Democrats finally take a hit on the war

So Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., lost his re-election bid. The three-term Senator fell to anti-war challenger Ned Lamont in Connecticut's Democratic primary Tuesday, a race seen as a harbinger of sentiment over a conflict that has claimed the lives of more than 2,500 U.S. troops.
According to The Wichita Eagle, Aug. 09:
Unbowed, Lieberman immediately announced he would enter the fall campaign as an independent. Only six years ago, Lieberman was the Democrats' choice for vice president.
Those not hypnotized the by the current president and his terrorism blather want some real opposition in the upcoming elections and not just someone who will dance around the issues. A lot of people want this war ended and some even want an attempt to mediate peace in Lebanon before the country re descends into civil war.
Will the Democratic Party finally get a clue and move to the left or just continue to slide into oblivion? It’s too early to tell if this is just one state where anti-war people have had enough or whether this is just an isolated incident.Either way: Good Buy Sen. Lieberman and good riddance.
