The Independent's take on the CT Primary...

[HereSince1628]

Senator Joe Lieberman, the Democrats' most senior and outspoken supporter of President George Bush's Iraq policy, fell to anti-Iraq war challenger Ned Lamont today in Connecticut's Democratic primary election.

The race was seen as a harbinger of sentiment over a conflict that has claimed the lives of more than 2,500 US troops

1. Yep... it's that 53% of America who qualifies as "extremists"

because they don't want to be in the middle of the civil war George fomented.

2. I'm listed as Independent albeit in Mass. and I only list myself

this way as to show I owe no party loyalty to either of the major parties. It's not that I vote for the Independent candidate and if I had the choice to vote for Joe he would have to show me why he thinks he is an imdependent thinker outside of either party. He has already failed on one front by running as a Democrat thereby aligning himself with certain party platforms. He was resoundingly defeated. So how can he now take the position that he is independent of the Democatic Party? It makes no sense. I would think he wants to be more aligned with Republicans. It appears that is the vote he thinks he will get to bring him victory in November. As an Independent in Mass. I could never vote for that type of candidate if I lived in Ct.
