'Connecticut for Lieberman' party captured by activists

The 'Connecticut for Lieberman' party has been taken over by outside activsts, reports The New Haven Independent.

Lest one think that this is just as meaningless as would be loose talk of the integrity of Senator LieberSchmuck, note that CfL has a guaranteed ballot line in the 2012 elections, because the party prevailed over Democrat Ned Lamont in November.

The occasion was the second organizational meeting of the Connecticut for Lieberman Party, the vehicle created to propel Connecticut's junior senator to a general election win in 2006 after he lost the Democratic primary to anti-war challenger Ned Lamont. Lieberman created the "party" to have a line on the November ballot. Then he forgot about it.

John Orman, a political science professor at Fairfield University and a longtime outspoken Lieberman critic, contacted the Secretary of the State's office to legally join and then take over the abandoned party, which has a guaranteed ballot line in the next Senate election. Orman came to a Milford Howard Johnson hotel Thursday night with a tall agenda to make the party a soapbox for political theater and Lieberman criticism.

Snip. There's more.
