Hawkeye Republican

Here at the Hawkeye Republican, we don't like to get too involved in Democratic primaries. Still, no one can ignore the fact that anti-war challenger Ned Lamont defeated incumbent Joe Lieberman for the Democratic party's senate nomination yesterday in Connecticut. Senator Lieberman has been one of influential and respected senators from either party in the past twenty years. His crime? To support the war in the Iraq.

I have alot to say on this, but a Washington Times quotation from one of America's premiere foreign policy experts, Michael Moore, captures the spirit of this coming election pretty well:

"Let the resounding defeat of Senator Joe Lieberman send a cold shiver down the spine of every Democrat who supported the invasion of Iraq and who continues to support, in any way, this senseless, immoral, unwinnable war."
