Joe Lieberman is giving a press conference at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford right now. The topic - global warming. He has a professor from Duke named William Schlesinger in tow. Schlesinger used to be head of something called the Ecological Institute. Lieberman said he was going to introduce a bill called the Set America Free act, which would mandate half the cars manufactured in America would have to be hybrids or run on biofuels. He also praised California for pursuing the Kyoto Protocol goals at the local level. Seems like he's bending over backward to appease his liberal base. All this tells me that he is genuinely running scared of his primary opponent. He's even taken out radio ads, and it's awful early for that. Here's a little tidbit about Lieberman, I got it straight from the horse's mouth. Message 22331270

I've written two letters and gotten one response, a very brief form letter acknowledging receipt of my letter. That was from my Rep. The other letter was to a Rep, but he wasn't my Rep. He didn't bother to answer. I got a letter once from the office of Ted Kennedy, who I had never written to. It was thanking me for my letter regarding his stance on the Contras. All I could think of was I had signed a petition a couple of months prior to that, and those people must have taken those signatures and attached each name to a letter. That's downright sneaky!
