Joe Lieberman did a great job unintentionally of reminding many rank and file Republicans why they couldn't stand John McCain. As Lieberman talked about McCain's stances against the party's orthodoxy on global warming and immigration, you could hear the crowds murmur in disapproval. Republican crowds like their talking points. Lieberman's speech might have played well with David Broder's Washington, but the only real applause lines he got was when Lieberman did his spiel of attacking Democrats. That's OK. He's no longer one. He might call himself an independent Democrat, but he's in office for his last term as a Connecticut for Lieberman Party member. There's no D after his name any more. He didn't leave the party. The party kicked his sorry ass out.
