I think I can safely - my co-bloggers are welcome to disagree - that this site now officially endorses Bill Nelson for Florida's up for election Senate seat.

Katherine Harris Faking GOP Endorsements

In the U.S. Senate primary, Rep. Katherine Harris has been touting key political endorsements from fellow Republican lawmakers. The problem is, some of them never endorsed her.

Several members of the U.S. House called the Harris campaign to complain Wednesday after the St. Petersburg Times notified them of the endorsements listed on Harris' Web site. Minutes later, their names were removed.

Everytime I read a story about her I feel less and less certain about the forthright nature of a certain recount 6 years ago.

Lieberman set on independent bid

Sean Smith, Lieberman's campaign manager, said Lieberman was prepared to go forward with an independent run no matter what the primary outcome.

"This is bigger than the party now," Smith said.more

This blog is always happy to see and hear independently minded politicians. We as individuals or as a group don't always agree with them but we respect them. However, Senator Lieberman's current stance smacks of a child who is taking his ball and going home.

Mr. Senator, you lost. You stated your position about the war in Iraq and other issues and the people of your state didn't like it. In the last days of your primary contest when faced with defeat you suddenly tried to distance yourself from an unpopular President whom you had been sidling up to for the last 2+ years. And now that you have indeed lost, you expect the people of Connecticut to believe that you would have run as an independent even if you had won the primary. That is simply ludicrous. There is no way a life long politician such as yourself would bypass millions of dollars from the DNC and the Connecticut Democrats in an election year.

This isn't bigger than the party now, Senator Lieberman. You just think you are.
