With the traditional beginning of election season hitting this Labor Day weekend, we'll be rolling out a new edition of Capital Caucus this week.  Our talented and talentless prognosticators (you be the judge as to whom that applies) will chat about themes, hot races, and other nonsense later in the week.

In the meantime, let's watch Senator Allen look silly.  Again.

Lieberman goes down, the Internets are tubes, and... something else... I forget

We at Capital Caucus don't know whether Sen. Lieberman's campaign site went down due to hackers or failure to pay the bills, or low-end webhosting. 

But we do know one thing.

He should have listened to DJ Teddy Stevens.  You can't just dump a truck on the Internet.  It's a series of tubes.

There are no words...

But enough of the gift that keeps on giving.  The ragtag gang of the usual suspects is eagerly awaiting the results of tomorrow's CT primary.  No, the substance of the outcome is not nearly as intriguing as the "who shall eat crow" issue.  Was Dan correct in predicting a Lamont victory?  Did Tim and Adam foolishly go against the clear tide of public opinion?  ABCs The Note is giving Tim and Adam a glimmer of hope in that department...

Check out the returns tomorrow night and then point your podcatchers to Capital Caucus on Wednesday night for the aftermath...

Summer's a bit slower in DC, and it seems it's made our podcasting schedule a little less regular.  The good news is that we have some interesting things to talk about this next week.  Lamont is making a race of things in CT, and Katherine Harris seems to be losing the support of her own party... but apparently not Republican primary voters, as the only poll she's way ahead in is the FL GOP Senate primary.  All the election news that's fit to jabber about, plus our take on Sen. Kennedy's piece on judges... all in the next Capital Caucus.

Update - seems our schedules are preventing a show this week after all. Apologies to the ever-increasing audience out there, but I have it on somewhat decent authority that we'll be able to put a show together next week. In the interim... check out the crack shot of one Rep. Harris!
