During the Connecticut Senate Democratic primary, Joe Lieberman said:

Ned Lamont seems just to be running against me, based on my stand on one issue, Iraq. . . . I'm a Democrat with a 35-year record of fighting for progressive causes, for the middle class, for civil rights, for women's rights, for human rights and a lot more. I voted with my Senate Democratic colleagues 90 percent of the time. . . .

Joe Lieberman, with Hugh Hewitt yesterday:

[JL:] . . . I’ve declared myself for now an independent. . . . So I’m just watching, and I’m not going to endorse anybody until after the two parties have their nominees, and I’m going to support whoever I think is best for the country, regardless of party. . . .

HH: Oh, that’s fascinating. Last question, how do you think history’s going to evaluate George W. Bush?

JL: . . . I think overall, over time, his ratings among the historians will be greater than his ratings in the polls today. . . .

Thank you Joe for demonstrating how right we were to oppose you for the Democratic nomination for Senate in Connecticut.
