. . . will be back.
Sure: on a strictly partisan basis, what happened in Connecticut is good for the GOP. Lamont is a probably the weaker candidate.
But I liked Joe, and I take no pleasure in this. The Democratic Party is self-destructing before my eyes.
Attila the Hub thinks we may be ripe for a replay of the McGovern candidacy. What a waste that would be. Sigh.

Barring some particularly devasting news, Joe should win the general election as an independent.

They've been doing that for a while, now. Didn't you see Zell Miller at the GOP convention in 2004? Zell's party left him, not the other way around.
Joe's party not only left him, they back-stabbed on the way out.

Joe Leiberman is a great guy to have in the minority. He seems honest, cares about America, and would rather solve problems than make political points.
But if he's part of a majority, look out! He's one of the biggest 'tax and entitle' politicians out there.
He's certainly the lesser of the two evils, but the only difference is he's committed to fighting bad guys. He's no friend of fiscal conservatism.

How is the Republican candidate in Conneticut? It is entirely possible that Lieberman could split the Democrat vote and we'll end up with another Republican in the Senate.

It's possible, though CT is a liberal state.

Then: Big Joe as an Independent. It'd serve Kos right.

The swirl begins in the Democratic Party's one-note toilet bowl.
