" Matzzie, whose organization claims more than 50,000 Connecticut members, said Wednesday that if his members ask, his group would back a Democratic challenger to Lieberman. Matzzie was in New Haven last month, and found 'the No. 1 question people asked me was, `What are we going to do about Joe Lieberman?''"

1. They can't finance an opponent when

there is no opponent to finance. So far no one has had the nerve to do it.

2. the professor from Fairfield tried

he got a lot of publicity, was in the race for several months and raised a whopping total of about $1,000 before dropping out.

3. Maybe if

MoveOn backs him, he might try again.

He's a highly regarded Political Science professor, but he doesn't have the clout or charisma to grab voters, unless they're so dead set against Lieberman, they'd vote for him.

4. I honestly think it would take a celebrity

Or Lowell Weicker.

Paul Newman, David Letterman (is he even a Democrat/liberal? I've heard conflicting stories) Does Tim Robbins live in-state? Meryl Streep?

5. As a self-declared moderate Democrat

how would you feel about Nader running against him?

[NewJeffCT]

6. Well, I'm no moderate

but, I don't know how Nader would do, to be honest.

[Nutmegger]

7. I'd support him

If he had a chance against Joe.
