The one bright spot for the GOP this election cycle has been the success of Joe Lieberman's reelection run so far. Red State is ecstatic:

Amusingly, the netroots is now hyping the candidacy of Republican Alan Schlesinger, who is also a candidate for the Connecticut Senate seat in the event that anyone has forgotten. The netroots seems to believe that this will somehow trick Republicans into voting for a non-viable candidate and allow Lamont to sneak his way past Lieberman for the Senate seat. And somehow, they seem to think that no one is wise to this.

If the Republicans are able to hold Lieberman's seat, it certainly will be the biggest win of the cycle for the Republicans.

More reason to redouble our efforts for the Democratic candidate, Ned Lamont.

    Even if Lieberman does win, it's still a victory for Democrats, because he will no longer be able to give rightwing proposals the color of bipartisanship.
