Lieberman no help to McCain in Conn.
The Quinnipiac University Polling Institute found that Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee from Illinois, leads among likely voters and among nearly all sub-groups in the state.
"At this stage of the campaign, Sen. Barack Obama is rolling over Sen. John McCain in Connecticut," Poll Director Douglas Schwartz said. "Quinnipiac University also has conducted surveys in seven swing states in the last two weeks and Sen. Obama is ahead in every one."
Lieberman, Al Gore's vice presidential candidate in 2000, ran for the Senate as an independent in 2006 after losing the Democratic primary. He has continued to caucus with the Democrats in the U.S. Senate but agrees with McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, on Iraq and has endorsed him.
The poll also found that a majority of Democrats would like Obama to pick Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., as his running mate. But both independents and Republicans oppose the move.
Overall, Obama has a 56 percent to 35 percent lead over McCain among likely voters in the state. Only 14 percent said they would be more likely to vote for the Arizona senator with Lieberman as vice president on the GOP ticket, while 32 percent said they would be less likely.

Paul - Just who are these "liberals" you speak of, and when did they make decisions about raising our children? Please note that President-Elect Obama's children are very well behaved.
You are obviously desperate to blame the behavior of children on Obama. Why don't you wake up and smell the coffee?

"Please help and control these children.Some are out of control.WHo is this Mrs.Mccain? Look,I wouldnt trust that woman with a door knob! Women like that do not like working people like myself and think that the whole world owes them.I do not owe these young people nothing,but do us seniors a big favor-change your atittude-because you are not special and learn to do the job properly.I will defintely vote for Obama.The work force here now is unbearable."
BRIDGET, WAKE UP! IT WAS LIBERALS WHO DECIDED THAT PARENTS ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO RAISE THEIR CHILDREN SO THAT THEY WILL RESPECT THEIR ELDERS, ALSO THAT THEY ARE SO SPECIAL THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE EVERYTHING HANDED TO THEM ON A PLATTER. SO DON'T START COMPLAINING ABOUT THESE THINGS IF YOU ARE VOTING FOR OBAMA.

Liberman
Liberman is just a traitor out for himself. He should not be allowed to caucus with the democrats because he backs republicans. he probably tells the right wing everything he hears and can't be trusted. he is also a poor loser because when he got beat he just got republican money and ran as an independent-like heck--he must owe them something or why his behavior in this campaign. why does he always be standing by McCain when he is in photo ops in foreign countries?

Liberman no help to McCain in Conneticut
Is anyone really surprised that Sen. Liberman would be of no help to McCain in Connecticut. Sen. Liberman could be no more of a help to McCain than he is to his own image and getting his own points across on issues important to him in the great State of Connecticut.
