AP: Lieberman kicks off go-it-alone campaign

Stripped of support from the Democratic Party and working with a new campaign staff, Sen.
Joe Lieberman kicked off his independent bid for re-election Thursday with a visit planned to this gritty city that last year re-elected a mayor who lost his party’s primary.

Lieberman’s late-morning visit to a Waterbury pizza joint — his first public appearance since losing Tuesday’s primary and his first since dismissing his campaign staff — was to thank Waterbury for its fervent support during the primary. Lieberman won 60 percent of the vote here in his narrow loss to anti-war candidate Ned Lamont.

But it’s also notable because Waterbury last year re-elected a mayor, Michael Jarjura, who lost his Democratic primary but won the general election in a write-in campaign.

In the meantime, the Leftie NUTTERS who defeated Lieberman are whining. Arianna and MarKOS want to pressure Lieberman into withdrawing from the race, so he will not beat up on their lackey, Ned Lamont.

Markos Moulitsas “Screw Them” Zuniga and David Sirota even suggest stripping Lieberman of his Senate Committee assignments.

But, will Lieberman bow to calls of his betrayal of the Democrat Party?

Doubtful…..

Ned Lamont may actually have to develop a platform – something other than Bush LIED and BDS…..

Anyone hear that John McCain was going to Connecticut to campaign for Lieberman?

Stay tuned………
