Lieberman wins!

The three-term incumbent senator was beaten by a political unknown, but on election night his team was already spinning it as a victory.

    Every advantage but one

    I really don't see an indy run materializing for Joe, much less being successful. He was a three-term incumbent with a $12 million dollar warchest and 100% name recgonition. The only advantage he didn't have was the support of the voters.

    Apparently this is a trivial distinction to Mr. Lieberman, who has decided that the voters just don't know what they're doing and must be scolded and spanked and reminded that they work for HIM, not the other way around. Oh, wait, that doesn't quite sound right to me.
