Lieberman Falls Short on Recruits

[Rose Siding]

Sen. Joseph Lieberman’s (D-CT) Tour for Tomorrow continues to be punctuated with today’s struggles to save his troubled campaign. In the aftermath of a Quinnipiac poll this morning showing the three term Democrat far behind behind challenger Ned Lamont in Tuesday’s primary, Lieberman must decide how or if to salvage his get-out-the-vote operation.

Word is leaking out of the campaign that efforts to hire and organize several thousand itinerant campaign workers have fallen far short of expectations and necessity. Lieberman and his battered brain trust will now have to decide whether to continue investing funds in that effort or save money for November. These primary troubles are a preview of what he can expect in his new life as an independent should he lose on Tuesday. Much of his weak campaign organization will dutifully head to the triumphant Democratic nominee or simply sit out the race.

Party professionals are appalled at the parlous state of Lieberman’s campaign organization. And that’s something it takes more than a few weeks to build. The invoice for neglecting Connecticut Democrats for the past six years is now due. It’s a ruinous sum for George Bush’s favorite Senate Democrat.

...with a grain of salt, of course, because it isn't over until it's over.

4. If LIEberman is PAYING for "Volunteers"...

this is a great opportunity to take some of Joe's money, provided you do a really shitty job.

6. Is the "Kiss Float" still following him around everywhere?

Here's the Kiss Float in action. Hope Joe appreciates all the work this guy is doing.
