 HARTFORD -- Former Gov. Lowell P. Weicker Jr. warned Monday that he might run as an independent against Democratic U.S. Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman next year to protest Lieberman's strong support for the Iraq war.

I think the headline needs to be changed...

Weicker said he WILL run (according to the Register) if no prominent Democrat challenges Lieberman.

Weicker threatens to challenge Lieberman (none / 0)

There certainly is a dispute over Weicker's intention. Running against Lieberman would make him the most popular Republican in the Democratic Party. Let's hope this encourages primary challenges for Hillary and Feinstein. It's time for the Democratic Party to pay attention to the thunder on the left, instead of pandering to quasi-Republican centrists.

There is no dispute..... (none / 0)

The article makes it clear that Weicker will run, as an independent, if a Democrat doesn't step up to oppose Lieberhawk.
