To paraphrase El Guapo, "What is happening around here today? Are pro-Joe Republicans falling from the sky?"

Joe Lieberman continues to face a fight for re-election because he has stood for principle, pure and simple. While others have retreated, Joe realizes that defeat in Iraq would be disastrous to America and to the Iraqi people.

Joe Lieberman continues to face a fight for re-election because he has strongly supported policies that have been disastrous to America and to the Iraqi people.

...a clear and unmistakable majority of the delegates of the Connecticut Democratic Party delegates stood with Joe because they appreciate his integrity and recognize his progressive record.

An unclear and unenthusiastic majority of the delegates of the Connecticut Democratic Party stood with Joe because they were afraid of payback from Boss Lieberman and his machine. Many stayed home rather than come to Hartford and feel forced to vote for him. In a secret ballot, Ned Lamont would likely have won.

Unlike his opponent, Joe didn't just recently get involved in the fight for civil rights and the environment.

Unlike his opponent, Ned didn't just recently vote for Bush's disasterous energy bill, or to allow a Justice Alito, or try to find a "compromise "with Bush on Social Security.

And, when will the press focus on the fact that Mr. Lamont chose a co-star for his first commercial who once denigrated the deaths of Americans at the hands of terrorists?

Ah, so the sliming of Kos begins. We'll hear it from Joe's mouth next.
