Democratic perspectives from a red state
This morning, Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.) announced that he has authorized petitions to be circulated in his name, making him an independent candidate for the U.S. Senate nomination in Connecticut.
By this action, Lieberman has betrayed the Democratic Party. He is not willing to be bound by the rules by which the Party's nominees are selected. He has indicated that, if he should lose the Democratic primary, he will actively oppose the Democratic nominee in the general election. This act of disloyalty and unfair play should not be tolerated.
Sen. Minority Leader Harry Reid should immediately announce that he is suspending all forms of aid to Lieberman, and he should affirm that he will support the Democratic nominee after the primary. This would be an act of leadership which the Party sorely needs. Give 'em hell, Harry.
