93. Accountability is good. Entitlement is bad.
Too often we fall into the trap of thinking that because a president serves 4 years, they are <i>entitled</i> to the party's nomination and campaign funds for the next election.

I'm glad lieberman was at least challeneged, even though we didn't get the outcome we wanted. I hope he will be challenged again with better results next time. Unfortunately the DLC and DSCC felt he was <i>entitled</i> to their support simply because he was the incumbent.

Power protects and reinforces power.
