What I can't get over is the stunning _lack_ of principle here. It's confirmation of the kind of mushy, indecisive, cowardly, CYA image that Republicans try to pin on Democrats all the time. If there was no other reason to vote against him that would be it. That when push comes to shove he's not liberal or moderate or even principled. He's just a whiny little brat who wants it both ways.

Joe Lieberman, stand up and be a man. If it's your party then support it; stay in the race and respect the result. If you truely have a 'higher loyalty' then honor that loyalty and get out.
