On Thursday, Nov. 2, Fox 61, WTIC-TV will provide the three major U.S. Senate candidates with their last chance to debate face-to-face before the Nov. 7 election.

1. I bet Lieby will flip-flop & show up at the last minute

He seems to like surprising Lamont & the media, and Lieby likes to be on both sides of every issue.

2. As well he should be excluded

Third party and independent candidates have always been shut out of debates. Why should Lieberman be any different?

3. How dare they exclude the "Connecticut for Lieberman" candidate, Holy Joe, himself!

A victory for Joe Liberman is a victory for George W. Bush! What a totally selfish man!
