re: OK, fair enough. But I figure Lieberman is taking a chance that conservatives and moderates in Connecticut (i.e. the ones who don't vote in Dem primaries) are going to vote for him. Would you feel the same about an anti-war Rep deserting the party after losing the primary? Or... what would he be called?

1,500 violent deaths reported in Iraq By RAWYA RAGEH, Associated Press Writer About 1,500 violent deaths were reported in the Baghdad area last month, a top health official said Wednesday, providing figures that showed a steady increase in killings since the beginning of the year. Deputy Health Minister Dr. Sabah al-Husseini also said about two-thirds of the deaths reported in Baghdad since January were due to violence. Last year, about one third of the 10,105 deaths recorded in the capital were due to violence. Those figures do not include members of the U.S.-led coalition. "We had hoped that in 2006 violent deaths would decrease," al-Husseini said. "Unfortunately, so far, they have doubled and now two-thirds of the recorded deaths are violent deaths." The Health Ministry's count appeared consistent with figures provided by Baghdad morgue officials. A total of 1,815 bodies were brought to Baghdad's morgue last month, Dr. Abdul Razzaq al-Obeidi, the morgue's assistant manager, told The Associated Press. He said about 85 percent of them had died violently. The biggest cause of violent deaths was gunshot wounds, mostly in the head, al-Obeidi said. "Some deaths were caused by strangulation, others by severe beating and some were in very bad shape you couldn't even tell what the reason was," al-Obeidi said. Al-Obeidi said the sharp increase in deaths had strained the morgue's facilities and workers there "stack the bodies on top of each other." To deal with the problem, the morgue was provided with two refrigeration trucks parked outside its building. "What can I say? Whatever numbers we receive, we have to deal with — where else would we send them?" al-Obeidi said. _____ The breakdown of violent deaths since January as provided by the Health Ministry: January: 1,068 February: 1,110 March: 1,294 April: 1,155 May: 1,265 June: 1,500 July: 1,500

Lieberman is taking a chance Lieberman is a dedicated neocon. He has the same strange idea that jews via Israel are advanced by unprovoked attacks on Israel's neighbors. I know, when you look at it it crazy. It's the same kind of logic that got Israel conquered time and again. Yet there is some appeal for some kinds. The rest of the world is tired of them taking us along for the ride. TP

Ted, No, but if they voted me out of the primary I would not run as an independent. OK, fair enough. But I figure Lieberman is taking a chance that conservatives and independents in Connecticut (i.e. the ones who don't vote in Dem primaries) are going to vote for him. We know what Lieberman is doing......he's playing the weasel while still claiming to be a Democrat. Yesterday's election was the highest turnout for a Dem. primary. The Dems of CT have spoken as pointedly as they could. Lieberman needs to pay attention before its too late.
