“I think it would be irresponsible and inconsistent with my principles if I were to just walk off the field.” ~Joe Lieberman

Apparently chief among those principles is getting re-elected, no matter what you have to do to make it happen.  In other responses to decreasing Joementum, the Boston Globe smacked Lieberman around for his “polarisation” rhetoric and the ridiculous Kennedy and dessicated Kerry made their pitches for Lamont.  Normally I would not dwell this long on a primary race in a state with which I have no connection and in a party that I generally hold in contempt, but the jingoes have made this one of the decisive contests of the year and their repudiation counts for something.
