The WHOLE point of this article is that now that CT has realized that LIEberman's portrayal of himself, during the campaign, as anti-war too is a BIG FAT LIE - they would have voted against him in large enough numbers to change the results.

"Had Connecticut voters had more information about exactly how Lieberman's campaign to reinvent himself as an antiwar leader was a complete sham, that key segment of the Democratic and Independent voters might not have been confused, and the election - as the poll now confirms - would have gone the other way."

You couldn't be more wrong that DUers/bloggists are mistaken when they think that getting out of Iraq NOW was the core issue voters cared about in the last election.

The way I see it there are two reasons why the Dems took control of the House and Senate - and NOBODY in their right mind even imagine taking the Senate was even a possibility -

1. Get us out of Iraq and 2. clean up the outrageous corruption - ie investigate investigate investigate - at least the Dems have been getting that right - except it seems now that Gonzales has resigned that may come to a screeching hualt...let's hope not, but I'm pretty concerned about that.

So I'm curious what do you think the core issue was - now and for the next election?
