Today's top news in the world of politics comes from right here in Connecticut, where Senator Joe Lieberman has opened up a 17-point lead over his closest opponent in the U.S. Senatorial race, according to a major poll released today.
According to inside sources who monitor polling numbers, Connecticut voters are beginning to break toward Lieberman in the final weeks of the race. This is due to several factors. One, Lieberman has a loyal following here among those who are attracted by his integrity and independent mindset. Two, Lieberman appeals to moderate Republicans who admire his courage to buck the Democrat Party elite. And three, most moderate voters are uncomfortable with both the rabid anti-war rhetoric of the Democrat candidate and the staunch conservatism of the Republican candidate.
Thus, the only choice that seems palatable to most Connecticut voters, who themselves reflect the moderation and pragmatism of Lieberman, is to send Joseph Lieberman back to the U.S. Senate for another term as an Independent.
Stay tuned. We shall see if the polls prove to be right in this part of the country.
