but he's bought into this failed triangulation strategy of "run like a Republican who is not as bad."
As for your examples:
Bob Casey was running against unpopular nutjob Rick Santorum. A bacon sandwich could have beaten him.
Joe Lieberman was re-elected by Republicans (just like how he was elected in the first place) who sold out their own candidate, and he is not even a Democrat anymore.
Hillary Clinton won in NY (who love famous, high profile candidates) against lightweight competition both times.
On the other side, netroots-backed Jim Webb and Jon Tester defeated DCCC-backed primary oppnents in red states and won their general elections.
