Uh Oh. Joementum's Indy petitions not Kosher? LOL

[elehhhhna]

City officials in Bridgeport and Waterbury said they have yet to review any Lieberman petitions. Waterbury Town Clerk Antoinette Spinelli said she was surprised because that city was "a stronghold" for Lieberman in the primary.

Shirley Surgeon, Hartford's Democratic registrar of voters, said she is verifying 59 pages of signatures delivered to that city's town clerk last week.

Although each petition contains room for 30 signatures, Surgeon said the majority of those she received contain about half that, and several have been disqualified.

"Out of 15 on this first page, nine were good," Surgeon said.

4. Oh please let it be so.

If anyone could commit political suicide it's Joementum. His campaign was awful.
But he is a Rove wet dream so I hope he implodes before Karl loans out some sharks.

6. how could you miss the most important sentence in the story?

Norwalk Democratic Registrar Betty Bondi said if the rest of Lieberman's petitions are as "sloppy" as that one piece of paper, his chances to make it onto the ballot do not look good.

10. It would be such a relief if he doesn't have enough valid signatures...

...and we can focus our efforts on the many other races.

13. Naw, He'll go on the conservative lecture circuit...

...and complain about "radical leftist dirty tricks" that kept him off the ballot, to an audience that'll eat it up (in between their crackers and caviar).

[Norquist Nemesis]

15. Blame it on Democrats

and accuse the registrar of being partisan. Then he'll give Ben Ginsberg a call.

12. Actually, this would be a nice way for Joe to bow out and save face at the

same time.
