Tonight's result likely scared 58 Dems into acting just like Joe Lieberman

You don't like Joe Lieberman? Well... a lot of Democratic senators are going to read tonight's result and start sounding just like him for the midterm elections.


You'd LIKE to think that they will become MORE forceful in tacking left. But the opposite will happen.


59 Joes. That's what we're going to have for the next 10 months.

2. Tonight's action is supposed to SCARE them back to their roots - i.e., the LEFT
not the right.

4. That's what it's supposed to do Hawkeye
But given the Dem's eternal talent for misreading the tea leaves they'll do exactly the opposite and run screaming to the right.

IMHO

3. If political suicide is their bag then they can go for it.

7. You're probably right. The Democrats will now try to emulate Lieberman and the GOP to curry votes.
