Reply #3: thus far, the party's reaction to Lamont's win has been underwhelming [View All]

[welshTerrier2]

Wes Clark was correct when he suggested that the Dem Party leadership may still not perceive "the mounting rage in much of the electorate over the failures of President Bush’s policies" ...

we are watching the reaction of our party's leaders to the newly emerging "Lamont wing" of the party ... so far, it's been underwhelming ...

yeah, they're all going to "back" the Democratic candidate ... and then they turn right around and said such nice things about good old Joe ...

let me help them: "Democratic voters in CT have spoken ... they've sent a loud and clear message that the war has got to be stopped and that cozying up to bush and the neocons is not acceptable conduct for elected Democrats ... Joe Lieberman, if he indeed runs as an Independent, is stabbing his party in the back. We will do everything in our power to see that he does not succeed."

if the party's leadership continues their tap-dancing around Lieberman's candidacy, they may soon find themselves having to run as Independents ... triangulation is dead; the old ways are not going to fly anymore ... we're watching you, party leaders ... get your act together NOW ...

from the article cited in the OP:

People don't want Democratic politicians whose grotesquely nuanced positions on issues make their utterances incomprehensible or meaningless or both. They want a new direction.
