He's at best a DINO...he backs the neocon/Bush agenda far too frequently for him to ever be considered a democrat, or a decent human being. Lieberman is NOT a democrat.

They post a link at Kos or MyDD and the comments praise it to the rafters and swear it's the greatest thing ever. Then Ned drops another two points in the polls and the Netroots geniuses have to come up with yet another theory of how they're going to win despite being 10 points down. . . 12 points . . . 14 points . . . It's be funny if it weren't sad. Lamont has run a pitiful campaign and Lieberman -- who I can't stand -- is going to clean his clock. Every couple of days Lamont releases another ad.

Lamont has run a pitiful campaign and Lieberman — who I can’t stand — is going to clean his clock.

First, I respect what they've built, but second, I don't think it will ultimately be very effective at getting people elected. It may sway some journalists here and there, but, as Markos of Daily Kos says he wants to do, will it be as effective as the Republican Noise Machine? Maybe. But honestly, who wants another noise machine? Much like Howard Dean, Ned Lamont is turning out to be a paper tiger who isn't ready for prime time. His message isn't resonanting, and I think that speaks volumes about the ultimate effectiveness of the left-wing blogosphere. Well, my opinion about the netroots is two-fold.

IMO, that is a farily sizable accomplishment. If CT had a sore loser law or a half way decent Republican nominee for Senate, Joe Lieberman would be semi-retired from the Senate right now. Unfortunately, CT has neither of those and Lieberman got a mulligan. You might not like the netroots, but they were the driving force behind Lieberman’s primary loss.
