I know you guys already knew that, but after today's events it just needed to be said again.
John from Americablog also chimes in:
"I want the opportunity to put my case before all the people of Connecticut in November," Lieberman said.Well, there are a few problems here. First off, you can't run as a Democrat if you think you have to run as an independent because not enough Democrats will vote for you. In a democracy, you get to be the Democratic candidate by winning the Democratic primary. If you have to short circuit the democratic process in order to win the office, you're not a Democrat (or a democrat either).....
...Lieberman has the right to be out of touch with the majority of the Democratic party and the majority of Connecticut Democrats. He even has the right to be a little bit nutty. What Joe Lieberman does not have is the right to defy the will of the voters in an election that is becoming less and less about the issues, and more and more about Joe Lieberman's ego.
It's time to let it go, Joe. At some point, it's more humane to simply pull the plug.
