Although I'm an original goldwater conservative, I always liked Joe Lieberman. He's a true gentleman like Zoe Miller. And like Reagan said : I didn't leave the democratic party, they left ME(a conservative democrat). After they fail again next week, perhaps, just perhaps they will wake up and realize, as they "auger in" to oblivion, that you can't fly an airplane with just one(left)wing. Lieberman, Miller, even Traficant wasn't much of a RIGHT wing but now even that stubby wing is GONE....Prediction : there will be very little change in the house and senate numbers...the real question is the "perot effect", disaffected republicans not voting.
Even so he is the better part of that dilapidated pile of flaky human debitage known as the Democrat Party.
