Welcome the Independent Senator from Connecticut. . .
The Democrats have set in motion what can best be considered the beginning of their end. Tonight, Senator Joe Lieberman was narrowly defeated in a primary race by a "netroots" candidate. A product of the far left internet machine, Ned Lamont, will carry the Democrat standard in November against a newly Independent Incumbent Senator Joe Lieberman.
Lamont will lose and lose big in the November election, and the Democrats will not only have lost an election, but they will have lost a seat in the Senate that could still be theirs. In the process they have also created an enemy of their former Vice-Presidential candidate and alienated hundreds of thousands of Democrats who feel the party moving away from them faster and faster everyday.
Lieberman should embrace his new status as an Independent. The Democrats threw out one of their moderates, the Democrats abandoned the center. Joe will drag alot of center oriented Democrats with him wherever he lands. By all accounts this should be the opportunity a viable third party has to make itself a force in American politics. Joe could easily be the lightning rod for such a party.
-OR-
I think the Republican Party found their next VP. So I'll call for it now. Condi-Lieberman '08!!!

PS - So since Lamont was a Kosidate, and since he won, this gives the Kos Kids their first "win" right??? So that means that the Kos Kids first win was against. . . A Democrat. Go figure!
