An opponent for Lieberman

Former senator and governor of Coonecticut Lowell Weicker may run against Lieberman next year . Weicker was a liberal republican who turned independent. He was defeated by Lieberman when he sought a fourth Senate term as a republican in 1988. In 1990, Weicker was elected governor while running as an independent.

Weicker can win over Lieberman. He can get all the democratic liberal votes and most votes of people dissatisfied with the Iraq war and the support of Lieberman for the war. He is also popular among some republicans, as in the past he was a republican himself (albeit liberal). He recently said:"I have seen this country propagandized into war. It's now a second wave of propagandizing, with the president taking the stump, joined by persons like Senator Joe Lieberman."

I think he will end up running and I hope that he will win and send senator Lieberman out of the senate. If that happens, dont worry about Lieberman. I am sure Dick Cheney will help Lieberman get a job as an advisor to Halliburton or something like that.
