Anyone? A solution? Does anyone think Harry Reid will listen? Or how about Rahm, dear boy that he is. Think he's reading DU today? Maybe getting a chuckle as the ants scramble looking for sugar.........

We're fools.

11. "Lieberman Would Lose 2012 Re-Election In Landslide"
Edited on Tue Dec-15-09 09:50 AM by Auggie
Poll from February 2009 (Talking Points):

If Joe Lieberman decides to run for a fifth term in 2012, a new Quinnipiac poll suggests that it may be a lost cause.

The new poll tests Lieberman as an independent against Democratic Attorney General Richard Blumenthal. The numbers: Blumenthal 58%, Lieberman 30%. Yikes.

Lieberman's active campaigning against the Democratic Party last year hasn't won him too many friends back home. Democrats go for Blumenthal by 83%-9%, and independents are for Blumenthal 55%-29%. Lieberman is the de facto Republican nominee in this match, and with GOP voters he scores 67%-23% over Blumenthal.

Lieberman's job approval is also at only 45%, with 48% disapproving. Among Democrats that's a 21%-70% rating, Republicans 75%-20%, while independents give him a narrow approval of 48%-46%.

17. So our last, best hope is that he overreaches
and winds up in the pen on bribery charges.

9. He's smug enough to think the he can do anything
I don't know Connecticut politics, but I readily agree with your assessment that people vote that way -- pattern, celebrity, familiarity.

5. Public humiliation
Shout him down, disrupt his public appearances (infrequent as they are), flood their mailboxes and VM's.
Oh boy, that oughta help.
Personally, I like the "drag him out by his over-sized head" option. But that would compromise my values!

6. Yesterday someone said bribe Collins by giving her Joe's chairmanship in exchange.
Dirty politics seems to work in DC.

16. I'll never understand why Obama rewarded Liebeman after the election?
I guess the fact that Leiberman stood on-stage and raised hands in solidarity with John McCain and Sarah Palin ... would not get Obama's attention......
