instant she realized that slugging that cop cost her the seat.

He has already stated that he definitely will be running as an independent.

Wait'll Mel hears about this!

8/9/2006 12:50:32 AM

yeah well, politicians say a lot of things

so, there's one senate seat for republicans.

gg, Joe Loserman. but i guess thats what he wants anyhow.

8/9/2006 12:54:31 AM

i'm telling you

he's not going to run as an independent

8/9/2006 12:55:33 AM

He's gonna face a lot of pressure in the next few days to bow out. It'll be interesting to see how he handles it.

There's no way this seat goes Republican unless Jodi Rell steps down as Governor and decides to run.

8/9/2006 12:59:23 AM

uhh... bill clinton on the line sir...

thats awfully confident of you...

...to say they can split the liberal vote across two competing democrats, and still beat the conservatives unified on one republican candidate.

i am not convinced.

" Lieberman concedes to Lamont, vows to run in November"
http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/08/08/democratic.primaries/index.html

8/9/2006 1:04:54 AM

goddamn i have always disliked this guy.

8/9/2006 1:14:49 AM

Lieberman's campaign website was knocked offline Monday by a DoS attack. Liberman blamed Lamont supporters, and called it "dirty politics" and a "Rovian tactic" referring to Karl Rove.

Lamont campaign denied any knowledge of it.

State Attorney Generals office will investigate.

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/08/08/lieberman.website/index.html


i think it was Karl Rove.

8/9/2006 1:22:03 AM

^^^

yeah, we know what it fucking says

he's not going to run, man

[Edited on August 9, 2006 at 1:22 AM. Reason : .]

8/9/2006 1:22:12 AM

Of course he'll run, and he'll win. With the 48% of non-extremist Democrats who supported him in the Primary, plus the independent voters, plus those Republicans that will vote for him given the fact that they have a weak GOP candidate, his victory would pretty much be in the bag. Who wouldn't run given those circumstances?

8/9/2006 4:52:01 AM

^

That's a fine plan in the fantasy world where campaigns don't require money to run. From what I've seen primaries tend to go like this:

Situation A: you win. You get money from PACs, the party, various others.
Situation B: you lose. People don't give you money.

So he's already basically had his legs shot out from under him.

Plus this whole "the 48% of non-extremist Democrats" thing is crap. People who vote in primaries tend to be partisan. If you analyze the word "partisan" carefully, you'll notice that it means "takes sides." Which side? Uh ... the ... party. Partisan. Got it.

So let's look at the situation where there are three choices, and you're the partisan Democrat:

Choice A: Democrat.
Choice B: Not a Democrat.
Choice C: Not a Democrat.

My guess is you would tend to vote for ... um ... the Democrat. Since you know, the whole point of having a political party is to not split votes in mainstream elections.

Personally I hope Lieberman is gone for good. It has nothing to do with the man's politics per se, I just can't stand him. He's annoying. He's a perpetual Presidential Candidate who has Jomentum (tm)(R) because his silly little state is too rich to have any real problems. He's one of the most prominent mis-calculating idiots in the Senate who thinks the Senate is a launching pad for Presidential Ambition, despite decades of evidence to the contrary. It's wonderful to see him get knocked down a peg.

So he'll be replaced by another knee-jerk liberal. Big deal. It's Connecticut.

his site went down because he pays 15$/month for web hosting and he used up all his bandwidth.

Quote :

"it’s clear that Lieberman’s website isn’t suffering from a Denial of Service attack. But now I have the definitive answer as to why Lieberman’s site went down. They are paying $15/month for hosting at a place called MyHostCamp, with a bandwidth limit of 10GB. MyHostCamp is currently down, along with all their clients. Here’s the deal — you get what you pay for. My hosting bill is now over $7K per month. A smaller site doesn’t need that much bandwidth, but if you’re paying $15 because your $12 million campaign is too freakin’ cheap to pay for quality hosting, then don’t go blaming your opponent when your shitty service goes out."

fox news spent 60% of its evening coverage on accusing lamont

8/9/2006 7:41:54 AM

yeah...they did...i dont know why....i was pulling for lieberman but no one is suprised that he lost...

8/9/2006 7:49:48 AM

I think Lamont will win the seat, maybe Lieberman if his personal popularity is as high as people claim it is.

Regardless -- this is a big plus for Republicans. Liberal money and attention being drained in Connecticut, "teh L3ft has been overrun by teh f4r, f4r L3ft" campaign ads already in production, the list goes on. Good times. 

8/9/2006 8:49:14 AM

is it really??

i can see these ads now...talking about how democrates have "abandoned all forms of centricism and bi-partisanship"...or something

8/9/2006 8:52:59 AM

i was gonna post something but this thread is about connecticut, not georgia like the title implies

8/9/2006 9:26:34 AM

AAAAHHH HA HA HA that dumb bitch McKinney lost, thats the best nees i heard all day,

8/9/2006 10:24:25 AM

So much for the "anti-Bush" revolution. There goes one of your left-wing loons.

8/9/2006 10:37:35 AM

What on earth does this have to do with any revolution?

8/9/2006 10:48:51 AM

mckinney was a huge bush-basher and a frequent player of the race card.

8/9/2006 10:50:18 AM

And had how much power, nationally or within the party?

8/9/2006 10:53:42 AM

every little bit helps.

i must really bother you. please, stop following me

8/9/2006 10:58:23 AM

i dont like bush and i dont like mckinney

OMG HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!?!?!?!

8/9/2006 11:00:14 AM

you could be upset w/ bush over immigration? lots of people are.

8/9/2006 11:01:11 AM

im upset with bush over a lot of things. lots of people are.

but that has nothing to do with mckinney sucking too.

good point

8/9/2006 11:04:04 AM

connecticut is a pretty liberal state...a large chunk of the state is registered independent so who knows

the media goons are saying lieberman still has a chance to win, and were saying a few days ago if he lost the primary and ran as an independent he could still win

we'll see

8/9/2006 11:06:42 AM

Race wasn't a factor. But she made it one.
I wish you could have seen her antics, what a loonbag.
Her concession speech consisted of her getting 100 people on a platform and playing an anti-Bush song while singing along.

And the "debate"? Classic. I'm so fucking happy right now.

that Lieberman guy, he's Jewish right?

just wondering.

8/9/2006 1:17:14 PM

hahaha

8/9/2006 1:17:57 PM

ahaha,

he deserves to lose if only for that.
