Peter King foe wants a Conn. repeat for LI (Lamont voters bigots) [View All]

[Renew Deal]

Nassau Legis. David Mejias (D-North Massapequa), like others across the nation, has watched the Connecticut Senate race as a gauge of support for Republican President George W. Bush's administration, including the war in Iraq.

"If Joe Lieberman is in trouble, imagine how much trouble Peter King is in," said Mejias, who was in Washington yesterday gathering support for his bid to oust the veteran King (R-Seaford) as Connecticut Democrats went to the polls. "King should be watching this race very closely."

King said the Connecticut primary has no bearing on his re-election race because "fortunately, the Third District is not composed of the left-wing bigots who went after Joe Lieberman."

On Long Island, Nassau GOP leader Joseph Mondello said there is no correlation between the Lieberman primary and King's bid for re-election. "Peter's stance is not anti-war or pro-war but a matter of principle. I think Long Island agrees with him. And God bless Joe Lieberman. I wish him all the luck in the world."
