A Daily Kos member, and Rasmussen poll subscriber, is reporting that Lieberman is doing very poorly in a poll to be released publicly early next week.
here are the numbers primary NED 51% JOE 41% general NED 40% JOE 40% GOP CAND 13% that`s all he said. specific data to come later.
I hope those numbers are true and accurate. If they are, things look very good for Lamont. Meanwhile, the Big Dog will be doing a big rally for Joseph L. on Monday in Waterbury. You can enter into a lottery if you want to attend. The Clintons continue their slide from liberal heroes into our sworn enemies. Look at this:

Feingold is slipping a little. That’s probably because he hasn’t been in the news very much in the last two months. Edwards seems to have picked up the slack. That’s fine by me. Edwards and Feingold should be leading the pack. It also looks like Armstrong has succeeded in making Warner the acceptable centrist candidate. The others can’t top 2%. Collectively, the other centrists have less votes than Warner. And all of them together cannot crack 20%.
So, the intellectual opinion leading Saab driving latte drinking tree hugging dirt munching wing of the Democratic Party is already completely hostile to centrism, accomodation, and the Clintons. Bill’s big rally for Joe Lieberman is not going to do Joe many favors. It may impress a few people and give Joe a tiny bump. The real damage though, is to Hillary’s prospects. I don’t envy Peter Daou. He has a thankless job.
I just hope that the dlc takes notice here on this one. I hope that dean makes head ways big time for the dnc on all the states. It really does start at home…and locally.
If Hill and Bill want to do other things they need to keep their noses out of everyone else’s business, so to speak. But that is just me. They had their chance. It is done and over with for the WH for the Clinton’s. We do not need a dynasty ruling us ever again!
Why isn’t Al Gore on the list?
he’s not on the list because he has repeatedly said he is not running and he hasn’t set up a PAC, or hired anyone, or done anything to indicate that will be running.
Markos only includes candidates who have declared (Dodd, Biden) or those who have acted in every indication of running, such as setting up a PAC (every other candidate). Gore hasn’t set up a PAC, repeats that he’s not running, and even if most of us would want him to run, at this point, he’s not.
I knew there was a reason I was signing up for the ‘Draft Gore’ movement…
I’m glad that Feingold is the favorite among Kos readers, and hope you’re right that his slip is merely attributable to his recent absence from the media.
I’m also glad to see that Hillary — who has had no lack of visibility — has fallen to near the bottom of the heap. That’s where she’s always belonged, in my opinion (which, admittedly, is rather far to the left of the Kossaks).
Still, I have to wonder — how representative is the Kos readership of the Democratic primary electorate? I don’t mean this as snark, but as a serious question. I might consider Kos and his minions to be only slightly left-of-center. But I have a hard time believing — however much I might wish it were so — that Feingold is currently the favorite among likely Democratic primary voters in general. If you know of some polls, I’d love to be proved wrong.
Kossacks are far from centrist. They are basically the Howard Dean left, which with apologies to the exceptions, is white, highly educated, and fairly well off.
Dean’s base was never among minorities or the hardhats.
It’s only a part of the left, and not big enough to win any primaries. Feingold is probably polling right ahead of ‘who-the-fuck-is-he?’ among disengaged people, among labor, and in the black community.
The significance of the poll is that the Howard Dean left is very intrumental in financing, in organization, and especially, on influencing the media. Feingold is for real. So is Hillary.
has said she’ll support whoever wins the primary in the general…but I too am glad that her support seems to be dwindling.
As for Gore, I hope he’ll accept President Feingold’s appointment of him as director of EPA… 🙂
The Kossack who posted that poll seems to have been borne out Booman. Political Wire is now reporting the poll with identical #’s to what Joel1954 said.
Feingold is slipping a little
Must be due to the virulent anti-Semitism of the left blogosphere.
and it was supposed to be a fantasy poll. So in essence the poll could have had George W Bush on it. I’m not trolling just pointing out.
