Clara, Well said.

Has anyone noticed that Lieberman's speechs sound like they were written by Karl Rove?

Also has anyone noticed that Bush's juvenile hand gestures are being used by other Repugs, verrry interesting.

It's about time for an Anti-incumbent Party:

Lieberman's defeat isn't so much about the war but about the fact that liberals have finally grown tired of "Republican lite." It will be difficult to pull the party back to the left where it belongs, with Fox "news" and the conservative bias of the media, but this is a start.

This is a more complete list of what it is about.
