Reply #39: The Dems rejected Lieberman, not vice versa.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

I'm hoping Lamont wins, but I care less about it than I do about any of the other races where the person who may beat a Democract won't vote for a Democratic majority.

I think the attitude "No excuse for this man who attacks his own party." is missing a fundamental point: Lieberman offered his loyalty to the Democrats, they rejected it. That leaves him under no obligation to them; he's perfectly free to run against a Democratic candidate.

He hasn't betrayed the Democrats, because they'd already released him from all obligations.

Lamont would undoubtedly have made a better senator, but Lieberman is still less of a problem than any of the Republicans running for the senate, in my view.
