Joe running as an Independent with Senators support looks like this

[caligirl]

Come November if Boxer, Clinton and other Senators don't stand by the vote of Conneticut today, could they be stirring the pot as it was in 1968?

1. I don't know about Boxer, but I know Hillary already said she would

support the winner of the primary. I really doubt Joe will have ANY incumbant Senators supporting his Ind. run.

10. Boxer already said she would as well

I can't believe people on DU (not this post, but I've seen it elsewhere) are writing Boxer off as someone they "used to like" because of one primary endorsement they don't agree with. You aren't going to get a more liberal, hard-working, kick-ass senator than Barbara Boxer. Let's not start shooting ourselves in the face to spite Joe Lieberman's nose.

11. Five grand is already on the way.

She's the first one and true to her word.

:toast: :dem:

7. She is smart but I called her on this last month anyway. After the

primary thats it. they respect the vote or their toast.

8. there's no way around that, caligirl...

"they respect the vote or their toast" :patriot:

3. From this point forward, I expect DEMOCRATS to support

DEMOCRATIC nominees.

I think we'll see a lot of Democratic senators line up for the choice of Connecticut Democratic voters -- Ned Lamont.

9. All elected democrats have been served notice by this outcome.

I doubt they won't get it and support the independent candidate Lieberman.

12. Not only the Dems! The Pubs were sent a message too!

I can't recall what show I heard it on, but someone was saying how Pubs like Shays are going to be shaking in their shoes because they're going to look at this Joe thing and think "that could be me too!"

[mmonk]

14. Yes

It signals people want a new direction.

13. It's him finally admitting he is not a democrat.
