HARRY WOULD BE BANANAS
With its usual "gravitas", the Washington Post:
"Anti-war"? Hardly. What this does is merely confirm what we have suspected was happening for some time. This morning Harry is really spinning.
I'm done as a Democrat now. It's taken me nearly five years to get to this point, as the party slid downhill from September 11, 2001. But it's not like it's a surprise: we all saw this happening. I hated it. I fought it. I didn't want to turn my back on the party I had been part of since I registered as a voter at 18.
For if Lieberman's out as a Democrat for espousing views Harry Truman would have approved of, the game is up. Essentially, Joe's loss has "turned out the lights". So, I'm now a Republican. I'm very sorry, Harry.
