CT: Liberal Blogosphere beginning to turn against Lieberman

Kos begins the tide of finding a "legitimate primary challenger to Lieberman " and that person might "garner serious netroot support" Here is his case against him...

Lieberman on rice:
Lieberman said voting against Rice as a protest of past disagreements over Iraq was futile, and urged senators to back Rice with an eye toward actions she can now take to improve the situation. "Give America's national interest the benefit of the doubt," Lieberman said.

And this:
Lieberman spoke passionately of Rice as a stalwart in the "world war with Islamic terrorism." He urged an end to political partisanship over Iraq, "particularly so when our nation is engaged in a war, a global war on terrorism, a war in Iraq in which Americans have already lost their lives in the cause of freedom and in protection of our security."


And my favorite:
Joseph Lieberman, a Connecticut Democrat who strongly backed the war, urged a "resounding vote" for Rice to show "that we're together for what we're pursuing which is a successful conclusion to our involvement in Iraq and to the spread of freedom and democracy throughout the world."


He ends with "But does Connecticut truly deserve this neocon? "

I think that if CT can promise us a democrat (which they can) then we should find someone more inline with the democrats than with the bush-clan. We agree.
