Outside Iraq his foreign policy is smarmy touchy-feely crapola. He hasn't paid attention and it will probably get him in trouble in the next few months, make my words.
But nobody cares about that stuff. The reason this happened was because a series of blogs became really political, incredibly motivated, and simply could not wait to exercise its power. It's a remarkable phenomenon. But it was blood in the water to sharks. And so far, all it has done is tear down a powerful standing senator who was 90% on their side.
And to very seriously hurt the chances that the Ds will take back the Senate.

So if Lieberman wins as an independent, and the Democrats pick up six seats in November, doesn't that mean Lieberman gets to decide which party controls the Senate? And if so, do the Democrats really want to take Kos' advice and piss him off? Just asking!

The drama is exquisite if this comes to pass. I'm half hoping for it just for the beautiful fireworks display.
I believe you can never get a candidate that you are 100% happy with. The furious "netroots" circle that gave Lamont his base have not matured enough, not seen enough elections to really understand that. They are like babes playing with their new metal toy and they may have to stick it into an electrical outlet to learn if that's a good idea.
