“Go left, young man!”
The conventional wisdom for tonight’s Connecticut primary seems to be that a Joe Leiberman loss will yank the Democratic Party so far left as to make other Democratic candidates unelectable this fall. The logic is laughable and similar to what I heard from Republican leaders in 1994.

That was the election year when the most conservative wing of the GOP took over the party and swept into power in the US Congress. None would have predicted that outcome just two years earlier.

Fast forward twelve years and now we find many making the same misguided arguments, except this time they are giving their stupid advice to Democrats generally and Connecticut voters specifically.

Ned Lamont may be a pencil-necked geek, as Imus claims, but he is the type of candidate that will bring out the Democratic base in an off-year election. That is especially true this year because George W. Bush is even more unpopular than Clinton was when the GOP swept into power.

My advice to Democratic voters this year is “Go left, young man!”

There may be hell to pay in 2008, but for now the only thing that should matter to you is seizing control of Congress. Do that for the first time in a decade and then you can start worrying about swing voters in the suburbs

2. the spin machine is going into hyperdrive

The idea of the nation returning to the center, if not slightly left, is driving the big biz nutters.

4. Wes Clark has always been against the war.

If you don't believe me ask Michael Moore. He endorsed the General during the 04 primary's because of Clark's anti war stance.

5. I agree with him

He is saying going moderate is not going to win. Going left will.

6. I'm a moderate Democrat and I'm happy as hell Joe lost.

The Other Joe needs to come clean on why his secretary was found dead in his office. He lost his Rep. seat as a result...what deal did you make with the Devil Joe? Oh I know...

7. Dead Intern Joe is correct here.

He's right on target.

Go left!!!
