How to Ensure a Lamont Victory... Really!
(Crossposted at DemProgress)
I'm sure I'm not the only person to get this admittedly evil idea, but I haven't seen anyone blog about it yet.
So Lieberman has a four-point advantage over Lamont and Schlesinger is at... what? 4%? So... all we have to do to ensure Lamont's victory is bump Schlesinger's numbers up the tiniest, tiniest bit, stealing Republican votes from Lieberman?
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Too Machiavellian for you? Then get off the stage. As Ford Prefect said, "They care, we don't. They win."
Who can do this? Who can organize a get out the vote campaign for Schlesinger? It could work, you know. I'll feel guilty about it later.

Nevermind GOTV, that guy just needs higher name ID for the plates to shift. He polled at 5% name ID amongst Republicans in the last Q-Poll.

He needs more than higher name ID, he needs a new name--oh, wait, he's already done that and that's part of the problem.
He needs a new life or a new line of work. Gambling yourself into debt under a fake name isn't going to float with anyone. No one is gonna cough up a nickel for this guy for a political campaign. A GOTV drive costs big bucks and this guy can't afford to even spit. He's done.

I like the idea - except, is it possible to outflank Lieberman on the right...
