While his enthusiastic support of the war makes him a prime target and I think he deserves to loose his job just on that basis, overall his voting record is pretty good. Looking closer, it gets a little hard to make out. While he voted against Brown and Owen, for example, he was instrumental in getting them up for a full vote that was sure to carry in their favor. His history of “reaching out” to Repblicans has only resulted in more wins for Republicans. The results would no doubt be the same if he was a fighter. Though it’s just this sort of surrender that a lot of grass roots progressives get so frustrated about. How can you respect the guy when he won’t stand up to the Right and acts like “developing a dialog” makes one bit of difference. The Right in this country is not interested in dialog or democracy. They are just interested in total domination. Liberman, Clinton, Biden, the DCL, etc. have neutered the oposition to the radical reactionary forces that have taken over this country. Lamont is probably not a great candidate, and when it’s all over Liberman will probably retain his seat, but this fight is still good for the Democratic party.</p> I’ve been looking at Liberman’s voting record.

I hope someone on Lamont’s team was as quick off the dime as you were, but I suppose it could be Lieberman. After all, he knew he was going to use it as a tag line and Lamont’s people didn’t.</p> Rayne — Repeat that upstairs (new thread) and I’m sure you’ll have takers.
