My interest in politics has waned over the years, all thanks to our current President. I vomit in my mouth a little, every time he talks. But I currently live in a state where there was a heavily contested Senate seat available. The Primary battle pitted Democrat Lamont vs Psuedo Republican Lieberman. Ned Lamont managed to win the primary, but can Lieberman win re-election as a Independent?
I can't say I'm sorry to see Mr. Lieberman lose the primary, he's a bit too conservative for my taste. By his support of the war in Iraq, and his belief in meddling in our private 'medical' lives, sometimes I think he's an Abermoff photo away from being a Republican.
However, I do have mixed emotions about Lieberman losing. Technically, he was a Democract with political clout (he was just using it for evil), and it may rally the Republicans around their candidates across the nation. Combine that with the fact that him running as an Independent can split Democratic votes, and throw the election to the Republican candidate (Joe "Ralph Nader" Lieberman).
Well, November should be interesting.
