		Weicker and Buchanan first collided during the 1973 Watergate hearings, when Weicker denounced Richard Nixon's abuses while Buchanan wrote Nixon's speeches; then later during the Reagan years, when Weicker battled his own party over abortion, civil rights and school prayer.
		I have been pondering the dynamics of a possible Weicker candidacy ever since Ventura wrested control of the Reform Party from founder Ross Perot this summer, and floated word that he wouldn't mind seeing Weicker, one of his mentors and advisors, as the party's presidential candidate.
		Weicker himself declines to be quoted, just yet, on Buchanan, and has given himself through mid-autumn to make up his own mind about running.

		Weicker was born in Paris to U.S. citizens.
		As I read it, I wondered if this Lowell Weicker was the same Lowell Weicker who announced for the Republican presidential nomination in 1979 and then quit in a huff a few months later when it became apparent that most of the nation wasn't automatically convinced of his presidential stature.
		I wondered if this was the same Lowell Weicker who was rejected by his own state in the 1988 senatorial election and won the governor's mansion only as the result of a severely divided electorate.

	Salon Feature \| Run, Lowell, Run
		Weicker, effectively evicted by conservatives from Republican ranks, ran against massively funded, poll-driven Democratic and Republican rivals with a campaign based on relentless head-knocking on the most difficult issues facing a then-bankrupt state -- taxation, racial segregation, health care.
		Weicker was willing to trust broader public engagement over back-room machination to dilute the strength of his enemies.
		And as it turned out, giving legions of unaffiliated voters their first primary voice was only the prelude to Weicker's later and more famous experiment in shaking up politics as usual in that 1990 gubernatorial race, after he had left the GOP (or, as he likes to say, after the GOP left him).

		After Nixon's resignation, Weicker had a relatively low profile until Ronald Reagan's election in 1980 forced him to repeatedly vote against the Republican president to protect social programs that Weicker felt were important in such areas as health and education.
		It was during the Reagan years that Weicker began to be increasingly seen as a political maverick, a label that contributed to his defeat for re-election in 1988.
		Weicker concludes by calling the two-party political system outdated, and strongly hints that he would not be opposed to running for president as an independent in 1996.

		Lowell Weicker: We certainly wouldn't be where we are today in terms of the possibility of impeachment.

	Run, Lowell, Run
		Former U.S. Senator Lowell Weicker, the Republican incumbent Lieberman narrowly beat in 1988, is talking seriously about taking the senator on next year.
		When Weicker served in the Senate during the 1970s and 1980s, there were a good many moderate Republicans, and even some liberal members of the Grand Old Party.
		Done right, a Weicker campaign could telescope the debate about Iraq and expose Lieberman for what his is: a politician whose moralizing has always been a mask for his overaching ambition.

	Weicker's world - Governor Lowell Weicker's tax policies in Connecticut National Review - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		In August of 1991 Governor Lowell P. Weicker Jr., in order to pass a first-ever income tax in the state, struck a deal with the General Assembly not unlike Bush's deal with the U.S. Congress a year earlier.
		As he signed the 1993-94 budget into law, Weicker proclaimed that this budget "follows the wishes of the voters as expressed in November." But the voters ratified a spending cap equal to the higher of the increase in inflation (now about 3 per cent) and the increase in personal income (an anemic 2 per cent).
		Weicker and his Democratic allies have nonetheless defined the terms of the statutory cap to allow for a 5.6 per cent growth in the budget.

	Watergate
		Weicker was blasted by his fellow senators for speaking out of turn, but Weicker had achieved his goal in upping the ante of the investigation.
		Weicker became a bulldog on the committee after Dean revealed to him the extent of the president’s involvement in the Watergate cover-up.
		Blatantly untrue rumors were planted by Colson and others that Weicker was switching to the Democratic Party; that the senator’s daughter had been arrested on drug charges (Weicker did not have a daughter); that the senator was having multiple affairs and that his 1970 senatorial campaign was rife with illegal and unethical financial practices.

	My Left Nutmeg :: Rasmussen: Joe Beats Weicker
		Folks associated with the Draft Lowell Weicker movement have suggested they might even be able to get him to be the parties endorsed candidate.
		Weicker is a proud independent and I couldn't see him becoming a Democrat any time soon (and it would be foolish to do).
		The fear with Weicker running as an independent has to be that he and Lieberman split the Democratic vote and the Republican wins the election with 35% of the vote.

		Weicker said Lamont remains the underdog in the race, despite a recent Quinnipiac University poll that shows growing support for the businessman, who will face Lieberman in an August primary.
		In his initial remarks to the crowd, Weicker never mentioned Lieberman but said that the person who occupies the Senate seat is a reflection of the state.

	Swing State Project: CT-Sen: A Challenge from the Independent Weicker? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		The statewide rumor mill is buzzing with reports that Lowell Weicker is considering an independent run for his old U.S. Senate seat next year against Democratic incumbent Joe Lieberman of New Haven (for now).
		Weicker, a former liberal Republican who turned independent in 1990 when he left the Senate to run successfully for governor, dropped notice at the Sept. 20 forum that he'd consider another political run.
		At a minimum, Weicker might give Lieberman enough of a scare such that Joementum at least stops having the time to bash his fellow Democrats on Fox News.

	The Books: Maverick by Lowell Weicker and Barry Sussman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Lowell Weicker has been a prominent figure on the American political scene since the early 1970s, when he first gained notoriety by fearlessly interrogating members of his own Republican party during the Watergate hearings.
		Over the years, Lowell Weicker has always loved a good fight, and in this engrossing memoir, he looks back on a lifetime of political battles -- over Watergate, protection of the oceans and marine research, the rights of the handicapped, right-wing assaults on the Constitution, and more.
		And when he introduced a new income tax in his state to control an escalating debt, he was unfazed when his opponents burned him in effigy, because he knew what he was doing was right.

	MyDD :: CT-Sen: Weicker Will Not Challenge Lieberman... Right?
		Liberal Republican turned independent Lowell Weicker will not be stepping up to challenge Sen. Joe Lieberman in next year's midterms, even though he thinks someone should take him on.
		There had been some speculation that Weicker would return to electoral politics to oust Lieberman, and more than a few progressive Democrats expressed their hope that he would.
		The general concensus at the time was that Weicker was so pissed at being kicked out of the Senate, he created his political party and orchestrated his independent win in the governor's race for the sole purpose of instituting a state income tax, and saying a big fuck you to the people of Connecticut.

	Bradley welcomes Weicker endorsement - January 28, 2000
		The Bradley camp is hoping Weicker's record as an independent governor of a nearby state will appeal to legions of New Hampshire's independently minded voters, many of whom have yet to decide who will they support heading into Tuesday's first-in-the-nation Granite State primary.
		According to the Associated Press, Weicker, who was at one time considered a strong possibility for the Reform Party presidential ticket, had hoped to endorse Bradley weeks ago, but was asked by his aides to hold off until closer to the New Hampshire primary.
		Speaking to CNN at his Concord, New Hampshire, hotel late Thursday night, Bradley said Weicker's record in the Senate, (when he was a Republican representing Connecticut), illustrated he has always been independently minded, and he was often willing to buck partisan trends.
