Lowell Weicker nails Joementum.
'Then it is the brave man chooses, while the coward stands aside...
And the multitudes make virtue of the faith they had denied."
"These words of the 19th-century American poet James Russell Lowell sum up my admiration for and my support of Ned Lamont to be the next U.S. Senator from Connecticut. The majority of Democrats say they support Sen. Joe Lieberman in spite of his backing of the war, since Iraq, after all, is only one of the many issues facing voters. Hello! To characterize the most monumental screw-up of our times as "only one of many issues" is like admiring the theater marquees on Broadway with King Kong on the loose."

Well said, Governor.

1. I've admired Weiker since Watergate
Did he go from repub to independent when he became Governor?

3. yes he ran as an independent (third party)
for governor of CT - a majority of the state hates him for instituting a state income tax. I am not sure how much this will help really - although I am a Ned backer 100%

2. "Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?"
As though the reprehensible war crimes of this regime were merely one of many issues.
