My God!!!! Joe Scarborough makes the most sense.
Why Lieberman's Loss is the Democrats' Gain

The conventional wisdom for tonight's Connecticut primary seems to be that a Joe Leiberman loss will yank the Democratic Party so far left as to make other Democratic candidates unelectable this fall. The logic is laughable and similar to what I heard from Republican leaders in 1994.

Fast forward twelve years and now we find many making the same misguided arguments, except this time they are giving their stupid advice to Democrats generally and Connecticut voters specifically.

Ned Lamont may be a pencil-necked geek, as Imus claims, but he is the type of candidate that will bring out the Democratic base in an off-year election. That is especially true this year because George W. Bush is even more unpopular than Clinton was when the GOP swept into
power.

My advice to Democratic voters this year is "Go left, young man!"

There may be hell to pay in 2008, but for now the only thing that should matter to you is seizing control of Congress. Do that for the first time in a decade and then you can start worrying about swing voters in the suburbs.

on note: Imus is a leather faced troll, who knows little-to-nothing about Lamont.

1. Imus' brain is fried from too much cocaine
and definitely too much ego.

5. The argument I always have is...
centrism and assuaging the Republicans is caving on our core values which makes us look weak. We need to have our beliefs out there and out there STRONG.

We are the party of jobs.
We are the party of economic strength.
We are the party of protecting the environment.
We are the party of the people.

It's a no brainer. We need to stop being in the defensive and get out and kick some butt. :thumbsup:
