CT bloggers not allowed in to see Clinton and Lieberman.
ACCESS DENIED
By Spazeboy
July 25, 2006

What do you do when the people you represent want to be represented by someone else? What do you do when the your highest approval ratings come from members of the party you claim to differentiate yourself from? What do you do when you’re down and desperate?

You call in some Democrats with bona fides, and keep the public – especially bloggers who happen to be both constituents and registered Democrats – the hell out.

So unless you were living under a rock, you heard that former President Bill Clinton came to Waterbury on Monday to rally the troops behind soon-to-be former U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman. The visit was announced last week, just before the latest Quinnipiac Poll showed that Ned Lamont holds a four-point lead over Lieberman.

Receiving far less hullabaloo than the Clinton visit, another staunchly liberal Democrat made the trip into Connecticut in a futile attempt to raise Lieberman’s street cred with voters. Barbara Boxer doesn’t seem to have much in common with Senator Lieberman. After all, she stood up to the Bush administration by voting against the confirmation of Supreme Court Justices John Roberts AND Samuel Alito.
