I met Dr. Orman,With aboiut 10 others a few days after he announced his intention to run and we all talked and shared a few pitchers of beer.He knew from the beginning that his chances were 1 in a million but also that his effort would force Joe to stop going on Fox and Bashing Dems and to stop saying things like ""Bottom line, I think Bush has it right."

Hi effort encouraged others to come foward and blast Joe at a Ct Dem state central meeting in Hartford for his vote for Gonzales and his support for Bushes war,

and Joe still is no lock for the Dem nomination in this state.
Many people are encouraging AG Dick Blumenthol to challenge Joe in a primary. If he announced tommorrow he would be the front runner for the nomination and everyone knows it.

Sometimes when one door closes another opens.
