So...what if we pull one from the Republican playbook...
...and start making campaign contributions to Alan Schlesinger in CT?

Clearly, the Republican establishment has abandoned him in favor of Lieberman, and the polls indicate that their voters are following suit. But maybe if Schlesinger gets enough money to run a more competitive campaign, he'll draw conservative voters away from Lieberman, leaving behind only Lieberman's hardcore devotees and ensuring a majority for Lamont. This is kind of a dirty tactic, but they're basically doing the same thing, both with Lieberman in CT and with the Greens in Pennsylvania. It's just something to consider.

4. He gets money automatically
He just won't get the fundraisers and other supplementary funds. Don't waste your money. No one is going to vote for the moron.

5. The man is clearly a loser.
No amount of money is going to change that. The real race will be between Lamont and Lieberman. If you want to support someone, support Lamont. I really hope he wins, because I like what he has to say. Unfortunatly, I cannot financialy support him, I have my hands full with local MI politics.
