The Democrats' base in those previous generations was not the base that tossed a relative softy like Lieberman on the trash heap. If a Democrat wins next time, they will owe their soul to a base that will not tolerate American use of force for anything short of an invasion of the homeland or unless it is directed against a rightwing European (ala Clinton's farce in Serbia). These are people who think the song "Imagine" is the most sound basis for foreign policy. These aren't your grandfather's Democrats who will be running...or voting...in '08.
Once elected, the party will ignore them again. LOL.....

Most democrats are not that crazy. But right now, they need every vote.
