Tonight's result likely scared 58 Dems into acting just like Joe Lieberman

[scheming daemons]

You don't like Joe Lieberman? Well... a lot of Democratic senators are going to read tonight's result and start sounding just like him for the midterm elections.


You'd LIKE to think that they will become MORE forceful in tacking left. But the opposite will happen.


59 Joes. That's what we're going to have for the next 10 months.

1. Have you looked at Lieberman's numbers in his home state recently? n/t

[Hawkeye-X]

2. Tonight's action is supposed to SCARE them back to their roots - i.e., the LEFT

not the right.

Hawkeye-X

4. That's what it's supposed to do Hawkeye

But given the Dem's eternal talent for misreading the tea leaves they'll do exactly the opposite and run screaming to the right.

3. If political suicide is their bag then they can go for it.

5. I am guessing you didn't hear the statement from Jim Webb, am I correct? I thought so,

look it up!

They just read it on CNN..

6. Nope now we have no Joe.

No more assholes forcing us to drop the only decent part of our bills.

[Kablooie]

7. You're probably right. The Democrats will now try to emulate Lieberman and the GOP to curry votes.

[HughMoran]

8. Fuck that.

It's time to be more aggressive.
