More than likely, most or all of my readers get emails from Moveon, but I can’t resist passing on the message of the latest email. A while back I posted about fellow Bowdoin alum Tom Allen, who is going to run against Lieberfriend Susan Collins up in Maine.
Lieberman is going to Maine to raise money for Collins, proving yet again, if it needed proving, that he has abandoned any pretense of being a Democrat. Hard to believe that just one year ago he was questioning Ned Lamont’s Democratic bona fides because Ned agreed with some Republicans about where Greenwich should put stop lights.
Lieberman has made himself a pariah among Democrats. There’s one sure way to make him a pariah among Republicans-by making sure that every dollar he raises for one of them is matched by a dollar and more given to his opponent by way of an anti-Lieberman gesture. That’s precisely what Moveon is trying to do. Lieberman won’t be going back to Maine, or anywhere else to help his Republican friends, if they know that his appearance will net their opponents more than them. He’s expected to help raise $200,000 for Collins. That’s big bucks in Maine, but Moveon’s campaign should be able to match it and more if we all give just a little.
We (my wife and I) have put our money where my mouth is. I donated to Allen right after I got back from the reunion, and my wife just added another donation through Moveon’s site. You can rub Lieberman’s nose in it by donating at this link.
