Dick Morris: Hillary Clinton Big Loser in Lieberman Loss

Dick Morris, America's most prominent campaign strategist, tells NewsMax that the biggest victim of Joe Lieberman's stunning loss in Connecticut's Democratic primary is Hillary Rodham Clinton.

"The big loser last night was Hillary Clinton," Morris said. "She has to go through the Democratic [presidential] primaries to win and it is an increasingly hostile place for someone who voted for the war and has not recanted."

Senator Clinton has not announced a 2008 bid, but most political observers say she will run and already holds the frontrunner mantle because of her ability to raise funds and tap into her husband's political network.

But Morris says Lieberman has a good chance to win this November's general election as an independent candidate.

"Over one million people will vote in the general election and the fact that Lamont was able to get 150,000 to 200,000 left-wing Democrats to back him doesn't mean he can win in November, Morris said. He added: "Lieberman will broaden the focus of the race to include his work on the environment, climate change, homeland security, tobacco, campaign finance reform and a host of other issues."

"Lamont will increasingly emerge as the lightweight he really is," Morris concluded.
