Reply #206: If that was their concern

then Rove wouldn't have been offering to help Lieberman. The White House press secretary wouldn't have given quotes on the primary claiming it meant Democrats were weak on terror. They wouldn't have the right wing talk shows talking about Lamont and Lieberman.

Face it, the Republicans want people talking about that primary - they think they can use it to paint Democrats as 'extreme'. To think they would order British police to do an entire operation, and completly screw up British airports, just to provide an alternative lead story (when there's nothing else going on in the world, is there, such as , umm, Israel, Palestine and Lebanon, perhaps?) is absurd. Get some perspective. The world doesn't revolve around Democrtaic senate primaries.
