is give the extremists, (and they are always the one's shouting the loudest), a bigger soapbox to shout from.

It's also important to remember that DU is not a reflection of the real world, or even of the mainstream Democratic party membership. Increasingly, and the post in question goes a long way in supporting this, I wonder if it's even a reflection of the progressive/liberal left. I hope it isn't, because before I came here four years ago, that's the camp I would have put myself in.

It has become imperative, IMO, now that Lieberman has turned to the right in the general election - and would be more beholden to them if he does prevail - that Lamont win in CT. I'm no fan of Holy Joe's, but if the resources we're now going to have to put in that race cost us pickups in other races - races against Republicans - one really will have to ask if it was worth it.


It does seem a minor thing when compared to what's really at stake in this election.
