This lastest analysis from Washington Post on the impact of Lieberman's potential loss
is worth reading.

Some leading democrats such as Rahm Emanuel are finally getting the message.

Democrats hope to pick up three vulnerable Republican-held House seats in November and do not want a distracting Lieberman-Lamont general election battle to get in the way of those campaigns.
Rep. Rahm Emanuel (Ill.), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said Friday he is not worried about the fallout from the Senate primary on House races, arguing that the message from Connecticut is that anyone supporting Bush's war policies is in deep trouble. "What's playing out here is that being a rubber stamp for George Bush is politically dangerous to life-threatening," he said.

Remember the guy who heckled Lamont at a diner? His name is Richard Goodstein and he's a DC lobbyisst. It turns out he has played these dirty tricks before and as a result, Mondale paid over $379,000 in fine.

It turns out, this recent flap isn't the first time Goodstein's been in hot water. Way back in 1983, Goodstein -- then a lawyer for the doomed Mondale for President campaign -- "surreptitiously took" a notebook from a Philadelphia office in order to hide the nature of the campaign's scheme to use rather flimsy outside organizations to evade fundraising laws. The action was disclosed in a 1985 book and reported in the Washington Post. (The notebook was returned soon after Goodstein took it, the paper reported; the FEC discovered the ruse, and Mondale -- after losing 49 states to Ronald Reagan -- paid over $379,000 in fines.)

Deranged Katherine Harrispredicts victory ...

Undeterred after a week of bad news for her floundering U.S. Senate campaign, Rep. Katherine Harris vowed Thursday she would win and urged supporters not to get discouraged.
"We'll win, so don't listen to the prognosticators, or the pollsters - you can make a poll say anything you want," Harris told about two dozen people at a luncheon.

More news on two most exciting primary races.

A new InsiderAdvantage/Majority Opinion poll

McKinney's totals moved up from the last poll late last week, but she still sat well behind former DeKalb County Commissioner Johnson.
Hank Johnson - 49 percent
Cynthia McKinney - 34 percent
Undecided - 17 percent.
McKinney has picked up some ground against Johnson from a similar survey a week ago, when she was behind by nearly 25 percentage points.
"There has been some shift in African American voters in McKinney's direction," said InsiderAdvantage CEO Matt Towery. "However, the black vote remains split with local black leaders endorsing Johnson, who is trouncing McKinney among eligible white voters."

This is almost like a comedy. Right winger Bruce Walker has recommended some optionsfor Lieberman to seriously consider in case he wins the general election as an independent.

What could Senator Lieberman do? Well, first he could *place a list of demands* before the Democrat caucus: *only pro-war* Senate Democrats (and there are not a lot) should chair key committees dealing with national to security. Lieberman himself should be given one of those chairmanships. The nation, Senator Lieberman should remind his former champions, is more important than party. If the caucus does not accede, then he could vote with Republicans to organize the Senate.

The problem is there is NO 'prob-war' democrat except Lieberman. Read More

This is beyond pathetic. One freeper published the horrific pictures of those innocent children died in the Israel airstrike. It is no surprise that freepers are celebrating the death of those innocent kids.

Folks, this is the difference between us and those radicals including Hezbollah, bin laden, radical zionists and freepers. We treasure every innocent life, they are celebrating the death of every innoncent life...

After reading those freepers' comments, I am just speechless. Make no mistake, these radical beasts including Hezbollah and freepers are the enemies we're dealing with. They have no souls. They need to be defeated for the decency of humanity. Read More

Lebanese PM thanks Hizbullah for 'sacrifices'

Lebanese Prime Minister Fuoad Siniora expressed his 'gratitude' to Hizbullah and its leader Hassan Nasrallah for "sacrificing their lives for the country."
During a press conference held in wake of the Qana village incident in which 55 Lebanese were killed, Siniora asked: "Is Israel's mission to wipe out the Lebanese? It seems they want to kill all of us. One of those killed today is a baby just one day old. With its aggression, Israel is encouraging extremism."

I really feel bad about Liberman. What an embarrasing clown, what a loser.

Big List Of Big Givers Bolsters Lieberman

Every day a fax machine in a Senate office spits out lists of the latest big donors to the Democratic primary campaigns of Joe Lieberman and Ned Lamont.
The Lieberman list is long, running to several handwritten pages containing a roster of familiar names: members of Congress, Fortune 500 executives and well-connected Washington big shots, all ponying up at least $1,000 to back the incumbent.

Lieberman...

"There's a guy from Greenwich with a lot of money who's trying to kick me out of the Senate," Lieberman told bingo players at the Joseph A. Doyle Senior Center in Ansonia. "I hope you don't let him do that."

Howard Dean has proved again he's a master on how to use rhetoric to stir up the passion of democrats and demoralize freepers.

Howard Dean compares Katherine Harris to Stalin during stop in WPB

Dean also had a harsh assessment of Harris, a U.S. House member trying to unseat U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla.
"Thank God for Bill Nelson, because we'd have another crook in the United States Senate if it weren't for him. He is going to beat the pants off Katherine Harris," Dean said during his 20-minute address. "She doesn't understand that it's improper to be chairman of a campaign and count the votes at the same time. This is not Russia and she is not Stalin."
The Harris campaign called the comments "unfortunate."

Who is this "Morton Kondracke"? It appears that hatred-filled Lieberman is using his surrogate to make his desperate final attack against democrats.

Hatred-politics endanger Lieberman race

THIS is no exaggeration: The soul of the Democratic Party -and possibly the future of civility in American politics is on the line in the Aug. 8 Senate primary in Connecticut.
Sen. Joe Lieberman, Conn., one of the last "liberal hawks" in the Democratic Party and a leader in efforts to find bipartisan solutions to America's problems, is being targeted for defeat by an emergent new left that's using savage, Internet-based attacks to push moderation out of politics.
If former Greenwich Selectman Ned Lamont beats Lieberman in the Democratic primary, it will represent a signal victory for the MoveOn.org- Michael Moore-DailyKos left wing of the Democratic Party and for vicious name-calling as a political tactic.

Bush Job Approval at 37%

A new USA Today/Gallup poll finds 37% of Americans approving of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 59% disapproving. Despite many extraordinary events dominating the news over the past weeks -- including the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon and Bush's high-visibility trip to Europe -- this slight drop from the 40% approval rating measured earlier in the month is not statistically significant and falls within the margin of error between the two surveys. The current 37% rating is similar to his average approval rating of 37% for all of June.
