<part backed the war (which had 65% public support, stop cherry picking the polls to rewrite history)> It is you Nadine who rewrite history -- most Americans opposed unilateral war and wanted the UN onboard if we were going to go into Iraq. That was the moment of truth. The Dems did not have the courage to fight the midterm elections with this issue, thinking they could sweep in under the carpet and run on economic issues -- wrong. Supporting the war was a gutless sellout of the Center in hopes of winning by appealing to the mythical "left" on economic issues -- that was suicide because there was no left to elect them. Opposing the war was centrist -- voting for it was just gutless.

<If Lieberman, a true centrist, had been nominated he might well be in office now.>

Interesting comment - back in early 2004, just before leaving the US, I told my neighbor there (a repub), that if Lieberman was nominated he would have my vote. As events turned out, GWB got it.
