Lieberman was a snake and Bill knew it. Sure enough, Lieberman switched parties and got in despite the Democrats choosing Ned Lamont. If it weren't for Bill, Ned Lamont would be in there for his second term. I like Chris Murphy, the guy who's got the office now but we had to endure 6 years of Lieberman to get to him. And it just wasn't right what happened to Ned.

Obama Endorses De Blasio In NYC Mayoral Race [View all] ProSense Sep 2013 OP

That was easy. rug Sep 2013 #1

So this wouldn't count in your 21% approval of Obama, right? DevonRex Sep 2013 #3

How many points should he get for a no-brainer? rug Sep 2013 #7

A person who does the right thing all the time would get a 0% approval from you. DevonRex Sep 2013 #9

And one who doesn't gets 100% from you. rug Sep 2013 #10

No, I give the person who DOES the right thing approval points. DevonRex Sep 2013 #11

No, I don't. It would have been more meaningful had he endorsed before the primary. rug Sep 2013 #12

But why would he butt in at that level? NY Democrats DevonRex Sep 2013 #13

Hence, he simply endorsed whoever won. Easy peasy. rug Sep 2013 #14

And he helps him defeat the Republican. And NYC Dems chose their own candidate. DevonRex Sep 2013 #15

When DiBlasio wins it will have litte to do with the POTUS. rug Sep 2013 #18

Excuse #1,000,000 not to give President Obama a nod for one goddamned thing. DevonRex Sep 2013 #19

Sorry to rain on your parade but that was no more than a pro forma statement. rug Sep 2013 #20

He endorsed him for NYC Public Advocate in 2009, too. DevonRex Sep 2013 #2
