Bellwether for Lieberman this Weekend

In the continuing effort of Connecticut Democrats to give away the Senate seat held by the man they nominated for the Vice Presidency in 2000, they will meet in a convention this weekend to endorse a Senate candidate. They will almost certainly renominate Joe Lieberman, but will likely set up a primary against a liberal cable exec who's basically backed by DNC Chair Howard Dean.

Oh what a tangled web we weave...

Little of the article is new, but a Lieberman opponent says that if as many as 25% of the delegates oppose Lieberman, it's a warning sign.

Lieberman has not ruled out a run as an Independent if he fails to secure the Democratic nomination.

Back to the top.
