Reply #19: Fine, but if Lieberman wins, the notion that the party can be changed...

from the inside effectively dies. I'm sure that doesn't bother the Lieberman supporters and other supporters of the status quo. (How come I haven't seen Bill Clinton and Barbara Boxer stumping for Ned Lamont?) But there are quite a few Democrats that are completely fed up with the direction the party has taken. It should be obvious that Democrats are in a situation to regain control of both legislatures, not because of some grand and well articulated political platform, but simply because the Republicans are so unimaginably terrible. Eventually the Dem's will have to lead and if it's more of the same, there isn't much reason to stick around.
