How about this: Joe runs as an independent and wins, then runs in 2008 with John McCain (flip a coin for pres & VP). That might be the first 3rd party vote in memory with a chance of winning. |

That’s what Unity ’08 was proposing. Snowball? Meet Hell. They’re both pro-war. If we’re still in Iraq in Nov. ’08, that ticket wouldn’t get 5% nationwide. |

More likely, I think, is that the Republican and Lieberman split the GOP vote and Lamont wins by 40 points. There’s ample evidence at this point that Republicans like him a whole lot more than do Democrats. His independent run will only serve to push the Dems who voted for him into Lamont’s camp. |
