Does Joe represent the Democratic establishment? He lost the primary election. He's not the Democratic candidate. Period.

Respectfully, over the years here at DU I've stood up for you at times and supported Lieberman. I wasn't crazy about his support for the war, but he was right on most issues and that was good enough for me. Big tent and all that.

Now, Joe is thumbing his nose at the very Democrats he claimed to represent and, frankly, is exhibiting petulant behavior that screams sour grapes.

Joe Lieberman has made a choice: He has chosen to disrespect the Democratic voters in his state. dolstein, he's turned against the Democrats. He's looking to Republicans to support his independent bid to thwart the will of the very same Democrats from whom he sought support.

dolstein, Joe lost the primary election. Let me repeat that for emphasis:

Joe lost the Democratic primary.

Don't you think he should have run as an independent in the first place instead of trying to have it both ways?

Come on, I know you're smarter than that. :(

What is it about that that you don't get?
