Who Is "Team Connecticut"?

Kirby (posting at CTBob) notes that the airwaves in CT have been hit with a deluge of Lieberman ads this morning, payed for by the overwhelmingly pro-Republican US Chamber of Commerce, who are also running ads in CT for Rep. Johnson (R) and Rep. Simmons (R):

This morning on the Sunday talk shows I've seen the Lieberman is great ad from the US Chamber of commerce 5 times. Yes, the same US Chamber of Commerce that is running ads for Nancy Johnson and Rob Simmons. Read more here and here


This in advance of the Swift Boat Veterans for Lieberman Freedom ads that are due to start running this week.

"Team Connecticut" seems to consist almost entirely of D.C-based corporate pro-Republican PACs, a Republican governor, Republican congressmen, D.C. Republican lobbyists, Republican PR firms related to the Swift Boaters, D.C.-based Republican fundraisers and donors, Republican neoconservative ideologues, the Republican national leadership... and Joe Lieberman.
Comments:
is it bad that it makes me chuckle that Joe's ads are on as Ernesto has knocked out power from so many in CT (at least in CT-04 where my parents are.) here's to wasted ad buys (while, of course, wishing for everyone's safety.)
