Lieberman would do the people here in Connecticut a great favor by retiring. He has ignored the people of Connecticut too long, since becoming a 'national figure'.

Firstly his politics are way out of sync for a blue (and becoming even more blue) state like Connecticut.

His ideas may have been 'progressive' in 1961- but not now. He and his wife (a corporate lobbyist) have too many connections with the health insurance industry (he has opposed universal/affordable health care) and other benefits for the low income.

His support for the Bush/Cheney regime is perhaps his biggest mistake of all.

Plus appearing on FOX News as a regular 'posterchild' and cheerleader for republican/right wing causes are another reason the voters gave him a thumbs down August 8th.

I believe Joe cost Al Gore from winning in 2000. I do hope Al Gore comes to campaign for Lamont- which would really frost Liebermans out of control vanity.
