With endorsements from Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Pat Robertson, Michelle Malkin, Newt Gingrich, Bill O'Reilly, and Tom Delay and statements like "being a senator I haven't gotten much beyond the middle class" (while being a multimillionaire with two homes), it's easy to see why Joe Lieberman is the Republican nominee for Senate in Connecticut.

A plethora of reasons to vote for Joe.

So it all started with this article on 9/11. Then, four days later, another Political Wire story showing the NJ-GOP trying to avoid a Torricelli Redux. Now most recently, the NY Observer gets involved with a more in-depth article detailing the particulars.

Now when the NJ-Dems pulled this in 2002 with Torricelli, I must honestly say I was amused and supportive. I mean the GOP as a whole gets away with far more dirtier tricks than this (mostly ones that never make it public), so I didnt feel that much remorse. Not to mention it was quite amusing fodder for conversations with my NJ-GOP friends. However, Menendez is not Torricelli and may not bow to pressure as easily. Nor may it be as easy to ring the bell twice, but with Kean polling ahead in what is shaping up to be a potential Democratic landslide, we should not have to be fighting tooth and nail for a state that hasnt "elected a Republican to the Senate since M*A*S*H was a first-season show" (from the Observer article).
