Posted at 7:50pm on Dec. 16, 2007 Think Of It As Netroots Fury Fodder

By Pejman Yousefzadeh

Behold. After we get over all of the predictable talk about how Lieberman is "yet another neocon who can't be trusted and never really was a Democrat and should be drummed out of the party and would have been drummed out of the party if only Ned Lamont could live up to the netroots' fantasies," let us get an answer to the following question: How is it that a former Vice Presidential nominee of the Democratic Party, the man praised nearly eight years ago as being a pathbreaker, has ended up departing from the Democrats on so crucial an issue? Oh sure, maybe Joe Lieberman departed in some ways from the Democratic Party. But maybe--just maybe--the Democrats departed in some significant ways from him as well.

And maybe Democrats who identify closely with Lieberman feel the same way. They might vote how they feel too.
