Lieberman?

It looks as though Lieberman may win as an independant, why exactly did the Democrats kick him out?

Do you Democrats think he will rejoin you guys, or tell you to go **** yourself?

Re: Lieberman?

He lost the primary to a challenger, the Democrat Party didn't kick him out the voters did, curious what would happen if this happened to a Republican . He will win because a lot of Republicans and Independents will vote for him. Just because he supported the invasion of Iraq don't kid yourself that he supports what the Republican Party stands for.

The Democratic party may not have actually kicked him out, but they sure did leave him swinging in the wind, I think it will be funny if he does win and stays Independant.

Re: Lieberman?

What were they supposed to do, he lost to a challenger in the primary. The Party didn't choose either candidate in the primary but as soon as he lost they had to go with the winner of the primary in the general election. If a similiar situation arose in the GOP I am sure they would do the same thing.

The Democrats bailed on Lieberman before the primary and favored his opponent.

Your right I thought they didn't take a position on the primary. Either way a 3 term Senator loses a primary, he should have walked away. As it is he will probably win but I see him voting with the Dems more than the Reps, but not exclusively.

I would like to see her win, but she won't, it is bullshit the way the Republican party treated her.

Re: Lieberman?

Well I am up here in NE so I wasn't sure. Why didnt they support her at all. Is she really that bad of a candidate or is it because of the publicity from when she was your sec. of state overseeing the 2000 election?

Re: Lieberman?

Little bit of everything but I did not vote for her because of her association with the unhonorable CW Bill Young.

She did what she was supposed to do in 2000 (she followed the law), then she ran and got a seat in her hometown of Sarasota, then set her eyes on running against Bill Nelson, and the Republican Party didn't want her to, so they treated her like a stepchild.
