Lieberman Loses
Watching bits and pieces of Joementum's no-class non-concession.
Tomorrow he tries to have it both ways and files as an independent. The Connecticut GOP is abandoning the flawed no-name nominee (actual name Alan Schlesinger but whio cares) that they can't manage to squeeze off the ballot. So this means if Lieberman lasts to the general, he'll be running as a de facto Republican. (Aside to all the Nader-bashing Dems from 2000: We told you so.)
But I'm still betting that within the next week, he gets talked into bailing, as the residual institutional support he held as an incumbent Democrat shift to Nominee Ned. Bill and Hillary and Dodd and Boxer and Ried and Schumer - all of them will be nudging him out.
