For those of you that say that Lieberman is just trying to level the playing field, the numbers expose that lie. Also, you have to consider the source of Lieberman's caqmpaign funding. Nevermind the fact that Lieberman is using his money illegally in this campaign.
If you really want to vote for a continued conservative agenda I suggest you look at the more honest conservative candidate Alan Schlesinger. But if you truely want to change the course and fix what is wrong in Washington there is only one real choice:
Vote For Ned Lamont
As a side note: ctblogger over at ConnecticutBlog has a great summary of the $387,000 Petty Cash Scandal that the Lieberman campaign is trying to run and hide from...
