HARTFORD, Conn. -- Sen. Joe Lieberman closed his anti-war opponent's double-digit lead yesterday to just six points as both candidates scrambled across the state ahead of today's Democratic primary. The latest polling results were a relief to the veteran Democrat, who has represented this state in the Senate for nearly two decades and who just six years ago was his party's vice presidential nominee. Mr. Lieberman predicted yesterday that the movement in polls showed momentum at his back and said he expects to win today.
It ain't over but people who respect and value freedom, America's right to self-defence and the sanctity of the state of Israel may soon be able to breathe a sigh of relief on this.
In an effourt to help with the GOTV work today I wired some nutmeg friends a few thousand dollars yesterday. They have raised about a $100K and have laid into all of the little airplane size bottles of booze that will buy. They plan to hand these out on the streets of New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport, Danbury and Storrs in a Chicago-style effort to motivate any drunken street people and/or drunken college students, as the case may be, into getting into the booth and voting for Lieberman. I guess they get a voucher for the bottle and get the actual bottle after they return from the booth with a digital foto of the ballot marked "Lieberman". Dead commie dictator Richie "Dick" J. Daley would be proud.
Looking ahead I wonder if Lieberman will be weakened such that the Rs have a chance in November? Could Rowland run or is he barred?
