I remember Senator Lieberman best as one of the 7 Democratic centrist,
who joined with 7 Republican centrist, to prevent Senator Frist from
abolishing the filibuster, which would have allow president Bush to more
easily pack the court with Judges who were less than qualified for the
Supreme Court, like his own personal councel, Harriet Miers, for Chirt's
sake. LOL. I respect Senator Lieberman for his stand to protect the
Senate filibuster, but now Senator Lieberman should throw his support
behind Ned Lamont who won the Democratic primary. Instead, Senator
Lieberman is planning on running as an independent. This could split
the Democratic vote and allow a Neo-Conservative Bush Republican to win
the Senate seat.

HARTFORD, Conn., Aug . 8 -- In a stunning repudiation, Sen. Joseph I.
Lieberman <http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/members/l000304/>
(D-Conn.) lost the Democratic Senate primary here Tuesday night, falling
to antiwar candidate Ned Lamont in a campaign that became a referendum
on the incumbent's support for the Iraq war and what opponents charged
was his failure to challenge President Bush's war policies.
Lieberman conceded the race to Lamont late Tuesday, but vowed to run in
the general election in November as an independent.
