Democratic Primary Results

Joe Lieberman is no longer a democrat.
Story: " Sen. Joe Lieberman has conceded the U.S. Senate primary to challenger Ned Lamont but vowed to petition his way onto the November ballot as an independent."

Interestingly enough, Joe's site was down all day long, courtesy a Denial of Service attack, by who know who. Lieberman claims it was Ned Lamont, Lamont of course denies it. I think the MoveOn crowd is at fault, or one of their members.

Cynthia McKinney:
Story: "
Attorney Hank Johnson, a former county commissioner, won the nomination with 59 percent of the vote, surpassing McKinney by more than 11,000 votes."

Not suprised. Most people don't approve of cop slappers.

So, one loss for the good guys, one victory, although Lieberman could win the election still.

"Lieberman could win the election still."

Or better yet a split vote might give the Republicans a chance. Probably not but we can dream.

That would be very good. Another republican senator, although probably in name only.

I dunno. I would rather have a democracit senator than a vaccilating republican.

I would rather increase the number of people listed under my party, even if they don't vote with me, for 1 reason.

Commitee desicions. The party that has the majority also gets the majority seats in the commitees. And its more likely that a republican majority will appoint conservatives then a Democrat one.
