Not that I live in Connecticut or anything, so maybe it's not my responsibility to say this, but could someone just slap Joe Lieberman, hand him a highball and sit him down in a comfy chair?
His aggressive response to losing this primary, as opposed to the half-hearted dissent to losing/winning the 2000 election, is astounding.
The fact that he is willing to jeopardize a democratic victory in November, after being rejected by democratic voters in a fair and legal primary election, shows that Joe Lieberman deserved to lose the primary. The main beef of Lamont and his supporters was that Lieberman doesn't represent them or their values anymore. Insisting that he will ignore the results of the democratic primary and run as an independent just underscores the fact that Lieberman really doesn't represent democratic voters in Connecticut, thereby strengthening Lamont's case.
I mean, don't Connecticut democrats have the right to choose a candidate who actually shares their views? Lieberman seems to think that he deserves to win simply because he's been in office for so long already.
It's time, Joe. Things have changed. Besides, the Senate elevators are packed with staffers and tourists now. Just not the same as it used to be.
