Lieberman forgot to join his own party?
Nov. 21st, 2006 02:13 amA check with the CT secretary of state indicated that the Connecticut for Lieberman party had no actual members, so Dr. John Ormond has switched parties to be the only member. He also called a meeting, elected himself chairman, and issued a press release containing the following (and more):
New Connecticut for Lieberman Rules:
a. If you run under Connecticut for Lieberman, you must actually join our party.
b. The party will nominate people for office who have the last name of Lieberman and/or who are critics and opponents of Senator Lieberman.
c. If any CFL candidate loses our party's nomination in a primary, that candidate must bolt our party, form a new party and work to defeat our party endorsed candidate.
d. We in the CFL intend to run the same candidate for three different jobs at the same time, ie. House, Senate and Governor.
The meeting closed by observing that Senator Lieberman was threatening to caucus with the Republicans. One member said, "How can he turn his back on the CFL? We got him to where he is today."

I do so hope this can be more than just a publicity stunt. I'd contribute to a legal fund to help Dr Ormond take control of CFL. What newspapers could resist Lieberman potentially losing control of a party he named after himself?
