2006, and included 1,229 Democratic respondents nationwide. It carries a margin
of error of +/- 2.9 percentage points.
Sen. Joseph
Lieberman was defeated in Connecticut's Democratic primary, losing to political
newcomer Ned Lamont who appears to be from the Steve Forbes school of non-blinkiness.
But the real story was not the unblinking, yet gleeful winner but sore Loserman
if you will who seemed blissfully unaware of the reality of the situation."

"A lot of people think Joe Lieberman
lost because of the kiss that President Bush gave him at the State of the Union
address. So let that be a little lesson for all the Democratic Senators out

But, Bush tell us, "It's all good!"!!! And the world is a safer place without Saddam, too!
At the very least, Bush has inspired a plethora of political humor websites!
