e need Lieberman to win, because it's essential that America has two parties willing to defend this nation

We're nowhere close to having two parties willing to defend this nation--with or without Joe Lieberman. What you're asking for isn't even in play.

Lots of Dems voted for the war in Iraq, but are weak and got scared by the wingnut wing of the Dem party. That Joe Lieberman is willing to stand up and give them the finger is great, and he must win as an "Independent Dem" or whatever he is to ensure that the wingnut bad guys don't win.
