Rheo Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 The Hill:Liberals want Keith Olbermann to run for retiring Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman's (I-Conn.) seat.The ploy to coax the former MSNBC host into the Democratic Senate primary was hatched by activists attending a conference in Pennsylvania over the weekend. Facebook and Twitter pages are already active and a website is expected to go up in the coming days."We’re using our full set of campaign tools but they won’t go active until we get a little downtime while we’re in D.C.," a blogger by the name of Stranded Wind wrote on the liberal website Daily Kos. Should Olbermann decide to forgo a return to television, he could be eligible to run for Lieberman's seat, Stranded Wind notes. "He used to live in Connecticut and could easily return and establish residency."Olbermann was suspended from his job for two days after the 2010 election for making donations to Arizona Democrats Reps. Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords, and to Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway (D). ----Too funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casino67 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Apparently there is a move to start calling Keith's backers "Friends of Keith". Andy Levy began calling them FOKheads. LOL ((All from Twitter posts)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
