The Baldwin-Lieberman race

MANIFESTO

I kind of had to think that the story regarding Alec Baldwin and his apparent desire to run against Senator Sanctimony for the latter's Senate seat in 2012 had reached its apex when the hideous NewsMax picked up on it.

Sure enough, this afternoon Baldwin

in a blog for the Huffington Post ... seemed to remove any speculation about a possible campaign in the Nutmeg State, though he left the door noticeably open about a future in politics.

"Lastly, no I am not moving to Connecticut to run against Joe Lieberman," Baldwin wrote. "As much as I think Lieberman is an enormous letdown to the party that gave him their nomination for vice president, I am sure that Democratic Party leaders in that state will take care of themselves."

Oh well. There's still plenty of time between now and crunch time.
