It came from the top of the Party to take Lieberman out. It wasn’t a grass roots effort to get rid of him. It was the political machine running him over.

Really? Have any evidence to support that? Ned Lamont came out of nowhere, and I recall the DSCC and the Dem party leadership supporting Lieberman in the primary. Obama and Bill Clinton actually campaigned for Lieberman.

OK, I wasn't there and I may be faulty in recollection about Lieberman's support from the National Democrat resources. I do KNOW that Clinton campaigned for him in the Primary and I will take your word about Obama. My recollection is that the rest of the support was quite luke-warm and diminished rapidly as the Primary went on and Move-On and its ilk made such waves for Lamont.
