Closing Argument
posted on Nov. 5th
Joe delivered his “closing argument” for reelection to the United States Senate on Sunday in a stirring speech at his campaign headquarters in Hartford Sunday night, saying, “If you want to send a real message for positive change in Washington, send me.”
Speaking to a crowd of volunteers, family and friends, and standing alongside Hadassah, Joe asked his supporters for “one, last favor" :
Don’t listen to people who tell you this race is over….I believe this race will be closer than most people think. And if we don’t work hard every step of the way, if we don’t get our people to the polls, and if we don’t let people know where to find me on the ballot, then everything we have worked for together will be lost.
If you want more partisanship and more polarization in Washington, then you should vote for Ned Lamont. But if you want an independent-thinking problem-solver, someone who will put people ahead of politics and work across party lines to get things done for you, then I ask for your vote.”
Joe was introduced by a bipartisan team of volunteers, Jeff McLean and Kitty Parente.
Responding to the cheers and signs held aloft by his supporters, Joe pointed out two signs with his favorite slogans from past campaigns, one reading “Batman, Superman, Lieberman,” and the other simply said, “Viva Chutzpah!”

Um. I'm confused.
Hasn't Joe been in Washington for 18 years? Hasn't he been there for the past 6 years of the Bush administration? How come he didn't accomplish any of this positive change stuff in all that time?
Was Joe holding out on us?
And I don't get this one, either:
"Batman, Superman, Lieberman"
Was Joe in tights and underwear?
"Viva Chutzpah" I get. It's all he's got.
Vote out 18 years of incompetence, ineptitude, and the last 3 years of insanity - vote for change, real change and not more of the same flip-flopping, stay the course, tired and sanctimonous politicking ignominously labelled "bipartisan" Joe LIE-man.....
VOTE NED LAMONT!
“Batman, Superman, Lieberman,"
hey, you guys meant:
BUSHman
SCREWEDman
LYINGman.
...campaign headquarters in Hartford Sunday night, saying, “If you want to send a real message for positive change in Washington, send me.”
Sending Joe is tantamount to sending in the clowns - more of the same stay the course politicking that marks the last 3 years.
For real change, vote Lamont!
