And certainly, it cannot be denied that the war is a big driver of this particular race. I'm not seeing how you can prove the 65% are against Lieberman because they're against the war, but you might be right. I think, however, it runs deeper. Lieberman has been awfully cosy to George Bush in the last few years. But now it seems that's the wrong person to be kissing. (See http://tinyurl.com/dwlbe) Steve: No need for an argument.

The vote against Lieberman is a vote against the war. If you look at the pro-Lamont blogs, the war is the #1 topic. Many see this as a referendum on the war. It would be nice to see this as a battle against the status quo, but that comes up during every election - and we still re-elect nearly everyone. Still, interesting take. Thanks for piping in.

People are tired of duplicitous politicians putting our nation at risk for their own gain. To wit: in the LATimes.com article you cited it says, "In the most recent poll, released Thursday, 65% of Lamont's supporters said their vote was mainly against Lieberman."

We'd do well to remember the Howard Dean "groundswell" that did not translate to an electoral win. Just because we live online does not mean the real voters do. Thanks for raising that.
