So said Alan Schlesinger (the other guy in the Connecticut Senate race) in yesterday's debate with Lamont and Lieberman. TPM Cafe has a highlight video of Schlesinger's greatest hits from the debate, in which he rails against Lamont and Lieberman for being liberal Democrats who would stand in the way of Social Security reform. It reinforces the old adage about politics making strange bedfellows that TPM speaks approvingly of his performance and that Kos giddily declares Schlesinger the winner of the debate. Of course, liberals realize that the only hope of Lamont winning is a late surge in support for Schlesinger. I'm not saying this doesn't cut both ways given that the RNC hasn't backed Schlesinger. It's just a testament to how bizarre the Connecticut race is.
