Democratic Leadership Council

Statement by Al From in Reaction to Lieberman Endorsement
In reaction to Senator Joe Lieberman's (ID-CT) endorsement of Senator John McCain's campaign for president today, Al From, founder and CEO of the Democratic Leadership Council, released the following statement:

"I am very saddened by Senator Lieberman's choice, and profoundly disagree with it. We need to elect a Democratic president in 2008."


Dear Al, sometimes actions come back to haunt. Sorry about that. Saying I told you so would not be a good thing, would it?

1. To Al From: Told ya so, told ya so, told ya so!
There Mad, did it for you.

Although I doubt he really cares, Al From is about as much a Democrat as Lieberscum.

3. Fraudocrat Al From wakes up.
Both he and Holy Joe should, in the immortal words of Run-DMC, "find a short pier and take a long walk".

Al From Gets Religion
Posted by Joe Klein

A press release from the Democratic Leadership Council today:

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In reaction Senator Joe Lieberman's (ID-Conn.) endorsement of Senator John McCain's campaign for president today, Al From, founder and CEO of the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) released the following statement:

"I am very saddened by Senator Lieberman's choice, and profoundly disagree with it. We need to elect a Democratic president in 2008."

For what it's worth, I don't think the Lieberman endorsement is going to help McCain with unaffiliated voters in New Hampshire. The Republican-leaning independents were probably heading toward McCain or Giuliani anyway. Unlike 2000, the Democratic-leaners will not cross over to vote McCain. They'll be more interested in influencing the tight Democratic race. And I'd bet that the relatively tiny group of truly independent voters will trend toward the Democratic race, since it's much more interesting.

This endorsement was more a matter of sentiment than of strategy: Lieberman and McCain simply adore each other, in an embattled way. They share a myopic, and wrongheaded, view of Iraq, a view that has intensified as the Anbar Awakening succeeded and Baghdad's ethnic cleansing reduced the violence there. Both talk of "victory" in Iraq, which is foolish. Neither understands the importance of the intra-Shi'ite conflict in the south in determining the future of the country. Both want to bomb-bomb-bomb bomb-bomb Iran. I don't think many American voters agree with them.

8. Yes, Al. We need to elect a Democrat in 2008
And that excludes anyone whose name appears on your website. And most certainly anyone pictured as a "leader" there.
