Well, I’m sure by now most of you know that Lamont beat Lieberman. It wasn’t a 14% spread, but he still won decisively. Now, if Joementum really cared about the party he’d bow down instead of splitting the vote, but no. He’s running independent.
Hours after a Democratic primary defeat, Sen. Joe Lieberman filed petitions Wednesday morning to run as an independent in the general election. Senate party leaders in Washington quickly endorsed the anti-war businessman who beat the three-term senator.
Hours after. The man was ready to lose. And his support? None of his own party. Hillary sent Lamont a check, and Kerry, Schumer, and Reid are all expressing support for Ned.
If Joe runs, neither he nor Ned will win the election. The republicans will pick up another seat and make it that much harder to get back the Senate. Maybe that’s what Holy Joe wants, to ruin the election for Ned since he didn’t get the nomination.
