Lieberman’s Internet Outreach: So Web 1.0 It’s Frightening

From spazeboy.net

The websites of primary challenger Ned Lamont and Conn. Sen. Joe Lieberman tell you everything you have to know about the two campaigns. Lamont’s is fast-reacting, flush with up-to-the minute blog posts, links to external bloggers, video highlights of the Thursday night debate, media response to the exchange, etc. Lieberman doesn’t even have a blog.

Want to see everything you need to know about how hopelessly out of touch Sen. Joe Lieberman is with the next generation of voters? Check out his campaign website, then check out the site of challenger Ned Lamont:

Immediately after the candidates’ Thursday night debate, Lamont’s site was jam-packed with video highlights, media reactions, blogger coverage and fact-checked responses to Lieberman’s charges. Lieberman’s site, however, barely even mentions the debates; there’s nary a blog; and his “news” page ~~hasn’t been updated since Monday.~~ (Update: 12 hours after the debate, the campaign posted a few paragraphs—but that’s it.) It’s such a tone-deaf approach you have to wonder who’s minding the shop over there.

Not to belabor the point, but ~~Lieberman’s~~ (thanks, nit picker) Lamont’s team has so fully embraced its netizens that they’re not even shy about prominently linking to a blog called My Left Nutmeg.

Lieberman is busy being a national and state leader in the Senate. What’s Lamont busy doing, besides campaigning and blogmeistering?

I always like to play to win. I understand that Lieberman is going to win back his seat. He will win as a democrat, or he will win as an independent getting many voters from both parties.

Lieberman is too far left of center for me on numerous issues. But I find it interesting that the radical left (Progressives) feel they win anything by driving him out of the party really over only one or two issues they don’t agree with him on. Isn’t the goal to take back the Senate instead of giving seats to independents that will be pissed off at the democratic party and pushed into arms of the Republicans?

Lieberman wins, Republicans win, but the democratic party loses…again! And this situation is entirely created by who…Rove? I don’t think so, progressives are doing this to their own party.

There was a reason that Lieberman couldn’t update his blog. He was busy and we have the scoop over on The Garlic

I think Senator Lieberman will support George bush’s supporter well whoever the heck he/she may be.

Joe must read this site… his site has been updated quite a bit - and now has videos and almost everything else. LOL (still no blog, but be real, do you think he really wants to read what we have to say about him?) His June 16th news bullet also says he challenged Lamont to the debate. Funny that…

I think you meant to say that LAMONT links to My Left Nutmeg. - John
