Politico has this story about the U.S. Senate race in Connecticut in 2012. It concludes that incumbent Joe Lieberman, who was elected as an independent in 2006, would have a difficult time winning as an independent again when his term is up in two years.
How many gerrymander MONSTERS are very UN-likely to be re-elected in 2012 — due to the latest and greatest EVIL computerized gerrymander districts using the instantly obsolete 2010 Census stats ???
— i.e. about 99 percent doom for lots of Donkey gerrymander monsters in Elephant controlled gerrymander regimes.
P.R. and App.V. — before the monsters start Civil WAR II.
Who is this lunatic ” demo rep ” who consistently writes these deranged comments ?
I don’t think that he would win as a Republican in Connecticut he has his best shot a an Independent.

# 2, 3 — Were the 19 Apr 1775 folks at Lexington and Concord deranged ???
Is this the New Age of armies of political MORONS or what ???
For NON-Morons –
ANTI-Democracy minority rule gerrymanders control mostly all at the moment in the U.S.A. —
1. Gerrymander U.S.A. House of Reps.
2. Gerrymander U.S.A. Senate (semi-permanent)
3. Gerrymander U.S.A. Electoral College for Prez/VP
4. Gerrymander State legislatures
5. Many local gerrymander regimes – along with defective at large regimes.
Gerrymanders = half the votes in half the gerrymander areas (political concentration camps) = about 25 percent minority rule by the party hack extremists — since 4 July 1776. Much worse in the U.S.A. Senate. Much worse due to primary math.

Also for non-MORONS – the American Revolution was directly due to the gerrymander in the Brit House of Commons (in 1775 full of *rotten boroughs* – old parts of England having FEW voters controlled by the King or Lords).
Relative major reform in the U.K. in the 1832 Great Reform Act – wiping out most of the rotten boroughs — only after a MAJOR political crisis in the regime. Brits still have their gerrymander districts for the House of Commons however.
——-
P.R. and App.V. before it is too late.
— almost a certain cert denial, but let’s all see if POTUS/CINC nbc eligibility cert is in fact denied to CDR Kerchner & Co. next Monday morning by SCOTUS.
CT may not be the most corrupt state in the Union, but it is close runner-up to RI and NV (not to mention IL, NY, CA, …)
Are the top Donkeys in 70 plus percent Donkey States more corrupt than the top Elephants in 70 plus percent Elephant States ??? — or just equally EVIL and corrupt ???
P.R. and nonpartisan App.V. – before it is too late.
If Republican John McCain could have persuaded Independent Senator Joe Lieberman to join him as his GOP running mate in 2008 as sort of a “Union Ticket” as Abraham Lincon did with Andrew Johnson in 1864, would the results have been different?
Or did Sarah Palin provide the 2008 GOP ticket the only “chance” it might have had? Just wonder what others think.
How about L as the Prez candidate and M as the VP candidate in 2008 ???
Anybody hear the word AIRHEAD applied to candidates ???
Richard: Is fusion allowed in Connecticut? Perhaps Lieberman could seek the GOP nomination and an “independent” line in the process. Those Democrats who still like Lieberman but who cannot in good conscience sake vote for him on the Republican ticket could do so on the “independent” line.
The gerrymander U.S.A. Senate is most likely THE most ANTI-Democracy legislative body in the U.S.A. —
due to the many blowhard Senators from the many below average SMALL States.
Sorry – the 2 Senators per State stuff was an EVIL Deal with the Devil in the 1787 top secret Fed. Convention — connected with the EVIL deals about the 3/5 slave clause in Art. I, Sec. 2 and the gerrymander structure of the Electoral College in Art. II.
i.e. Election law EVIL.
P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
#10, yes, Connecticut allows fusion. However it is not permitted in Connecticut for two brand new parties. Lieberman would have been wise to show some interest in the Connecticut for Lieberman Party, but that party has gone off the ballot because it got under 1% this year for U.S. Senate.
#8: Most Republicans would have considered it an insult for McCain to pick the same running mate as Algore did in 2000. The Republican Party at the grassroots is very much a pro-life party, and Lieberman, of course, is ‘pro-choice’ on abortion; he even thinks it’s OK to suck the brains out of babies. Lieberman is also quite liberal on overall domestic policy.
Reagan in 1980 asked George H. W. Bush to switch from ‘pro-choice’ to pro-life before Reagan went ahead and made him his running mate. GOP nominees for the top two spots will always be pro-life; a ‘pro-choice’ VP nominee would demoralize many at the grassroots.
Nevertheless, I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Lieberman, since he rid us of that a**hole Lowell Weicker in 1988.
BTW: Do you think Jim Folsom Jr. is finished in Alabama politics? He must really be liberal, since he endorsed Howard Dean for president in 2004.
How many New Age candidates in the U.S.a. have been elected with under 35 percent of the total votes ???
i.e. plurality madness — see the nuts in the U.K. House of Commons — 3 to 5 major party candidates plus zillions of minor parties in each gerrymander MP district — with the regime trying to change to having gerrymander district majority winners via the super-defective IRV system.
Steve Rankin: Yes, Jim Folsom is probably finished in Alabama politics. His defeat for re-election to Lt. Governor was a suprise to all. But too many GOPers pulled or scratched that “straight party” ticket and Kay Ivey (even to her surprise) slipped in. Same thing happened in 1964, 1994, and again this year.
The GOP controls the Legislatue for first time in over 135 years. It will be interesting to see how the Republicans will respond to reasonable ballot access legislation for 3rd party and independent candidates. I have a sneaky feeling, it’s going to be the same old arguments. As George Wallace said decades ago, “there’s not a dimes worth of difference…>
#15: George Wallace became a more loyal Democrat later in his career. He endorsed Jimmy Carter for president in 1976 and 1980. When Walter Mondale visited Wallace in Alabama during the ’84 primaries, Wallace said, “I feel kindly toward him.”
Did you know that Bill Rusher, publisher of National Review magazine, wanted to start a new party and run a Reagan-Wallace ticket? Rusher had little use for Wallace, but he thought that would be a winning ticket. Reagan, however, was not interested in leaving the Republican Party.
Steve Rankin: Yes, I knew there was some discussions among “dream ticket” advocates of a “Reagan-Wallace” ticket in 1980. Reagan was a “conservative” and Wallace was a “populist” and such would probably have not worked. However, I understand Wallace did send feelers to Barry Goldwater in 1964 to see if Goldwater would consider him as his VP nominee. Goldwater rejected the idea, but had he accepted it, he might have done better over all in the 1964 Election. Goldwater – with Wallace – might have won Florida and perhaps a couple other border states.
