Hullabaloo is quite good - Why is Lieberman looking like toast?
I was going to recommend his noticing the true and effective political observation that a vote against Lieberman is a vote against Bush and the GOP. Is Lieberman a prime example of what may happen to many politicians in November that embrace Bush and GOP policies? His most vocal defenders in the media are the conservative Right pundits. Lieberman is more favored nationally by Republicans then Democrats. Tuesday's results may reveal a lot about the November elections, mostly in the sense that Democrats obviously need to run against Bush and even Republicans should keep their distance.
But that is also related to his post on how poorly Lieberman has run his campaign. Joe could have easily run as a Democrat against Bush and the GOP policies but he chose not to do so except for the last couple of days. There is a lot of stuff from before he ran for President with him disagreeing with Bush and GOP policies. His campaign used none of it. You are left with the options that he changed his stripes and really became a Republican or he is a prime example of how Democratic DC insiders know how to lose elections.
The problem, but it is not a problem just click here, is that all of Digby's stuff is good.
