Lieberman’s Party in Name Only
A Lefty netrootser with too much time on his hands–surprise! he’s a professor–took over Sen. Joe Lieberman’s ex-party the Connecticut for Lieberman Party:
Fairfield University political science professor John Orman’s takeover has been recognized by Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz.
Orman is the sole member of the party and filed paperwork with Bysiewicz’s office naming himself chairman. The state officials accepted Orman’s takeover and his bylaws which limit membership to critics of the senator and anyone named Lieberman.
“If someone wanted to challenge it, they’d have to go to court,” Ted Bromley, a state elections attorney for Bysiewicz’s office said Tuesday.
If Lieberman isn’t a member any longer I doubt anyone will put up a fight for the “heart and soul” of the Connecticut for Lieberman Party. If they did and they won they’d end up with Professor Orman’s blood pump as a souvenir along with a political party with a ballot spot in 2012. That might work out well for an Apocalypso sequel. Shh! Don’t tell Mel Gibson.
