1. Lieberman needs to go - away

[KingFlorez]

2. Yeah, and Weicker would vote to make Mitch McConnell as majority leader

No thanks, we need to retain all Dem senators

[Zambero]

5. Not necessarily

As an Independent, Weicker would likely cast his vote for Senate leadership on ideological grounds. Two other New England legislators, both Independents (Sen. Jeffords and Rep. Saunders), caucus with the Democrats. Indeed, Weicker is best known as a liberal maverick who is no favorite of Republicans. The right wing has been screaming for his scalp ever since the Senate Watergate hearings. Lieberman is a de-facto Republican who is notorious for parroting GOP talking points. As such, he can and should be replaced.

6. Do you think Weicker would run as an Independent or Republican?

[Zambero]

12. My guess is Independent

Since he left the GOP and was elected governor as an Indie.

[J-Hen]

13. He would run as an Independent

He supported Howard Dean in 2004.

3. I would take Lowell Weicker over

either of the two assclowns I have "representing" me today - Saxby and Johnny Isakson.

[sharp_stick]

4. I don't think I could ever vote for Weicker

After his "promise" to not impose a State sales tax followed by an about face pretty much the day after he was elected. I don't think I'd trust him as a crossing guard.

7. what other choices do we have

[Rowdyboy]

8. Weiker as an independant but not as a Rethug.....Never,ever, ever again

should any of us for for ANY Republican for the Senate. Control of the senate is too important.

9. kick

[warrens]

10. I worked on Weicker's campaign against Lieberman

I hated Joe then (his tagline was: Lowell Weicker: Too Liberal for Connecticut, probably the first person to use that...some democrat) and still do.

[NoPasaran]

11. If Weicker is an Independent caucusing with the Dems, then him

Otherwise, gimme some Joementum!

When it comes to taking back the Senate, even DINOs count in our column.

[Doctor_J]

14. Weicker wouldn't run as a R

he would be an I and vote with the Dem caucus. He hates neocons.

[PassingFair]

15. If it takes electing a moderate repuke to send a message to ENABLING

DEMS that we are TIRED of being hung out to dry, then I'd vote for Weicker.

Maybe it would serve as a wake-up call.

[ISUGRADIA]

16. CT Republicans won't touch Weicker with a ten foot pole

they're still pissed at him for winning as an Independent in 1990 and for bringing a state income tax into existence.

[Mr_Spock]

17. ABL

Anybody but Lieberman.

[snowbear]

18. What is Weicker's official registration on his voting card?

Is he currently an Independent -- or is he currently a Republican?
