Kos Now 0 for 17 1/2

Kos set his sights on defeating Joe Lieberman in the CT Dem primary. He backed Ned Lamont even going so far as appearing in his commercials.

Well Lieberman won the nomination, but Lamont forced a primary. We'll give Kos a half a win (because we're compassionate conservatives) although the outcome is uncertain.

Let's hear that Kos rallying cry: zero and 17 1/2!

He should be so proud.

Update: It seems that Kos is in good company. His support generally means death to a candidacy, it appears that Hugo Chavez has the same effect:

Chávez - stridently anti-American, leftist and never short on words - has cast himself as spokesman for a united Latin America free of Washington's influence. He has backed Bolivia's recent gas nationalization, set up his own Socialist trade bloc and jumped into the middle of disputes between his neighbors, even when no one has asked.

Some nations are beginning to take umbrage. Mere association with Chávez has helped reverse the leads of presidential candidates in Mexico and Peru. Officials from Mexico to Nicaragua, Peru and Brazil have expressed rising impatience at what they see as Chávez's meddling and grandstanding, often at their expense.

Hugo Chavez: The Kos of South America!

Update: Tim Blair has another transript of the ad.
