Joe, please run for governor

[Bad Thoughts]

Now that he is out of the presidential race, I hope that Joe Lieberman works up the courage to run for the governorship of Connecticut. He is well like in the state, and I think that he would deal well with that state's problems: the distribution of school funds by region, the urban problems around Hartford, the debt ... . And he can get rid of Rowland.

1. Perhaps the most constructive suggestion I've seen in the last

couple of years. Bravo!

2. Hey, despite your name, that's not a bad thought!

Then maybe CT can elect a progressive Dem to the Senate. On the other hand, if Lieberman were to win, would he appoint his own successor? Or would he run for both governor and the Senate--you know, hedge his bets?

3. I think that the Senate and Governor elections will be the same year

And I can't think of a good CT Dem to run for Senate.

5. 2006?

Who's in the House?

4. Is there a Dem to replace him?

I am absolutely petrified about our fortunes in the Senate for the next few cycles. I'd hate to give a seat away.

6. He would have no problem winning hte governorship ....

Because he appeals to both Dems and Repubs in his state...Unfortunately for him, that appeal does not go over well in a Democratic primary.
