Machinations in Connecticut

Well, this is interesting. It appears that the Republican candidate for Joe Lieberman’s senate seat is a degenerate gambler and card counter that has to use an assumed name to be allowed in the Foxwoods Casino. Not only that, but George Gallo, the GOP’s state chairman is selling Schlesinger down the Connecticut River.

“Our mistake is that we only vetted candidates using their real names.”

This could be a move to replace Schlesinger with some other Daddy Warbuck mogul that has more appeal in the Nutmeg state. Yet, according to Hotline, Schlesinger is unlikely to go quietly.

I’m not sure what is going on, but I’m betting the GOP is sensing they have a chance in a three-way race. However, I doubt this is what they have in mind.

Meanwhile, Ann Coulter just loves Joe Lieberman. That’s an endorsement that Joe might want to play down.
