Senate Race in Connecticut

On the Campaign in Connecticut, an interesting article by Kevin Rennie, Revelations Could Roil Senate Race , which show that in ordinary circumstances both Candidates, Ned Lamont and Senator Joe Lieberman would have a problem with the Democratic base but because of their views on the War in Iraq, the Long Term Senator faces losing in the Primary and having to run as an Independent. Thus to counter this the Lieberman Campaign is calling in Bill Clinton, The Advocate - Experts: Clinton visit may give Lieberman momentum , the article’s main point being that Bill Clinton should reminded the voters that it was Lieberman’s tough stand on Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky that saved him. The author of Primary Colours, Joe Klein has an interesting article in Time, in essence he likes the Senator but on the major issue of Iraq he thinks the Senator is wrong and must deal with the issue, TIME.com -- Joe Klein: Lieberman's Last Stand . On the Blogs we have Daily Kos: State of the Nation, the Primary will show if Political Blogs on the left can support candidates who win or will they just be another Howard Dean, aka 2004.
