They sure better hope he doesn't win:
Lieberman says potential for leadership role helps candidacySen. Joe Lieberman says the likelihood that he would take a leadership role if the Democrats take control of the Senate on Nov. 7 is helping him in his race against the endorsed Democrat in Connecticut.
"People are reading," Lieberman said after attending Sunday services at Mount Moriah Baptist Church in Hartford. "They see that there's a chance that Democrats might control and they know that if that happens, that I would be a committee chair and also would be in the majority."
[]
If re-elected, Lieberman could return to Capitol Hill to claim the chairmanship of the Homeland Security panel.
Or as Sirota deflatingly says, "Lieberman Cites Support of Senate Dems As Reason He's Still Competitive."
Offhand I can't think of any other event in recent history outside of the big three -- Katrina, Alito and Torture -- that would elicit much more online rage. But he sure has the support of the DC Democrats.
Whether it was a standing ovation at a caucus meeting when Joe got back to the Senate after his primary loss, or Obama refusing to come to Connecticut or criticize Joe in any way, or Bill Clinton praising Lieberman on Larry King, or Harry Reid promising Lieberman seniority, or Chuck Schumer refusing to get involved and practically being forced to not back Lieberman after the primary, or insiders telling Lamont's campaign that they would talk Joe out of the race if Lamont didn't go on the attack, it's very clear that the Democratic Party leadership is rotten to the core. With the exception of John Kerry and Wes Clark, no high profile Democrats have been there for Lamont.
May be the best money yet Richard Mellon Scaife has spent to tear the party into pieces.

Leadership Role? What fucking planet is he on?
Looks like blogger is buggered again.
Boy am I happy we got off of it.
Or maybe it’s what fucking planet are we on?
It must have just gone down, I was just at Gilliard’s place and it worked fine.
BTW Big Dog really needs to step up. Check out the Scaife link. Scaife is now donating to Lieberman. Remember this?
Fer the love of gawd, Bubba, have some fucking pride.
Twisted Martini @ 4
Digby, Atrios, Roy — all down.
He’d rather play his bullshit centrist games. The cavalry ain’t coming for Ned, he’s gonna have to be Gary Cooper in High Noon.
That’s just who BushCo wants “investigating” all the no-bid Halliburton Katrina reconstruction contracts, RGJoe.
Victory for RGJoe = Victory for BushCo.
What’s unclear about this, Nutmeggers? RGJoe will be in the majority regardless of which party takes control of the Senate, and he’s likely to be a Committee Chair either way, so who’s he looking out for? It ain’t Connecticut.
it makes me rather dizzy…
Got EPU’d, but it applies here too:
TeddySanFran @ 166
Another Andrew Miga article. The man sure can hack.
Before Blogger took a dump, Gilliard had a pretty good post about the GOP GOTV machine. He did indicate that those low information voters, those that Joey Douchebag is depending on, are typically the ones who don’t show up. Even with a GOTV machine.
Everything is personal in DC. Everything. They have to deal with Lieberman and they aren’t going to fuck with him in case he wins.
They hope that all we be forgiven if Lamont wins. They feel he will have to play along.
It is a miscalculation, of course, but one politicans make. Remember, they weren’t much nicer to Howard Dean, constantly undercutting his leadership until people jumped on them and they still won’t stop.
Is that’s what’s wrong with the General? I can get my site okay, and I’m on blogger.
Holy shit, like a genie he appears!
Generals back.
Howard Dean has been in CT stumping for Ned.

Lamont may play along, but we, the Democratic voters, will not.
After November 7, regardless of what happens in the election, the progressive blogosphere and Democrats across the country will focus like a laser on the problems within our own party, starting with the profound and unforgivable disrespect that our party leaders have shown for the Democratic voters of Connecticut.
Sometimes the thought occurs that Lieberman is actually more distasteful than Bush.
The two biggest political disappointments in my life for me:
Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton. In that order.
George Will has a moment of lucidity in his otherwise wasted existence. From the current Newsweek:
In a recent interview with Vice President Cheney, Time magazine asked, “If you had to take back any one thing you’d said about Iraq, what would it be?” Selecting from what one hopes is a very long list, Cheney replied: “I thought that the elections that we went through in ‘05 would have had a bigger impact on the level of violence than they have … I thought we were over the hump in terms of violence. I think that was premature.”
He thinks so? Clearly, and weirdly, he implies that the elections had some positive impact on the level of violence. Worse, in the full transcript of the interview posted online he said the big impact he expected from the elections “hasn’t happened yet.” “Yet”? Doggedness can be admirable, but this is clinical.
http://nedlamont.com/blog/2034.....ty-edition
FRom the Lamontblog- a really good take on the Seniority thing:
~~~~Outside the box, Seniority Edition
First of all, does anyone think Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee is an appropriate position for Joe Lieberman to exercise his, ummm, bipartisanship? We’ve all seen how far that has gotten the country with emergency management post-9/11 and in the war in Iraq.
And then there’s the whole “delivering for Connecticut” canard. 49th out of 50 and all…
But I wish folks talking about the glory of seniority would step outside of the conventional D.C. way of thinking for a moment… Look at this grassroots movement our campaign has built. Not just in Connecticut, but nationwide. Sure, Ned might enter the Senator tied for 95th in “seniority,” but he brings with him a legion of followers in each of the 50 states. The same legion that will follow his legislative career with the same zeal they stay abreat of campaign happenings. You can be sure these supporters will be in touch with their representatives when Ned introduces a bill on universal pre-school, for example.
Let’s be honest with ourselves for a moment. Joe Lieberman has little pull with his Republican colleagues in the Senate. It’s not like the GOP has acted with much deference for the minority. And even if he did have pull, it’s not like he’s using his “position of honor” for anything other than the facilitation of a failed PR plan for success in Iraq.
Not only will Ned Lamont bring an entirely fresh perspective to the Senate, but a constituency far different from the DC lobbyists and political action committees that fund the campaigns of most representatives.
Who knows how much of a difference that will make, but we do know one thing: it’s time for change in D.C. It’s time for a different approach to getting things done and moving legislation in the capitol. Ned Lamont gives the people of Connecticut, and America, the best chance to change the course.~~~~
TeddySanFran, I see your EPU and raise you one EPU’ed response:
It’s important to realize that Establishment Democrats are not being bullied into supporting Lieberman. They are doing it of their own free will. His views are their views. His ways (backstabbing, limp, hypocritical, self-serving) are their ways. He is a symbol for all that is worst in the Democratic Party. Schumer is a Lieberman clone (but without the charisma *g*). Obama will be Lieberman in 10 years.
Jane Hamsher @ 4:52 pm (#5)
Per TeddySanFran’s suggestion, I wrote to Pres. Clinton via the contact form at his foundation’s site. I mentioned Scaife, threw in Mel Sembler for good measure, and that there seemed to be folks in Connecticut who thought Joe was the Democratic candidate because Bubba campaigned for him. I said it looked like Ned had some momentum, thanks to the debates, the NYT endorsement, and Schlessinger eating into Lieberman’s lead.
Anyone who feels like writing just click on the link in the previous paragraph.

Yep.
Read this unsigned piece, entitled “Vote Republican,” from Scaife’s Tribune-Review. (If you can get through it–I’ve rarely seen a worse piece of incoherent dreck. The claim that it is “written by a Washington-based British journalist and political observer” is quite amusing.) Then remember that the publisher behind it is a Lieberman contributor.
http://www.pittsburghlive.com/.....76992.html
This whole Lieberman episode has really shined a huge light on the cockroaches in the Dem. party.
“it’s very clear that the Democratic Party leadership is rotten to the core.”
This comment is the key. It’s doen’t matter if the Democrats take control of the House or Senate. Most of the leadership is GOP-light and Lieberman being part of this leadership represents the real agenda. Talk like Democrats and suck like Republicans. Oppose the war and vote to fund it.
Howard Dean has it right. Real Democrats have to think long term and work from the ground up. As Jim Webb said the other day, the fish rots from the head up. The head of the Democrats rots as much as the head to the Republicans.
No matter what happens on Election Day, the stench in DC will remain.
Jane, first of all, many thanks for referring to Wes Clark as a “high profile Democrat”… sadly, that’s an appellation rarely directed his way and much appreciated… and (in my opinion) well deserved…
Secondly, it truly is disgraceful how the Democratic leadership has for all intents and purposes abandoned Ned Lamont… as if the primary was their “point made” moment and they suddenly realized how beholden they really are to Joementum… clearly they’re much more afraid of what might happen should Lieberman win than excited by the prospect of Lamont winning…that and the realization that if it can happen to Joementum, it can happen to any of them, and THAT’S what they’re more afraid of than even the perpetuation of the Republican stranglehold on our government… names should be committed to memory and a self-fulfilling prophecy should be in the offing for any and all of them who’ve helped to perpetrate this charade…
This is the wrong time to get incensed about this; we should not be devoting time and energy to thinking about how the DC Establishment is in cahoots with Lieberman when we need to focus all of our efforts against the Republicans. I am speechless with anger about what a total sell-out Joe has become in his old age, and I think he should have been kicked out out of the caucus once he decided to run against the Democratic candidate chosen by the Democratic voters of Connecticut, but now is the worst moment to become discouraged about the Democratic party leadership. Let’s not lose heart, particularly because Joe has no GOTV except the Republicans, and a lot of them are going to hesitate at the very least before plucking Loserman’s lever way down the ballot.

I’m not sure that “they” have actually thought through the consequences in such detail, but that REALLY is the message that it is being sent- shape up, or it will happen to you…

I’ve wanted to write a “Wake the Fuck UP!!!” post at the Lamont Blog, but I’ll practice here first.
What is wrong with the Lamont Campaign?
Ever since the Primary, he hires Clinton Loser consultants, and runs as Lieberman-Lite. Guess who’s in the lead? If the people of Connecticut want a Lieberman, they’ll go for the real thing.
I’m not saying Wolfson is a plant, but the Clinton’s luv them some Lieberman — and ever since the primary, insurgent Ned Lamont has gone dark, while the mainstream suck up Lieberman Lite has muddied the message.
Ned Lamont needs to go on the ATTACK, and go back to his NetRoots and GrassRoots Insurgent Hero persona.
Itty bitty little calculated offensives ain’t gonna cut it — Ned Lamont booted it after the primary, and he’s got 4 or 5 days to get his mojo back.
“written by a Washington-based British journalist and political observer”
Insert the word “drunken” just before ‘Washington-based’ and I believe we see Christopher Hitchens.
DeWitt Grey @ 32
No one here at FDL is going to take their eye off November 7. We are all focused on it and working tirelessly to get Democrats elected across the country. That includes all of us who are critical of the current party leadership.
Back from canvassing and sign repairs in the fresh snow. Am I getting too old to lift up a 4-foot by 8-foot sign that as been chopped up and graffiti’d all by myself? Apparently, yes. Gotta see the doc about my left shoulder. I turn 60 Friday, but I’ve never been so energized by what I’m hearing canvassing.
A friend’s husband is involved with the Don Young campaign, and he told her Young did their own poll Friday and it shows Benson down by 5 - up four from early in the week. Benson’s poll was before a spate of newspaper and radio articles around the state highly critical of Young and before their sole debate on Wednesday, which introduced a lot of viewers and listeners to Diane for the first time.
They don’t plan on releasing it, but Young’s CM countered Benson’s poll to the media with a total fabrication about their results - saying she wasn’t anywhere near as close as she is. When a TV news guy asked when they were going to release the poll, Young’s guy replied it was for internal use only…..

Just askin’
So Jane, wha’s your take on the Lamont campaign? You were on the ground there for two months; did he sit on the lead or have other events just overtaken the focus on CT?
-ck- @ 37
Ned is not an empty vessel into which people project what they want to see.
This is Ned:
Ned Lamont has run a far less polished campaign than Mr. Lieberman, but the more we see of him, the more impressed we are by his intelligence and his growing sophistication about the issues facing the nation. He is very much in the Connecticut mold of basically moderate, principled politicians, and his willingness to take on Mr. Lieberman when no one else dared to do it showed real courage and conviction. He would make a good senator. More important, he has the capacity to continually become a better one. We endorse Ned Lamont for Senate.
I wish Arianna and her minions would give it a rest.
Former chairs of the DLC:
President Bill Clinton
Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana
Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut
Rep. Dave McCurdy of Oklahoma
Sen. John Breaux of Louisiana
Sen. Sam Nunn of Georgia
Sen. Charles Robb of Virginia
Former House Democratic Leader Rep. Richard Gephardt of Missouri.

That’s what I’m saying…as the whole campaign season has heated up and events have overtaken the Thugs, CT ain’t the only game in town like it was this summer.
And Dab, did my email ever come through?
Twisted Martini @ 47
I think that while the blogosphere got mindfucked by the irrelevant Q-Poll, the Lamont campaign just kept doing their thing.
Joe is obviously scared, and not because he’s any 17 points ahead. He can’t make up for the ground game Lamont has by buying one of his own so he’s got to have a solid lead, and in an extremely volatile race the momentum is on the Lamont side.
Joe is not sleeping easily. But neither should Lamont. This is anybody’s race and one big mistake could swing the race either way. It’s balls-to-the-wall.
I have been saying this for the past month. The fact that DC Dems have stayed out of CT and supporting Ned has been an endorsement of Lieberman.
If Ned loses, I will never, never, never give another dime or minute to any DC Dem. That may mean that I will have no one ever to vote for in the future (except WES CLARK!!), but I will give up voting in return for what DC Dems have done to those of us in CT who chose our candidate on August 8th.
F*ck ‘em if they can’t take a joke!
When I first started commenting here in the summer 0f 2005, I was still a Green Party of Alaska member. I’ve since joined your party and donated more money to Democratic Party candidates than in my entire life up till this late summer. The Dem Apparatchiks being so eloquently described here today are a large part of what is keeping 5 million young people from participating in politics. And another 3 or 4 million people like me who have long felt or known about your so-called leaders what you are so painfully learning this past 3 months……..
Ed*ard Teller — good for you, sore shoulder and all!! You are obviously making a measurable dent in Young’s *ss if they are holding the cards so close to their vest. If internals were better, they’d share them. I’d bet you folks are sidling up to MOE. Bravo!!
DeWitt Grey — I’m with *xyz, will be working full time and then some this next week at the local Dem org office, cooking dinners for them several nights after manning phones all day. We are taking NOTHING for granted here on the ground; only the responses we get from voters dictate what we do.
But we absolutely MUST be able to think and act both tactically (on the election pre-game right now) and on the strategic (post-election through 2008 and 2010) RIGHT NOW, at the same time. In my home state, the election of party officials must occur within 30 days of the election, with candidate slates being lined up at this very moment for executive boards and committee chairs, along with identifying delegates who are needed to vote for a slate to win.
[FIREPUPS: NOTE THAT LAST BIT CAREFULLY — you need to be a registered Democratic Party member in your state RIGHT NOW, for this purpose. This is where YOU make the difference in the party for which you are working so damned hard!!!]
And in my hometown, we have already earned a critical mass of delegates, are already courting/being courted for our votes, have a partial slate aligned, and are prepared to seat the next party chair. The slate we’ve got in mind may completely upend the old school entrenched powerbase, rock their little world to its core. And the same folks will in turn shape the state party and how it relates to the DNC.
And on through the rest of the food chain.
Go to your local and state party websites, find out what the process is for the party elections; if you don’t see anything, wait until immediately after the election and call the party and ask them for details. (Don’t call between now and election, everybody will be working to get progressives elected. Just make sure you’ve paid your party membership dues between now and then; they could use the money for their GOTV efforts.) And then get yourself inserted into the process of creating the new Democratic organization.
Twisted Martini - let me go check the bulk mail filter

I haven’t heard or read that before and would be very interested in seeing a link that backs that up. Thanks

What strange Evil Parallel Universe is this?
For 2 years we’ve been singing the praises of Democrats, fighting tooth and nail and $$$ to make sure they take over Congress.

I sure hope undecided voters aren’t reading this…
The view here remains unchanged. Lamont will win.
Rayne @ 58
When I started volunteering for Diane Benson, I didn’t think she could win unless more of what will inevitably come out about Young did come out before the election. But I had faith she’d be an important PROGRESSIVE Dem to help rebuild the party on the ruins of the Dem Apparatchiks.
But I’m increasingly believing she might pull this off, even without another Young scandal.

WaPo - The Fix, by Chris Calizza, July 20, 2006
I guess it depends on what the meaning of ’support’ is.
;>)
balrog,
It’s just being realistic. The Republicans are criminal and incompetent. Establishment Democrats are feckless or we would have seen them acting (from their postions of leadership) like an opposition party sometime in the last 6 years. There are other Democrats out there who are very, very good. Being fact based, we need to stay fact based. Even feckless is better than the Republican alternative.
Balrog — The real Democratic Party — the one that Howard Dean referred to as “the Democratic Wing of the Democratic Party” — believes in the tenets of democratic process (little d).
That includes oversight, not just between the separate and co-equal arms of our federal government, but within our own ranks, within our own party.
It is a testament to the nature of our beliefs that we hold the feet of our Democratic leaders to the fire, asking them to walk the walk. You’ll note that the Republicans do not do this; they circle up the wagons no matter how corrupt their members may be.
That don’t fly here. Leaders of the Democratic Party must support the outcome of untainted democratic elections; if they don’t, they do not subscribe to the values of our party and should expect to be pummeled for it.
Undecided voters reading this should understand that we will demand the same kind of performance from Democratic leaders who are elected to serve the public trust; we will brook no breach of that trust from our own.
Oklahoma Kiddo:
They haven’t disappointed me because I’ve always been suspect of the Clintons since NAFTA. My biggest disappointment has been Barbara Boxer. I am red-faced with shame that she hasn’t been there for Ned in a big, enthusiastic way.
I’m a little disappointed in Feingold. Why, Russ?
But the Lamont/Lieberman general has been the real litmus test that exposes the pols for who they really are for: the people or the aristocratic ruling class.

My BF (best friend) in CT told me recently that when Clinton was in law school at Yale, he worked on a Lieberman campaign. I haven’t checked this out on the google, but would have been ~1970-1973, for whatever Joe was running for at the time.
Valley Girl @ 65
Oh.
IF this race wasn’t a “litmus test” from the moment Joe Lieberman quit the party, it sure as hell oughta be after his vote on torture and habeus corpus.

Balrog @ 62
Balrog, I think readers of FDL are intelligent enough to know that support for the Democratic party and criticism of certain actions of its leadership are not mutually exclusive of one another. We believe in the Democratic party and we will work relentlessly on its behalf in the days leading up to November 7.
However, this is also no time to give the leadership of our party a free pass. They must be made aware that they will be held accountable for their actions in the days leading up to this election. Doing so gives them time to shape up.
For example - it really isn’t too late for President Clinton to hop in his car and drive half an hour to Connecticut to stump for Ned. I hope he does it.
And he should know, for the sake of his wife’s political career, that there will be severe political consequences for her if he doesn’t.

I can’t argue with this or for it, but I have to wonder just what kind of politicians they are if they don’t consider the political consequences of their actions or things that happen. It’s like an engineer who doesn’t consider possible failure modes of a design, or a doctor who prescribes medication before checking for contraindications. In short, if they’re not doing it they’re not any good at their jobs.
Balrog —
Hmmph. If there’d been /snark tag, I’d have skipped the reply.
On the other hand, it doesn’t hurt for us to be able to clearly articulate the beef we have with certain less-than-adequate Dems.
“For 2 years we’ve been singing the praises of Democrats, fighting tooth and nail and $$$ to make sure they take over Congress.
Now, one week before the election, we are devoting an entire thread to what scumbags they are and how we shall have revenge.
I sure hope undecided voters aren’t reading this…”
There’s a difference between Democrats and the Democratic Leadership. Voting a Democratic Congress is only part 1. Part 2 is cutting off the rotten head. The way to do this is to get in some honest people like Webb and Tester and hope they don’t do a Barak, who has decided the way to get ahead is to hitch himself with the leadership instead of kicking its butt to clear it out of the way. My point is that until part 2 occurs, the difference between a GOP held Congress and a Democrat held Congress will be more apparent than real. At least when the GOP is in control, we don’t have to hold our nose to ignore the stench.
Cozumel @ 85
Going through a bunch of articles, but seems both Clintons were very careful to word their responses that they would support the primary winner.
I guess their idea of support was a check and a fundraiser.
