Example for Joe Lieberman...Ford Bell drops out in MN Senate Race...
If Lieberman is looking to see how a real Democrat should act...here it is!


In the past, Bell had criticized Klobuchar for her refusal to call for troops to be out of Iraq by a certain date or to adopt his vision for universal single-payer health care, which he called "Medicare for all." Now that he's quitting the race, he said he would support her and asked his backers to do the same.

"The differences within our party are important, but the differences between Mark Kennedy, George Bush and the needs of America are much greater," said Bell, who didn't rule out a future run for political office.


I think Amy Klobauchar has a good chance to keep this seat Dem!

He is acting like a Democrat should act. Hope he runs for office again.

3. Joe doesn't have that kind of class...
his humongous ego has eliminated it, if he ever ID have it.

4. One very important distinction...
Mark Kennedy is one of the GOP's best recruits this year, where Alan Schlesinger is a no-name with no chance.

5. Bell was the liberal in the race
The endorsed candidate is just another never-take-a-clear-stance-on-anything DLC, DSCC stooge. It breaks my heart that I will have to vote for her.
