Lieberman

If you haven't been paying attention, you should. We're witnessing an ENORMOUS shift in politics right before our eyes. And - after years of wondering what the fuck it would take Americans to wake up - we're watching a small state (Connecticut) start a nationwide movement. Lieberman will likely lose today because he supports the Iraq war, because he supports Bush way too often, and because he's been in the Senate for 18 years and has forgotten his principles. Did you know he is one of the largest recipients of lobbyist $$$$? I think his wife is even a lobbyist. They are DC-insiders. People want other people like them in Congress --- FINALLY!

The Democrats are going to take control of this country again in November. There is no doubt about it. People are fed up. Americans can be lazy motherf'ers, but once you piss them off, they are an angry bunch.

So pay attention. FireDogLake, AmericaBlog, DailyKos, etc all have great coverage. Here is what the WSJ says:

WASHINGTON -- Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman's political fate will be decided Tuesday in the state's Democratic primary, but the race's focus on public opposition to the Iraq war and President Bush has put other incumbents on notice that a voter revolt could be in the making.

The 18-year incumbent's battle reflects a trend this year: An anti-incumbent mood is striking hardest against politicians aligned with the president, regardless of their party. One of challenger Ned Lamont's most potent weapons is a photo of Mr. Bush planting a kiss on Sen. Lieberman's cheek after the 2005 State of the Union speech. A poll released Monday shows Mr. Lieberman making up ground, but Mr. Lamont is still ahead 51% to 45%.
