The concern about Joe's hiring of Marshall Wittmann is and should be real. I see Raw Story has something up about those concerns today. Wittman was McCain's campaign guy, former lobbyist for Pat Robertson, and the Bullmoose blogger at DLC who coined the term "nutroots" for those of us who are activists.

Our Democrats have a right to be concerned in trusting him with party secrets.

In this video during the CT campaign, a reporter asks another Democrat if Joe's run will hurt other Democrats in their races...he answers absolutely. Joe, when asked, sort of laughs, says they should have thought about that during the primary..and then says here we are. About a minute into the video.

1. nothing we can do

if he doesn't caucus with us, we are a minority in the Senate.

3. If he is standing with Wittmann, we already are a minority.

He made his statement, he spoke out against the people of the party. He had to know this guy has done nothing but bait the people of the party, whom I call grassroots, progressives, or netroots.

He knew what he was doing by choosing the guy whose blog made fun of us every day nearly.

8. Except for the other 90% of the time. n/t

2. Joe pretends that it was the democratic party that rejected him during the primary...

...it was his constituency. Now he will hold the senate hostage to punish them and make america pay.

4. Lieberman; Democratic Party Hemorrhoid...

Painful; in a bad place; makes it hard to sit... and it probably needs surgery to be removed, but we're stuck with it because we don't have health insurance and can't afford it--even if we could afford to take time off to have the surgery which would be painful in and of itself (we had a partial surgery during the primaries (painful enough), but while we went through with the surgery, we didn't count on the thing growing back as fast as we removed it; now we're stuck with a pain in the ass--and we owe the doctor anyway).

5. Another reason why everyone who said "Lieberman's reelection is no biggie" owes us an apology.

This proves there was no excuse for Reid and the Senate Democrats to betray Ned Lamont.
For shame, cowards, for shame.

6. Absolutely.... Thanks for the Mole!

11. this is from August 30

7. I knew this would happen--two years of threats and blackmail

and to think there are those who still want to say "Thank you, Joe" for sticking with the democratic party, but what will it cost?

9. We just better elect some actual goddam DEMOCRATS

to the Senate in 2008.

In addition to putting Gore in the WH, of course.

[Ken Burch]

10. And get the Connecticut Legislature, which now has veto-proof Democratic majorities

To finally pass a "sore loser" law so that Lieberman can't do it again in 2012.

12. Liebermans a Republican

we might as well just put a big R by his name and move on :puke:
