He is showing true colors and his loyalty and support to the democratic party. Iam happy he lost primaries.

Lieberman is running as an Independant because he thinks he can still win. Since there is no real Republican running in the race, most Republicans will vote for him. Also Lieberman is also supported by many independants who as you know could not vote in the primary. So if Lieberman can still have a good amount of the 48 percent of those who voted for him in the primary he has quite a good chance. Kerry only beat Bush by about 165,000 votes out of about 1.5 million. If the same amount show up November (highly unlikely) Lieberman only needs 800,000 votes. I mean if Bush could get almost 700,000 in Connecticut, I'm sure Lieberman could do just as good. However, this is just my opinion.

This is a good thing. We need "big" people to step into the third parties so we can finally move away from the domination of 2 parties and picking the lesser of two evils. I hope he is running to start an entire movement.

It worries me that he is running as an independent. It's not because I care whether or not he is loyal to the democratic party or not but he'll take away votes from the republican side. This is bad because Ned Lamont is an evil man. I would rather have a retarded clam as my senator than Ned Lamont.

Probably because he knows that a lot of democrats turned their backs on him for his support of war.

He thinks he was 'cheated' by the other democratic guy, so he's opting for the INDEP becasue he still wants to be in thre running.

It doesn't matter...without any real support he won't be able to raise the cash to stay in the race.
