Awesome speech:

"Thank you dear friends for standing by me in this difficult race."
"Your support has sustained my family and me and made this a much closer race than all the pundits were predicting."
"I called Ned Lamont and congratulated him on his success today."
"We've just finished the first half and the Lamont Team is ahead. In the second half, our team, Team Connecticut, is going to surge forward in November."
"The old politics of polarization won today. For the sake of our state, my country and my party, I cannot and will not let those results stands today."
"I will continue to offer Connecticut a different path forward."
"People are fed up with the petty partisanship and angry bickering in Washington. It is continually blocking progress on major problems and wasting America's greatness."

I am down with Team Connecticut! Go Nutmeggers!

eta: what does mean by my party? He needs to have forensics run a print check on the knife they take out of his back. Dollars to donuts says its a donkey hoof.

There is something very annoying about Lieberman. Although I appreciate his courageous stance on the war, he still seems pretentious, arrogant and condescending. His hollywood bashing made him seem like a twisted version of the church lady. I think personality played a major role here. This just wasn't an election over policy.

I was glad to see Cynthia McKinney go. It is too bad we couldn't use the primary to get rid of some of the bad eggs in our party.

Well, looks like it will be about a 3% margin. Certainly, we can all agree which way it was trending, and who knows, maybe the shenanigans regarding the website cost Lieberman that 3%. If so, I hope Lamont is proud of his people and his ill gotten victoury. Although for a guy wiht a commie sympathiser for an Uncle, I am sure this a proud moment much as in the tradition of most of the elections in the communist world.

All I can say at this point is, let the games begin. I'm teeing up my absentee ballot for the "I" candidate, but who knows, the big winner here could be the Republicans. Either way it will be fun to watch the democrat party eat itself alive over this race for another 3 months.

Recount?

Spanky, get with the program, it's Team Connecticut now. You are either with us or with them.......

It's funny that you think that's a "gotcha." I have no problem acknowledging that Clinton was lying.

I guess the cum stain on her dress was irrefutable?

But if he'd been the one pulling the wool over people's eyes with that State of the Union crap, you would have put that into the articles of impeachment.

"The British Government has learned that..."

Still not a lie.

the thing is, what's the point. If he wants the seat, its his take as an I.

When he wins the Senate race as an Independent, will the Kossacks blame "Diebold" and will the CBC claim that blacks in Stamford were disenfranchised?

All seemingly empty space is filled with ether, per Aristotle. Not a lie, but misleading to someone who doesn't know better, since Aristotle is one of those people who is recognized as a good source. So putting that out there in a science discussion would be highly, you know, bad.

Dishonest, though not an outright lie.

I don't want that in a leader.

Lest anyone forget, he hedged his bets in 2000 by running simultaneously for both Senate and for Vice President.

You forgot to add "hubris"

dissent. The analogy is off. the fact is, all empty space is not filled with ether and if someone who knows that quotes aristotle then that is close enough to a lie to be equivalent.

With Bush, they thought it might be true. They had some intelligence that indicated it was and then some subsequent intelligence that conflicted with the earlier intelligence. The brits only had one type of intelligence and were a key ally. I think citing their intelligence, when you still believed it might be true (and as far as I am aware it was never absolutely proven that it was not true) is fine.

Again, if it turned out Saddam got the yellow cake and made a bomb and dropped it on SF, Ty would have been howling louder than the most that Bush;s inteligence dropped the ball. And questioning why the brits got it right.

It was a judgement call. No dishonesty.

Next.

I guess you didn't vote for John Kerry in 2004 either, given his "Holiday in Cambodia" lark and the stories about the Green Beret he keeps in his briefcase.

He won't. He doesn't have a friend in the world now. All the Clintons and FOBs will have to support Lamont now. Maybe McCain will help him, but many Dems who were on his side in the primary are already on record that they will support the Dem nominee. It's a long way to November, and the polls today on a 3-way race are meaningless.

Diebold is the reason he got 48%. In a fair election he loses by 10 or more.

You'll eat those words. Team Connecticut is rolling. Take no prisoners.

You're comfortable adopting a phrase from the guy responsible for "Joementum"?

Oh-kay.
