Joementum

The networks are projecting a win for Lieberman in Connecticut.

Lieberman's had quite a journey.  Months ago, he was shamed in his own party's primary, and possibly looking at the end of his political career.  Should the Senate end in a tie, or with a two-seat lead for the Democrats, the least libertarian member of the U.S. Senate could soon be the most powerful man in Congress.

Wow, that email comments thingy was kinda nifty for the 45 seconds it was up.

I will cry if Joe Lieberman wins.
I will cry real tears if both Liberman and Allen win.
I will cry real tears and tear out a bit of hair if Lieberman, Allen and Kyl win.

My only consolations thus far tonight have been the downfalls of Ann Northup and Mike Sodrel.

Yes, I know, apropos of not much, at least in respect to "Joementum", but I had to get it out of my system. Please forgive me.

With Santorum gone, Lieberman is now the most powerful religious fanatic in the Senate.

I did my part and voted against him. The AP has already called the race for Lieberman, with only 4% of the precincts reporting. Does anyone know how that's possible?

The Hit & Run prognosticators buried Lieberman a few short months ago. Put a stake through his heart and shot him with a silver bullet for good measure. Gloated over his demise for several days. Spoke of him in the past tense. How's that crow taste? Kinda gamey? Hee hee.
