It's not a question of what I want, I don't vote in Connecticut. When a politician takes one of the most divisive issues of the day, declares himself squarely opposite to the vast majority of his party, he may be making a statement, but he will still have to face the voters tomorrow. Condemning people for voting against a candidate they don't agree with doesn't appeal to me. Lieberman isn't making an effort to build bridges across the Iraq issue and unite his voters around a centrist position. He simply crossed the aisle and dug in his heels. Where are the maverick Republicans who defied their party's orthodoxy and still expect to run as their party's candidate this fall? Who has reached out there across the aisle and survived? If I saw some Republicans doing what Lieberman has done and NOT getting chopped off at the knees, you would have an argument.
