>That's what happens when you get some goofballs with blogs thinking they can influence elections from their computer keyboards. The blogs are making politics more democratic... the netroots will win some more than they'll lose some, but all in all, the movement is making sure that our representatives can't get away with "politics as usual." -Z

I think Leiberman might as well be a Repugnican. He may win as an independent, with Repugnican votes. He's not a Democrat. He's the Senator from Israel, their Dem point man in the Senate. The Senate representative of AIPAC, if you will. I can't imagine why the local voters want him. I felt his selection by Gore was a huge mistake, and he may have COST Gore the votes that would have won him the election in 2000. "Joementum" was a drag on the ticket. If he wins as an independent by co opting Repugnican votes, but couldn't win as a Dem - he shouldn't be a Dem. I have no problem with it, it's democracy in action.
