Joey Lieberman announced in his graceless concession speech that he will run as an "I" independent. I use the diminutive Joey because he's acting every bit the spoiled, self-entitled, self-indulgent child that he is.
"I" because it's all about him. It's never been about what's best for his party, his country or his constituents (unless there was a payoff for Holy Joe). It's always been about "I".
If he doesn't take himself off the ballot as an independent and do what every other person who loses a primary does, accept his loss with poise and grace, then he needs to be made Persona non grata in the Democratic Party by noon tomorrow.
There's too much at stake in other races this year to be focusing on re-defeating a guy who is now taking his electoral cues from the vanity run of Ralph Nader.
Hey Hey Ho Ho,
Holy Joe has got to go!

What a difference in speeches. Who was bitter and arrogant? What a classless politician Leverman was! Umm, reminds me of somebody!
And Lamont, what a class act thanking Leverman for his 18 years of service!
That is revolution at its finest!!

We Progressives will be a neo-con's worst nightmare!!!

Thankfully the good people of Connecticut have some stellar common sense - and ditched the lover boy of GW Bush.
As Kos so aptly noted: one of the biggest losers??
- The DC Beltway gang..."the DC crowd led a popular 18-year-incumbent to defeat. Is it any wonder Republicans have been kicking our ass?"
No shit. Time to pull your heads out of your collective asses and wake up.
In worse news in Michigan - Wingnut funded (Club for Growth) Tim Walberg (R-way out there) defeated Joe Schwartz (R, moderate) in the 7 CD primary. Sucks for me, because this is a highly republican district, redrawn during John "fatass" Engler's administration (sorta like Delay did in Texas) - to benefit republicans only.
We're trying to change that right now via voter petition drive, from what I understand.
