That seems like a shame. I don't know the other guy but Lieberman
seemed to make sense on a lot of issues. I'd been ok voting for
him. As an Independent, he's got no shot. No independent

rid of the parties somewhat...let's just vote for the most popular
guy and the 2nd most popular gets the VP role. ;-)
Good riddance.
This vote was, more than anything else, a referendum on Bush.
His opponent said that pretty much verbatim on CNN, according to the
yahoo article.
Lieberman embraced Bush's vision of the US in the world, and he paid
the price. He's so in the pocket of the Bushies that Karl Rove
offered to help Lieberman's campaign, and the largest get-out-the-
vote effort in Connecticut was by Republican groups who wanted to see
Lieberman win.
That's like Republicans who tried desperately to get the Dem Nomination
last time to Howard Dean!
I admire him for making a choice and sticking with it, but when
it's the wrong choice, you pay the price. Looks like Bush's famous
kiss on Lieberman's cheek was more like the Kiss of Death.
More irony: I thought the EXACT phrase when I read that too!!!
