Hartford Courant: Weicker considering run, Dec 6th (none / 0)

Former Senator Lowell Weicker (R)
Weicker told reporters Monday after a speaking engagement before the Hartford Rotary Club that he reluctantly would consider taking on that role, but only if no other credible anti-war candidate stepped forward.

If he ran, Weicker said, his campaign against Lieberman would revolve around a single issue: Lieberman's support for invading Iraq and remaining there, a decision that has cost the U.S. 2,100 war dead and damaged the nation's credibility around the world.

Weicker said he is called frequently, usually by Democrats, to consider a run against Lieberman. He also said he has heard from one or two prominent Democrats, whom he would not identify, who are interested in opposing Lieberman.

Sounds like good news to me...
