Greenwich Time reports that LIEberman is hosting Senate Majority Leader Senator Harry Reid for a fundraiser in Greenwich. And Nancy DiNardo might actually attend:
DiNardo hasn't committed yet to attending the reception for Reid, saying that there is a fundraiser for U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., the same afternoon in New Haven.
So after derailing the public option, which would have been the most important public health innovation since Medicaid, campaigning virtually full-time for the Republican presidential candidate in 2008, even after he had promised to work to elect a Democrat, after praising the far-right whack-job Sarah Palin, and implying that he supported Chris Shays for re-election against Democrat Jim Himes, not only is Harry Reid showing up with him in Greenwich, but state central committee chairwoman Nancy DiNardo is actually considering showing up.
GT's right-wing reporter Vigdor notes Reid's 33% approval rating, but conveniently neglects to mention Lieberman's own approval ratings:
Public Policy Polling in March put Lieberman's at 25%, with 67% disapproving. That put him third from the bottom in the entire Senate.
Quinnipiac had LIEberman at 39% approval for all Nutmeggers with 54% disapproving. Just 27% of Connecticut Democrats approved of Lieberman, while 67% disapproved.
Let's repeat that: two and a half times as many CT Democrats disapprove of Lieberman than approve of him. Or put another way, fully two-thirds of all of us Democrats can't stand him. So why is Harry Reid rubbing our noses in Lieberman? Again? And in Ned Lamont's hometown, Jim Himes' hometown (who had the courage to oppose Lieberman and strongly back Lamont early in 2006)? And Nancy DiNardo is actually considering attending?
Just what does it take to make people understand that we Democrats despise Joe Lieberman? |
