The return of Joementum
Joe Lieberman may be on the trail with his friend John McCain, but Lieberman's home state doesn't seem to care.

  • Defections?

    Speaking of Waterboard Joe's "Independent Democrat" leanings, I can't help but notice the Gallup polling results SLATE posted...

    Twenty-eight percent of current Hillary Clinton supporters say they would vote for John McCain over Barack Obama in the general election. Nineteen percent of Obama supporters would vote for McCain over Clinton.

    28% of Clintonites defect to McCain versus 19% of Obama supporters? WTF, Clintonites? My hope is that Obama's draw among the more-numerous independents would counteract the ill effects of these faithless Clintonites (I mean, really -- I know Clinton's run a Republicratic campaign the whole time, but you'd actually vote McCain??? In-fucking-sane). I called this so long ago, it's ridiculous. If the Clintons can't win, they'll try to destroy the Democratic Party.
