Let me just say that I am very disappointed with the voters of Connecticut's Democratic primary. They had a perfectly good senator, one of the best in the country, who only happened to disagree with them on one main issue. The liberals on this board consider themselves to be much more "tolerant" people than the conservatives, but they've just chucked someone based on the fact that he happens to not agree with them 100% on every issue. I don't know where people like jfern get off saying that Lieberman was a rubber-stamp for Bush's policies, when he has criticized several of them (Lieberman mentioned this himself). It's sad, really.
More importantly, I'm worried about the implications of this primary, I hope this doesn't send a message to moderate and independents out there that the liberals who have taken over the Democratic Party won't tolerate anyone who so much as disagrees with them on one issue. I'm not saying Lamont is an extremist, but many of the people who were behind his campaign are. Hopefully, Lieberman will win the general election as an independent and then switch back to the Democratic Party once he takes office again.
