Primary Colors
Big political news from last night: Senator Joe Lieberman lost the Connecticut Democratic primary to upstart Ned Lamont. Whether the race is a referendum on the President, the war, or Lieberman himself is still up in the air. In fact, Lieberman, rejected by the Democratic voters, will now run as an independent. While we admire the gusto, it’s pretty indicative that Senator Lieberman cares a lot more about personal gain than his party. Also, rumor has it he will soon be stripped of all his Senate committee seats, and then how helpful will he be to the voters of the Nutmeg state?
