Don't let that headline become a reality.
Because it is a cold, hard reality for thousands of decent, hardworking Democrats just to our east in Maine. Last year's Connecticut Democratic senate primary loser Joe Lieberman will continue to kick his former party in the teeth by holding a fundraiser for Republican Susan Collins tonight.
Think about the collision of these two statements:
1) Those who have been following Lieberman lately know that, issues and parties be damned, Joe is really all about Joe. And pro-Iraq war Joe is a senator in overwhelmingly anti-Iraq war New England. He's a bit lonely right now.
2) Collins, a vulnerable New England Republican up for re-election, continues to enable the president on his "Iraq 4evah!" mission. Sound like anyone you know?
It's only a matter of time before John E. reaches out for some Joementum cover. But you can help put a stop to that by heading him off at the pass now.
Maine's Congressman Tom Allen, who is running to replace Collins, is holding an all-day virtual fundraiser to combat Lieberman's support for Collins. And he even wrote about it at our counterpart, Turn Maine Blue.
I know we've got a lot of pennies to save for our own candidates, but as they say, an ounce of prevention...
I repeat: don't let the headline of this post become a reality.
Morning After Update: I take it back! Turns out having Lieberman come to town for Sununu would be a cash cow for our Dem nominee.
