On the road...
U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman and his Democratic primary challenger Ned Lamont will once again dominated the news cycle for the day.
Lieberman is embarking on what his campaign is calling "Joe's Tomorrow Tour," a 10-day tour of Connecticut beginning today and running up to the primary a week from Tuesday - barring any major votes in the Senate. The first leg of the tour is in the western part of the state, suggesting the eastern Connecticut stops will likely be coming up next week. I'll keep you informed.
Meanwhile, Lamont will be in Harrtford this afternoon, accepting the endorsement of Michael Schiavo, widow husband of Terry Schiavo. The Senate's support - and in particular Lieberman's support - of actions in relationship to the Schiavo case have long been part of Lamont's stump speech in making the case that it's time for a change.

Well as if Lamont could not be more extreame, now he is shipping in Husband of the Year, Michael Schiavo!
Hubby Michael who wanted to spend the lawsuit money that he won for his wife Terry's care for the rest of her life, instead on himself and his new girlfriend.
What a guy. Nothing like putting your invalid wife away, expecting her to die, then going to court to order her feeding tude removed all to get at the money that was suppose to be used for her care.
What a great campaing issue.
I wouldn't necessary dismiss it that easily, but will agree that there will some who will see it the same as you.
But there are others out there who agree with Lamont and Schiavo - and the Lamont campaign is trying to broaden its appeal and shake the one-issue only label that it has.
I will give him credit for taking a stand on a very controversial issue rather than avoiding it or trying to be coy about it. How effective it will be, we'll find out when poeple go to the polls.
What bothers me is the absolutely lawless manner in which that poor woman was murdered by one liberal Florida judge with a God complex.
Why would a potential United States Senator want his prospective powers and duties as an elected official usurped by judges? Lamonts behavior smacks of opportunism; hardly the hallmark of a leader.
I think mercy killing is sometimes preferable to pain and suffering but this was not a good case for that. And there is no state or federal legislation -- that is written by elected officials, not self appointed Super-Legislators on the bench so I don't see where the state got the authority to do what it did.
To do what the courts ordered on the most flimsy hearsay "evidence" totally absent a living will is the definition of lawlessness.
