These polls about Lieberman's independency and him being ahead don't seem to reflect one thing...
If he loses the primary the stain of being a "LOSER" is going to stink an awful lot.
Look for his polling to drop exponentially if he loses to Lamont in the primary.

Sen. John Kerry has spent a career taking the side of America's enemies. His call last week for a pullout from Iraq was the latest evidence he is unfit to serve in the Senate — never mind the White House.
Kerry's proposal to withdraw us completely from Iraq by July of next year was resoundingly defeated in the Senate by a vote of 86 to 13. And just days before, he said the deadline should be the end of this year.
But Kerry's idea is the exact opposite of what he was calling for in late 2003 while running for president. Back then he was accusing President Bush of planning to prematurely withdraw from Iraq.
"I fear that in the run-up to the 2004 election the administration is considering what is tantamount to a cut-and-run strategy," Kerry told the Council on Foreign Relations. He said it would be "a disaster and a disgraceful betrayal of principle" to allow "a politically expedient withdrawal of American troops."
That's one of but many Kerry flip-flops, but he's been consistent over the years in siding against the U.S. in war.
John Kerry is a truly despicable human being.

Jon Benet's Mom
A paedophile and a child molestor are two different, though sometimes overlapping and commonly conflated, things. A child molestor is erely someone who attacks children, possibly because of a non-paedophile sociopathy that prizes coital friction above human rights and sees other people as convenient tools to get off with. In this sense they are an advanced sort of rapist. A paedophile has a mental disorder where they regard children as sexually beautiful (and often, more "pure" and "uncorrupted" than adults), but they do not necessarily all molest.
So Jon Benet's parent's, and all those creeps in the child beauty hobby, are almost certainly paedophiles, but they are not necessarily molestors.

In Breaking Open the Head, Daniel Pinchbeck tells the story of Robert, who one day in the Sixties consumed three Fly Agarics with some friends. To their disappointment, nothing seemed to happen. Until he went to the kitchen to grab a beer:
I took out the beer, turned around, and across the kitchen there were three huge mushrooms staring at me - a five foot tall, a four foot tall, and a three foot tall mushroom. The mushrooms were red and yellow and they had little eyes and little mouths. They looked just as solid and real as me or you.
Robert and the mushrooms stared at each other, until the largest asked, "Why did you eat us?" Robert thought, and then replied, "I was just following my dream."

The mushrooms conferred with each other. Finally they seemed satisfied by his answer. "But are you prepared to follow this path?" the tallest Fly Agaric asked. Robert answered, intuitively and without hesitation, "Yes I am." Whereupon the mushrooms vanished. Fifteen years passed before Robert realized that the path he had agreed to follow was plant shamanism.
(Unknown at the time to Robert, Paul Devereux writes in The Long Trip that "the spirits of the mushrooms might appear to the individual and converse with him directly.... The number seen depends on the number of mushrooms consumed.")
A friend of Robert's who also ate Fly Agarics received a similar visitation, and was also asked "Why did you eat us?" But he answered, "I was trying to get high." The mushrooms told him, "Well, if you ever do this again, we're going to kill you."

I would like to see it that way, but my fear is that if he runs as an independent, he's going to win. NPR said yesterday that a 3-way poll between Lamont, Lieberman, and whoever the Republican candidate is would have Lieberman winning easily. Something tells me that if he wins as an independent, he is not going to caucus with the Democrats.
I guess control of the Senate is kind of a long shot anyway, but boy would it suck if we had 50 senators plus Lieberman, who caucuses with the Pugs as an independent and thus gives them control of the agenda. I think I would rather tolerate his smarmy ass in his seat as it stands than live with that outcome.
Does anybody have a link to some poll numbers on this scenario? I would really like to think that that NPR reporter was talking out her ass.

Oh, I think you can pretty much ignore their bullshit...
Is Quinnipiac bullshit too? I went and found their most recent poll, and it says that:
Lieberman defeats Republican challenger Alan Schlesinger 68 - 14 percent;
Lamont beats Schlesinger 37 - 20 percent, with 34 percent undecided;
Running as an independent, Lieberman gets 56 percent, to 18 percent for Lamont and 8 percent for Schlesinger.
56 to 18? That is a lot of ground to make up between now and November. Meybe Lamont is still too much of a nonentity to get good name recognition, but that doesn't seem right to me, since the race has been getting national-level coverage already. That means that from where it stands today, Lamont has to get all of the undecided vote, hold Schlesinger to the 8% he has, and peel another 10% off of Lieberman. Ouch. If Lamont beats him in the primary, we'd better set him up with some transvestite hookers and get pictures.

The small stone chapel that local people once used for baptisms, first communions and weddings is now a storeroom and the sign that read Hotel Mercéi has been replaced by a glowing piece of neon announcing that this is now a busy brothel called Madam's.
Selling sex is, as this thriving, 50-room "macro-brothel" shows, a far more lucrative business than catering for the family celebrations of a scattered population of farmers and wine-growers in this north-eastern corner of Spain.

I HATE those child beauty pageants with a passion.
I agree. They are an egregious example of an adult projecting his or her own inadequecies on their children.

Do you, or anyone else flogging this horse, have anything resembling actual evidence of what you are asserting?

I'm sorry the woman died at 49...and of ovarian cancer, which is a horrible way to go.
And that she suffered for years with it.

I don't think that the distinction matters if you just consider all people who exploit and abuse children as being one in the same. People who treat children as objects are abusing them, whether it's with their genitals, by making them work in sweat shops or by the horrid exploitation of them in beauty contests.
There was a brilliant documentary that followed these women around, pimping their little girls. Can't remember the name of it at the moment, but it was incredibly telling.
The psychological and emotional abuse that they heaped on those poor little girls was devastating. And all because they themselves wanted to the attention. Munchausen-by-proxy.

of course, it should have read:
all because they themselves wanted to be the center of attention.

I think I watched the same documentary.

I can't stand Dr. Phil, but I was channel-surfing one night and caught him going off on these child beauty pageants.
He HATES them! He said that the mothers need to get lives of their own and stop trying to live through their children.

Asda is to take legal action in an attempt to head off a planned five-day strike by thousands of workers at its distribution depots, the supermarket giant announced.
Members of the GMB union are due to walk out next Friday in a long-running dispute over pay, health and safety and national bargaining.
The union warned that the strike would have a big impact on the company's stores.
It predicted that shelves would be empty within days.
Asda said it had written to the union saying it planned to seek an injunction against the strike because of "serious irregularities" in a ballot of workers.

The "pageant circuit" is rather like dog shows of children.

I am also sorry for Patsy Ramsey, she had been fighting off that cancer for at least a decade.
I have not seen anything except idle speculation that the parent's were in any way, shape or form connected with JonBenet's death.

For women, too.
Why do young women have to parade around like prostitutes at a brothel to get college scholarships?
That sucks.

I'd like to play Ramsey on HBO if they'd let me smoke. I could bring depth to TV.

Kerry would have made a great president. There's no doubt in my minnd that he could have been another Ralph Bellamy.

The authorities blew it.
They focuses on the Ramseys right from the get-go and didn't even investigate other leads.
So convenient to blame the parents.

As compared to Bush, who is on his way to becoming another Adolf Hitler.
