The morning after

After losing the CT primary, Joe Lieberman is sounding even more like GWB. He stated this morning that ‘no one’ could persuade him to drop out of the race as an independent. He is the new ‘decider’ and he has decided. He has also showed a bush-like contempt for the will of the people in stating that he ‘cannot and will not’ let the results of the primary stand. I have to say I am deeply insulted by this arrogance and the implicit assumption that the voters of CT somehow did not know what they were doing when they sent a loud and clear message that it is time for Joe to go.

I overheard a co-worker say that despite his feelings about the war he could not vote for Lamont because of his political inexperience. Maybe inexperience is not such a bad thing. Insider Joe has lots of experience, lots of lobbyists filling his war chest, lots of sucking up to Bush and his failed policies. This is the kind of experience that brings us successful strategies like ‘stay the course’ even if the course is leading over a bloody cliff.

Connecticut Democrats made it clear last night that they want a change. Joe would do well to listen and let the will of the people prevail.
