#13  Happy birthday Fred.

So how was it when Rantburg consisted of a stack of punched cards anyway?

In any case its time to hit the tip jar!

Home Front: Politix
In Connecticut, Poll Finds Lamont Way Behind
Heh.
A new Public Opinion Strategies (R) poll finds Ned Lamont (D) trailing Sen. Joe Lieberman (I), 51% to 35%, in the Connecticut U.S. Senate race. Republican Alan Schlesinger receives 4% of the vote, while 10% remain undecided.

Key finding: When asked which candidate is running a negative campaign, 40% say Lamont compared to 19% for Lieberman.
Remember, this is a blue state, and the moonbats get 1/3 of the vote.

#1  In Connecticut, Pole Finds Way to Lamonts Behind

There. Fixed it for you.

#2  Haven't we seen this once before?

Aiyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Posted by: gorb || 09/08/2006 1:06 Comments || Top||

#3  I think the proper infinitive to use here would be "up", aaahhh, or since he's numbers are bending over
should this case be -- pole "down" he's behind --
Posted by: en emma || 09/08/2006 1:11 Comments || Top||

#4  'bout time the Independents took over the Senate...Lot's of Joementum here! Let's hear it for the Poles in Connecticut!

#5 
hehe - Markos the Anchor sinks another.. They should name a bomb or a torpedo after Kos..
Posted by: macofromoc || 09/08/2006 1:14 Comments || Top||

#6  Isn't the Hildabeast campaigning or at least rootin the the grandstands for Lamont? Another resounding flop for her credibility.

I, for one, would like to see more independents in the Senate, who would break up the stranglehold that the corrupt dems and repubs have on the legislative body. Both parties need their a$$es kicked from here to Sunday. The republicans need just plain kicking and the dems need kicking right out the door.

#7  Jersey polls have Kean leading Martinez, Gonzalez, Ruiz whatever. Another donk loss.
Posted by: wxjames || 09/08/2006 10:38 Comments || Top||

#8  this Connecticut poll is from a contractor working for Lieberman

take with grain of salt
Posted by: mhw || 09/08/2006 11:25 Comments || Top||

#9  Kean maybe leading in NJ, but its cold comfort because that guy is a walking talking definition of RINO. That idiot Chaffee in RI is a flat out conservative stud compared to Kean.
Posted by: JerseyMike || 09/08/2006 11:41 Comments || Top||

#10  How about "Lamont taking a poll up the a**"?
Posted by: mcsegeek1 || 09/08/2006 11:53 Comments || Top||

#11  Oh, and to Connecticut Dems: HA HA HA HA HA

Now go away or I will taunt you a second time!
Posted by: mcsegeek1 || 09/08/2006 11:54 Comments || Top||

#12  Jersey Mike, Kean will be a rookie. He will want good committee assignments. He will have to play nice if the repubs pick an ass kicker as leader.
(Lott and Frist should have shit on Lindsey Gramme, but they were fluffy).
Posted by: wxjames || 09/08/2006 12:57 Comments || Top||

#13  As I said a month ago, Lieberman's going to stick it up the Dem's ass and break it off. Take that White Bread Ned.

Iraq
Kirkuk Railway Station Rebuilt
Neglected and oppressed during the Saddam era, the citizens of Iraq's northern city of Kirkuk are now rising to rebuild their city and their country’s economy. With operations back on-line in the local oil fields, additional infrastructure preparation for further economic growth is underway.

I know there's a couple of repressed railroaders out there.... More, including a couple of pictures, at link.
