Are there that many Friking Republicans in Connecticut, that Lieberman can win, where are the grass root Democrats, what the hell are they doing.

HARTFORD, Conn. --Sen. Joe Lieberman says the likelihood that he would take a leadership role if the Democrats take control of the Senate on Nov. 7 is helping him in his race against the endorsed Democrat in Connecticut.

Lieberman said after attending Sunday services at Mount Moriah Baptist Church in Hartford. "They see that there's a chance that Democrats might control and they know that if that happens, that I would be a committee chair and also would be in the majority."

Lieberman, an 18-year Senate veteran, is running as an independent after losing to Ned Lamont in August's party primary. Lieberman holds a double-digit lead in statewide polls against his anti-war challenger.>>>cont
