Sean Smith, Lieberman's campaign manager, said Lieberman was prepared to go forward with an independent run no matter what the primary outcome.This blog is always happy to see and hear independently minded politicians. We as individuals or as a group don't always agree with them but we respect them. However, Senator Lieberman's current stance smacks of a child who is taking his ball and going home.
"This is bigger than the party now," Smith said.more
Mr. Senator, you lost. You stated your position about the war in Iraq and other issues and the people of your state didn't like it. In the last days of your primary contest when faced with defeat you suddenly tried to distance yourself from an unpopular President whom you had been sidling up to for the last 2+ years. And now that you have indeed lost, you expect the people of Connecticut to believe that you would have run as an independent even if you had won the primary. That is simply ludicrous. There is no way a life long politician such as yourself would bypass millions of dollars from the DNC and the Connecticut Democrats in an election year.
This isn't bigger than the party now, Senator Lieberman. You just think you are.

Yeah but this is the same guy who, along with others, accused Nader of scuttling the Dems in 2000. Now he thinks it is a good idea?
The part that irks me the most is the BS about him running as an independent regardless of the outcome of the primary. Yeah right.
