Connecticut election law requires that Joe Lieberman choose a name for his party. The name cannot incorporate the words ‘Democratic’ or ‘Republican’ and cannot use ‘unaffiliated’ or ‘none’. So, Joe had to come up with a catchy name for his party-of-one. He chose Connecticut for Lieberman. As Atrios noted, “Shoulda just called it “Lieberman for Lieberman”.
Glenn Greenwald’s latest on Neoconservatism and Joe Lieberman is a can’t miss.
Meanwhile, Democracy Arsenal asks:
