For all the complaints about the two party system, when one candidate plans to run as an independent he is called every name in the book. Why? Because it may affect a party’s control in a two party system?

INDY500 said:Would Lieberman still have lost had news of the thwarted terror attack in the U.K. broke on Monday instead of today?
Dreadsox said:No, because when he loses after participating in the rules for the two party system, he acts like a sore loser.
The people of CT have spoken. They have done their job. They decided that the person representing them was not representing their opinions.
He lost.
If he wanted to be independant, he should have declared that and not made the primary run.

Does CT have open primaries? Or are Tuesday results evidence of the will of 52% of the registered voting Democrats in CT?

[q]Campaigning in Connecticut, Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, who lost Tuesday's Democratic primary and is now running as an independent, said the antiwar views of primary winner Ned Lamont would be "taken as a tremendous victory by the same people who wanted to blow up these planes in this plot hatched in England."

INDY500 said:It will be interesting to see polls taken this week. I'm guessing Bush, Republicans and Lieberman all show upsurges in popularity directly linked to raised concerns about terrorism.
Some of you may not like it, but many Americans take the War on Terror seriously, and they will vote this November accordingly.

Yup, so early August is perfect timing for a terrorist announcement to profit on it dearly come November.

The People of CT have spoken? I don't think thats accurate. The Democrats of CT have spoken and have defeated Lieberman by a small margin in their little primary. As for the people of CT, let them decide in the general election who is the best candidate regardless of what party their in.
(CNN) -- Is top Republican strategist and White House political adviser Karl Rove helping Sen. Joseph Lieberman's re-election bid, on the heels of the latter's Democratic primary loss this week?
"He's a personal friend, and I called him Tuesday afternoon -- 5:00, thereabouts -- and wished him well on his election that night," the GOP political guru said. "It was a personal call."
