What the *@#! is with this anyway?
The puffy lizard from Connecticut managed to "win" the election. I won't call it "re-election". The lizard lost the CT Democratic primary to his challenger. So... the answer is : form your own political party (Connecticut for Lieberman) and run in the general election. Now, actually, the puffy lizard had this plan setup in advance - before losing the primary to Lamont. What kind of big, swollen puffy lizard head do you have to have to be so certain that you are going to win that you have to get yourself on the ballot in any way possible - even with an idiotic name like "CT for Lieberman"? Lamont won the primary by a 52% to 48% margin. In the general election the puffy lizard "won" by a 50% to 40% margin - the "Republican" candidate getting 10%. Anyone that monitored this race must find it amazing. On the campaign trail, Lamont had HUGE turnouts. The puffy lizard had a few white guys in suits at his events. Where did Lamont's supports go during the general election? Did they not bother to vote in the primary, just to RUN to the polls to vote for the lizard running as the "CT for Lieberman" candidate? I really find it hard to believe that CT voters are that stupid. Even the Republican ones (I'm sure there's far too few to number into the thousands).
Now, what is really disturbing is the actual number of votes that Lamont received in this election : 448,077. Page back to the last Senate election - CT in 2000. The lizard was running against a Republican, the results were : Republican lost with 448,077 votes. Has this ever happened before? Anywhere? Did the exact same people who voted NO to the lizard in 2000 turn out to vote against his opponent this time?? Did the Republicans show up at the poles in unheard of numbers to vote for the CFL candidate instead of the Republican running? What the h-e-dbl-hockey-stick happened? Why isn't this under some kind of review? Questions, anybody? Questions? I think, seriously, that lizard was guaranteed the senate. All he had to do was get on the ballot.
Now the people of CT have a true chameleon (lizard) for their senator. He can be a Democrat OR a Republican. I will never trust him either way. His one true allegiance is to the CT-for-himself party. In 2008 when the Democrats can pick up at least one more senate seat we can relegate the puffy lizard to the trash heap of history - right along with GW Bush.
