Harold Meyerson gets it!

But then, he usually does.

Lieberman's Real Problem
"...Well. I don't blog; I columnize. But count me with the bloggers on this one. No great mystery enshrouds the challenge to Lieberman, nor is the campaign of his challenger, Ned Lamont, a jihad of crazed nit-pickers. Lieberman has simply and rightly been caught up in the fundamental dynamics of Politics 2006, in which Democrats are doing their damnedest to unseat all the president's enablers in this year's elections. As well, Lieberman's broader politics are at odds with those of his fellow Northeastern Democrats. He is not being opposed because he doesn't reflect the views of his Democratic constituents 100 percent of the time. He is being opposed because he leads causes many of them find repugnant."

2. Always give a kick for Meyerson...

he's the only columnist I make a point to read on a regular basis.

3. I disagree only with the last line:

Lieberman's problem is not CT. It's Lieberman.

[blm]

4. Meyerson usually does. He has a street sensibility most DC columnists will

never have.

5. Sounds like a Bible-belt democrat

Bible belt democrats have to say they are Christian just to get some votes & they still don't win on most cases. But Lieberman is not from the belt. He is from CT. He can be as liberal has he wants to.
But he chooses to act like a republican. We need a good strong democrat in his seat so that we can support more of the democratic strategies in government to oppose the spend happy Bush.
