Should I be praising you for acting appropriately?

I'm not saying much either, but I am wondering when the threat I was given 'for trolling'

And probably wind up banned for trolling in the process
is actually going to take affect against everyone else.

A thread on Lamont's loss is fine, and while I don't particularly care for it being directed at a specific member, I don't have a problem intent like I would with bumping every single thread on the subject.

Congrats to Lieberman, but I agree with Thorgrim the break Lamont took after winning the primary is what did him in.. he lost focus, and wasn't able to make it about Iraq like in the rest of the nation.

I hope Lieberman adopts the old strategy of:
I'm going to prove Lamont-supporters to have been foolish because they were wrong to oppose me in the first place

If he does, he'll turn left or stay left on a lot of issues, we already know he's staying put as a Senator and promised to caucus with the Dems, Harry Reid make backroom deals that hurt Lamont but made sure Lieberman would stay with the Democrats

He's a principled man. Maybe he'd be willing to continue crossing party lines and doing what he feels is best for America and not appease the minority who voted for Lamont. Seems like after yesterday that might be a wise political move.

Unfortunately for the ultra-left... Lamont is not what CT wanted as much as they all were screaming it was so.

They rejected his campaign, not his ideas

He ran a poor post-primary campaign and never refined himself, I blame Lamont, but I still like the guy

However, a single digit win (i think its 9.5 if you really get down the numbers) is no rejection anyway...

If it was Russ Feingold up there running against him (assuming Russ lived in CT) Russ would have cleaned Joe's clock

50-40-10 is a very decent win. And if the Republican didn't run it would have been 60-40. That's not to mention Lieberman ran as an Independent.

Talking about voting sure, but not an official majority as long as Lieberman and Sanders are still Independants.

Officially the Senate is 49 Dems, 49 Rep and 2 Independents. Which means both parties will share power in the Senate. Wouldnt doubt one or both independents switch though.

you have to watch how you phrase things, your post is ambigious about what you mean by "switching"...and since Sanders was backed as the Dem candidate despite declining to give up his Ind status, "switching" would mean he would consider caucusing with the GOP

He's a socialist, Democrats are not socialist, therefor he will never join the Democratic Party

On Lieberman: BREITBART.COM - Lieberman: Call Me a Democrat

"no majority" that such a waste of time in a semantics argument

yes when one party has only 49 Senators, that is NOT a majority.


Since Lieberman has switched parties, they NOW have a majority.
