The girl with the sweet-sounding southern accent asked me which of the following 4 issues were most important to me. I don't remember them all, but the Iraq war wasn't among them (social security, minimum wage, blah blah blah). I told her that without resolution in Iraq, the rest of it really didn't matter. score one for "none of the above." Of course as she's talking, I'm starting to get suspicious. The second question - are you going to vote in CT's primary? "Oh yes." And will you be voting for Lieberman or Lamont? As I said to her, "I don't vote republican so I'm voting for Lamont." Now normally I wouldn't have answered the questions, but.. the poller had a southern accent, The War wasn't on the table, and she wants to know who I'm voting for. Those sound like Republican tactics - obviously this was a Lieberman poll. If he runs as a "Democratic Independent," as he swears he will if he loses to Lamont, I hope someone is there to record the swishing sound of his political career going down the toilet.
