Leiberman is wrong

In the New York Times and the Washington Post you can read him denouncing any Democratic tilt to the left of him. That seems just a bit self-serving. In addition, since the criticism is aimed at Dr. Dean, I would rate the governor's overall record more conservative than Leiberman's.

I watched his speech and he seemed a weaker candidate than most of the others. He was trying to make a forceful, determined impression but at least twice I thought it slipped into a weak whine. Once in talking about the other candidate and once about how he could persuade NATO allies to help us in Iraq. The biggest perception problem the Democrats will have is any candidate who appears weak or a whiner.

I would vote for Leiberman over Bush any day but that isn't saying much. I would vote for a dead tree stump for President before I would vote for Bush.
