Lieberman won't rule out an Independent bid

[SammyBlue]

HARTFORD, Conn. - Sen.
Joe Lieberman, facing a challenge from within the Democratic Party for renomination, said Monday he has not ruled out seeking a fourth term as an independent.

"I have not foreclosed the option," Lieberman said at a news conference at the Connecticut state Capitol. "If I wanted to run as an independent, I would. I'm running as a Democrat. I've been a Democrat all my life."

Ned Lamont, a Democratic activist and anti-war candidate from Greenwich, is challenging Lieberman for the party's nomination this year. He has been garnering support from some Connecticut Democrats dissatisfied with Lieberman's support of the war in Iraq and his perceived closeness with President Bush's administration.

The party will endorse a candidate at a convention on May 20.

GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK, you DINO asshole! You'll run as an Independent if you don't get the party's nod? Why not just go to the Republicans, Joey!!! What a disgrace to Jews you are!!! I hope you choke on your Passover Matzah (and I'm Jewish)!!!

1. I agree and I'm almost Jewish.

;) He's such an ass. He'll run as an Independent so the Democrat will lose. He's like a spoiled brat, isn't he?:grr:

2. I think Heidi Fleiss could beat him in a head-to-head race. No pun meant.

3. Great, because he'll split THEIR vote

not ours. The fundygelical nutcases will vote GOP. The old line conservos will vote Lieberman. There is no way either group would ever vote for a Democrat.

If he's arrogant enough to do it, I may even send him a few bucks.
