More Evidence Lieberman is a Traitor

Joe Lieberman is not a man who can be trusted.  When he says that he will caucus with the Democrats should he win next month.  I just don't believe him.  He is probably so pissed that he lost the nomination and that many upstanding Democrats actually stand with the winner of the Democratic nomination that he will be motivated by revenge.

AP:

Lieberman told The Hartford Courant on Friday that his decision on whether to vote for Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell or Democratic New Haven Mayor John DeStefano will remain private.

...Lieberman also declined to comment Friday on whether he thinks the nation would be better off with the Democrats in control of the House of Representatives. "I haven't thought about that enough to give an answer," Lieberman told The Courant.

Lieberman has said he would remain a member of the Senate's Democratic caucus if he wins Nov. 7. He has also said that Senate Democratic leaders have told him he would retain his 18 years of seniority.

Ugh! I can not stomach this guy.  You know all the Republicans will have to do is honor his seniority and he will caucus with them just to piss off all the people who hate him.  Nothing would make me happier than to see Holy Joe go down in a blaze of glory.

Harold Leads Corker

I happened to catch the firs Ford/Corker Senate debate last weekend.   Corker was totally unappealing.  I can't see how anyone, even Southerns, would like that guy.  This has always been an uphill battle for Democrats, but things are looking up:

PoliticalWire:

In Tennessee's U.S. Senate race, a new Rasmussen Reports poll shows Rep. Harold Ford (D-TN) now leads Bob Corker (R) by just two points, 48% to 46%.

Key finding: "A good sign for the Democrat, who has been credited with running a very effective campaign, is that his supporters tend to be "for Ford" (72%) rather than 'against Corker' (23%). By contrast, just 54% of Corker supporters say they're "for Corker," and 41% say they're 'against Ford.'"
