Heart of Gold

Governor Bill Richardson is a man who understands:

"Joe Lieberman is a good friend of mine, a true public servant who has served his constituents and the Democratic Party well.

However, after a hard-fought race Connecticut's Democratic voters chose Ned Lamont as their candidate for US Senate.

I look forward to supporting Ned as he fights to help Democrats take back the Senate, and I call on Joe Lieberman to respect the will of the voters and step aside."

Just when are all the other Senators, Governors and Congress People going to follow Bill's example.

I was directed to Josh Marshall's post yesterday by a fellow blogger:

But now Lieberman is not only running as the de facto Republican in the race, he's running as the worst sort of Republican, going on the trail claiming that any serious questioning of our policy in Iraq is a victory for the terrorists, even pulling in yesterday's terror plot take-down into his angle against Lamont. With Lamont, those guys might have blown up the plane. Leaving Iraq is a win for the terrorists. A Lamont win is a win for the terrorists. That was after Wednesday when Joe pledged to save the Democratic party from the extremists he seems to think make up the entire Democratic party. Except for Joe.

Agitprop has the list of all those naughty wingnut blogs and what they are saying about Sore Joe Loserman.

On the other side of history, Idyllopus Press has a really nice post up on The Trail of Tears.
