Ford backs Lieberman
« on: October 18, 2006, 06:06:00 PM »


U.S. Congressman and Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Harold Ford Jr., D-Tenn., formally announced that he is supporting Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman’s re-election to the U.S. Senate.


Lieberman was defeated by billionaire Ned Lamont in the Democratic Primary this past August in Connecticut, but has continued his run for re-election as an independent candidate.


Only a handful of Democratic leaders are backing Lieberman and many of the party's most notable stalwarts, such as Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and Ted Kennedy are backing Lamont.

So is it actually hard for a Billionaire to buy a Senate seat these days?


Is the seat a potential Republican win at all?



I may have to vote for a Democratic incumbent in our house race , perhaps sending a few dollars to Lieberman's Republican opponent will salve my conscience.

Take solace in the fact that a Lieberman victory is a Kos Loss
