has forced a primary in Connecticut. Joe Lieberman is about to experience payback for being Bush's favorite Democrat.
Does anyone think this will wake Lieberman up?
Not anyone here.
It's not just anti-war stuff. Read this post by Digby.
There was a time when a vital center coalition existed in the Senate, where there was room on both sides for trading votes across party lines. The Republicans destroyed that coalition and Liebermann, inexplicably, doesn't seem to get that. Even worse, when the shit comes down, he inevitably sides with them. Many Democrats took a long time to learn the harsh lessons of GOP political hardball and had to lose to a bunch of thuggish right-wingers before they began to recognise what they were up against. Lieberman still refuses to accept the fact that his high minded centrism is a weapon in the hands of the radical Republicans.
