#1 Good. Lieberman should wear MoveOn's opposition as a badge of honor. It takes some mighty big cojones to do what Lieberman has done -- in effect, buck the trend in his party -- and he should be proud of his stance.

#2 Do the Republicans run against Lieberman? As I recall, Bill Buckley got him to run to defeat Weicker. Any one know if there's truth to this?

#3 Question: how many of MoveOn.org's sponsored candidates have won their elections? If the percentage is low, then what difference does their support/opposition make?

#4 TW, What a rational question. What makes you think it is applicable or relevant to the true believers of the extreme left?

#9 LH, That's an insult to Lieberman and Miller.

#10 #4 - TW's question is not relevant to the left, but is of interest to me, and I LOVE the answer in #5. The lefties STILL haven't figgered it out!

#11 Lieberman is posturing for the next election. If he can pull the moderate dems from the moonbat pool he could stand a chance next election. He has all the "I support the war and troops" platform pluss the liberal union and minority support. Looks like he has just declaired his intentions.

#12 Joe L won't stand a chance when someone like Biden and Kerry is willing to apply his lips to every leftist buttock to get the nod. I doubt he'll even be allowed to speak at the convention. BTW I actually think he's doing this on principle, not pandering. He's to be saluted. Hell, he's more Republican than Specter

#13 Frank
I might just be getting cynical about the motives of anyone from the left. But You are right that he is to be commended for his stand and I would hope it's on priciple.

#14 he'd be 0 for 2 after the first two primaries, and the way the Donk party is drifting to port, he won't have substantial $. I see a quick campaign fold, but he'll stay on message. In my mind that's an indication of some principles of belief....
