Sad

At least this means he likely won't be the VP pick.

The Democrats who defended and supported Joe Lieberman in 2006 owe the rest of us Democrats an apology.

Like hell we don't!  I supported Lieberman in 2006, I'll support him in 2012; I'll support him until he stops running.  I don't have to support every Democratic nominee; I'll support the best candidate.

No we don't.  Being a Democrat (or a Republican) does not mean always supporting the Democratic candidate. 

The people like myself who advocated Lieberman's defeat in 2006 were attacked and called every name in the book. We were right about everything, every accusation.

You abandoned a guy based on 1 issue, and then called him a traitor because he didn't agree with you.  It's his right to support the war if he wants; remember, without him, we wouldn't have the Senate majority this year.  He could've voted with the GOP, but he chose to vote with us, because he is a Democrat.

Joe is done as a Democrat after the 2008 election. Let him go to the Republicans.

And become the most liberal republican?  No.  If the Dems don't want to list them on their rolls, then when he goes up for reelection, he should run as a true independent, and not as an independent democrat.

I'd support him.
