I wonder how many Joe voters could see that one coming?

2. Joe's supporters are people in denial.
They aren't attuned to political realities and go on name recognition, favors, or party label.

5. What is Bill Clinton saying about this?

Down memory lane
<snip>
Former President Bill Clinton is sticking up for U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman and his support of the Iraq war.

Clinton, who spoke at an Aspen Institute conference last week, questioned why Democrats in Connecticut are focusing on ousting a fellow Democrat, Lieberman.

Lieberman faces a stronger-than-expected Aug. 8 primary challenge by Greenwich millionaire businessman Ned Lamont, who has criticized Lieberman for his support of the war and his perceived closeness with Republicans and President Bush.

Clinton defended Lieberman's Democratic credentials, mentioning how the senator has been endorsed by labor unions, environmental organizations and gay groups.

Earlier this month, Clinton's wife, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, said she will not back Lieberman's bid for re-election if he loses the primary. Lieberman said Friday that volunteers have begun collecting signatures to petition him onto the November ballot as an independent candidate should he lose on Aug. 8.

6. Joe will never win again
hr is in the last throes of his office. The people won't be fooled again, and next time he'll have the full force of the DNC to crush him.

8. Oh, no! Not Joe! My heart is broken now!
But I like the OP question. That was the election where both party machines worked against us, the people.
