So … now that Keith has been thrown out by the Comcast merger … he’ll take a few weeks off, clean the garage, maybe go fishing … but a man his age is nowhere near ready for retirement.
He is, however, just old enough, smart enough, polished enough, and has all of the other attributes that would make him a darned good Senator for the state of Connecticut.
So we decided we’d draft him to replace Joe Lieberman …

We’re here at the Pennsylvania Progressive Summit, with @Spedwybabs and I coming in from Illinois, and @drdigipol coming from D.C. The three of us were sitting around the table at lunch Saturday talking about Comcast firing Olbermann, and I don’t even know who said “Maybe we should draft him for a Senate race”, but ninety minutes later the Draft Keith Olbermann page was up, the @DraftOlbermann Twitter account was rolling, and the Draft Keith Olbermann DailyKos account was registered.
Tomorrow the Olbermann 2010 web site will go live, pointing at the Facebook page. 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. I’ve invited the wardogs to come out and play and a couple of them have already expressed interest. The effort has, after eight hours, 227 Facebook fans and 120 Twitter followers. I’ve got messages back from folks with Facebook groups that have five digit subscriber counts indicating that they’ll help. This effort will get its legs under it very shortly.
From the Dailykos. They already have a job for Keith. However, do you trust them since they are starting the "Olbermann 2010" web site?
