I am not trying to derail my primary opponent. It is just, like royality, it IS my seat. And what I will do is keep it because it is my %($*$&%$##$ seat. You have to understand it is not anything personal about my good friend, Mr. Lamont, who is quite a capable Connecticutican, as I am, moreso, so I do not hold and carry grudges; and shall remain close to my many Democrat friends in the Senate and in my state, while taking my %$(&^^&$)(%$$#(%(^^^(%$$% seat back, or rather, keeping it, and those dear friendships will not be forgotten when I resume next session and switch to the GOP where I also have many friends and in switching shall gain many more. And thank you and your wonderful blog for your steadfast support during a difficult time for us all.<BR/><BR/>[Just kidding, but I could write his stuff - stuffy enough].eric zaetschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678223934280297732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437319.post-1155163721011205302006-08-09T17:48:00.000-05:002006-08-09T17:48:00.000-05:00Thanks!

Not such a good idea if you wanna say you don't get your walking orders from bush!Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04512342406089557249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437319.post-1155162973077640172006-08-09T17:36:00.000-05:002006-08-09T17:36:00.000-05:00I don't think the Republican candidate will win; e...I don't think the Republican candidate will win; even with Dems splitting their votes.<BR/><BR/>What I think could, and very well, might happen, is the Republicans will turn out in November to vote for Liberman. This, combined with the Dem votes he gets, could very well return Joe to the Senate. I'm thinking Joe will be well funded by some of his GOP friends.<BR/><BR/>Great post too Polly.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13164600370556584463noreply@blogger.com
